FSX Airbus A300B4F

This complete freeware Airbus A300B4F package brings one of aviation's first twin-engine widebody aircraft to Microsoft Flight Simulator X. It includes five different liveries, a dedicated model, and custom audio that accurately reflects the real freighter's acoustic signature. Cargo operators frequently rely on the A300B4F for mid-range hauls, thanks to its robust structure and efficient engine layout.

A300B4F Model Details

The developers, Tom Ruth and Jon Reeves, created a fully realized base model that captures the cargo variant’s fuselage contours. Although it does not include a virtual cockpit, the external design stands out with precise proportions and detailed control surfaces.

Unique Texture Sets

Freight carriers demand distinctive markings, so this package includes five high-fidelity texture sets. Painters have reproduced specific livery details, such as realistic registration font and correctly scaled cargo door outlines, to ensure each repaint has an authentic look from every viewing angle.

Cockpit and Sound Integration

While there is no virtual cockpit, the panel from Dave Hazelgrove offers a functional 2D interface that provides essential gauges and readouts suited for strategic cargo flights. The Emil Serafino Jr. soundset adds depth to the experience by incorporating engine spool-up nuances and unique internal alerts.

Installation Recommendations

Please install all files in the correct directories. For more details, consult the included documentation, which may require a PDF reader. Verify that the panel, sounds, and texture folders are placed properly so the aircraft appears fully configured within the simulator menu.

Developers and Credits

All authors involved—Tom Ruth, Jon Reeves, Dave Hazelgrove, and Emil Serafino Jr.—contributed substantial knowledge to replicate the A300B4F’s operational design.
