This freeware modification offers a highly reflective Boeing 777-200ER for FSX. It includes customized flight files, opening engine cowlings, and compatibility with A2A 3D Lights and Redux. Original design by Melvin Rafi, with FSX updates and conversion by David Grindele, it brings polished visuals and improved dynamics to a beloved twin-engine widebody.

Overview

This 777-200ER GE features striking chrome effects. The fuselage reflects surrounding light to simulate a metallic sheen. The design is derived from the well-known MELJET aircraft created by Melvin Rafi. Through precise software adjustments, David Grindele tailored it for FSX use.

Technical Details

The air file and configuration file have been refined to enhance handling in FSX. Flight dynamics now deliver a balanced experience across climb, cruise, and landing phases. The aircraft retains MELJET’s original attention to detail, including the detailed engine cowlings. By pressing Shift+E, you will see engine components open for inspection. The interactive jetway will also engage by pressing Ctrl+J when parked at a compatible gate.

Visual Enhancements

This release preserves MELJET’s high-quality textures while introducing a chrome finish for the fuselage. A2A 3D Lights and Redux support has been integrated, which allows realistic external and internal lighting effects (this requires the separate A2A package). These modifications showcase the aircraft’s geometry under various lighting conditions, adding depth to the virtual cockpit and external surfaces.

Compatibility and Testing

This freeware add-on only underwent testing in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Operating systems tested include Windows Vista 32-bit and Windows XP. Performance remains stable, with good frame rates on most FSX-capable setups.

Installation Steps

  1. Extract the provided “Aircraft” folder from the compressed download.
  2. Place that folder inside the “SimObjects\Airplanes” directory of your FSX installation.
  3. Launch FSX, select the MELJET manufacturer, and choose the Real Chrome Boeing 777-200ER.

No additional files are required for basic functionality. However, A2A 3D Lights and Redux are needed to enable the advanced lighting effects. This aircraft is freeware, reflecting the dedicated work of both Melvin Rafi and David Grindele to preserve the MELJET legacy.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D aircraft

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

  2. Copy aircraft files into SimObjects

    Place the aircraft folder inside FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\. The folder must contain an aircraft.cfg file. Effects go into FSX\Effects\; gauges go into FSX\Gauges\.

  3. Verify in FSX

    Launch FSX, go to Free Flight → Select Aircraft and find your new aircraft under its manufacturer.

  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.
