This freeware package features the Boeing 747-800 in a WestJet paint scheme, originally developed by Project Open Sky and updated by David Grindele. It provides a complete set of files ready to fly in FSX under various Windows operating environments. The design includes refined aerodynamics, a long-range configuration, and a modern cockpit layout. The developers have ensured compatibility with multiple platforms and carried out thorough checks for any system or security issues.

Overview

The Boeing 747-800 [a derivative of the Queen of the Skies] offers extended wings, advanced flight deck technology, and improved fuel efficiency over earlier variants. In this release, Project Open Sky’s flight model underpins the aircraft’s behavior, and the WestJet-inspired livery adds a distinctive visual presence. If you are seeking an expanded jumbo jet experience in your simulator, you may find this model particularly interesting. The creators also included various improvements, such as refined flight characteristics and an upgraded exterior model.
