Immerse yourself in the world of dedicated freight operations with this detailed Airbus A340-600F model, decorated in Arrow Cargo VA’s livery. Designed as a freeware package for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, it features a repaint by Mathieu Vos (APSS) and a high-fidelity base model created by Thomas Ruth.

Focused Details on the A340-600F Framework

The Airbus A340-600F, benefited by its elongated fuselage and substantial payload capacity, emerges as a strong choice for endlessly hauling cargo between continents. Its extensive wingspan and advanced aerodynamics enable smooth long-haul flights, even under extensive load requirements. Arrow Cargo VA capitalizes on these attributes by offering efficient freight services across major routes. This rendition portrays the distinctive livery markings, reflecting the real-world cargo culture.
