FSX All Nippon Airways Boeing 777-200

This freeware Boeing 777-200 rendition for FSX features All Nippon Airways’ recognizable design and refined flight dynamics. Developed by Melvin Rafi (Meljet) and further enhanced by David Grindele, it introduces improved aerodynamics, integrated lighting, and fully preserved visual quality. The airframe’s functioning engine cowlings and jetway compatibility add immersive realism that complements the modern simulator environment.

Key Modifications

This airliner began as a model designed for older simulators. The exporter used that foundation to blend newer features into FSX without losing the original textures and geometry. Revised air and configuration files bring stability, and the addition of A2A 3D Lights plus Redux enhances the exterior illumination. The engine cowlings open (use Shift+E), revealing meticulous internal details, and the jetway now aligns properly at the gate (use Ctrl+J).

Aircraft Details

The Boeing 777-200 series offers a wide-body, twin-engine layout famous for transcontinental routes, making it ideal for virtual journeys. All Nippon Airways, a major carrier in Japan, often relies on 777 aircraft for both regional and international operations. Authentic livery elements create a realistic simulation of this airline’s fleet. The original artistry by Melvin Rafi remains intact, ensuring the model’s historical accuracy. David Grindele then adjusted key flight characteristics for FSX, preserving the precision Meljet aimed for.

Installation Notes

1. Place the included “Aircraft” folder in the “SimObjects/Airplanes” directory within FSX.
2. Launch FSX, open the aircraft selection menu, and find the corresponding entry under “MELJET.”
3. Everything required ships with this release, aside from the A2A 3D Lights & Redux add-on. That optional program is needed if you want advanced lighting effects.

This add-on has been tested only in FSX under Windows Vista (32-bit) and Windows XP. Other environments may require additional configuration.

This comprehensive freeware pack exemplifies the best of both original and modern updates. By blending classic craftsmanship with refined performance, Melvin Rafi and David Grindele ensure the 777-200 remains a vital part of any FSX fleet. Enjoy the detailed cockpit environment, functional animations, and crisp textures as you experience one of Japan’s most recognized commercial jets in your Microsoft Flight Simulator library.
