This freeware release showcases a detailed Air France rendition of the Boeing 777-200, integrating refined flight dynamics and additional effects. It includes opening engine panels and functional jetways, while preserving the distinct modeling standards envisioned by its creators. Original model by Melvin Rafi, with FSX enhancements by David Grindele.

Overview and Background

This twin-engine wide-body jet first appeared in commercial service in the mid-1990s. Air France, a major global carrier, added the 777-200 to its long-haul fleet to bolster international connectivity. In this freeware mod, you will experience detailed external architecture and custom flight parameters tailored for FSX. Users may note its careful geometry, underlying flight envelope tuning, and compatibility enhancements geared toward modern hardware.

Key Technical Highlights

  • Improved Flight Dynamics – The original configuration files and air data were meticulously tweaked to retain realistic performance. This optimization aligns with FSX standards and aims to preserve the fluid handling and lifelike response that the developers originally envisioned.
  • A2A 3D Lights Integration – The aircraft includes attachment points and configuration for A2A 3D Lights & Redux (not included in the package). This addition amplifies visual fidelity during nighttime operations and ground activities.
  • Functional Engine Cowlings – By pressing Shift + E, you can open the cowling sections to view engine assemblies. This feature highlights the intricate modeling of the powerplant area and evokes real-world maintenance procedures.
  • Compatible Gate Services – When parked at a jetway-enabled airport, tap Ctrl + J to extend or retract the passenger boarding bridge. This flexible support helps simulate realistic loading operations.

Enhanced Visual Features

The creators, most notably Melvin Rafi, ensured precise outlines and textures that reflect Air France’s livery. By integrating advanced lighting effects in FSX, the mod accentuates fuselage reflections and dynamic shadows. The external surfaces exhibit a polished sheen, while interior views remain true to the original layout.

Installation Instructions

  1. Extract and copy the included “Aircraft” folder into the default ...\FSX\Simobjects\Airplane\ directory.
  2. Open FSX, browse your aircraft library, and select “MELJET” from the manufacturer list.
  3. Choose the Air France 777-200 model. All essential files are included except the A2A Lights program, which is optional but recommended.

System Compatibility

This model has undergone testing on FSX with Windows Vista (32-bit) and Windows XP. While results may vary on newer operating systems, no significant issues have been reported. Periodic checks of configuration files may be beneficial for smooth performance in different setups.

Creators and Credits

Original model development is attributed to Melvin Rafi, whose expertise produced the core geometry and realism. The FSX port and flight tuning are attributed to David Grindele, ensuring compatibility with modern simulators. Their dedication allows this classic triple-seven add-on to thrive in current flight simulation environments.

There's no virtual cockpit, it's just completely invisible. Why would you not include this? I followed the installation instructions perfectly.
