This comprehensive freeware add-on features an Emirates Boeing 777-31H model meticulously adapted for FSX. Created originally by MelJet’s Melvin Rafi, and further refined by developer David Grindele, this release upgrades flight dynamics, lighting, and overall realism for users seeking an authentic wide-body experience in their simulator.

Key Enhancements

Improved performance parameters were applied to the air configuration and flight files (often referred to as the AIR and CFG files). These refinements address former flight characteristic inconsistencies from earlier simulator platforms. The developer also integrated A2A Redux 3D Lights to enhance external lighting effects. Note that the Redux program itself is required to gain full 3D illumination functionality.

Maintenance Access and Ground Operations

The original MelJet design includes opening engine cowlings, which can be toggled by pressing Shift + E. These cowlings reveal detailed engine components for inspection. Additionally, a jetway will properly connect to the aircraft fuselage by pressing Ctrl + J while positioned at a compatible gate. These elements accentuate the immersive aspect of ground handling operations.

Visual Highlights

The airframe retains the distinctive Emirates livery that complements the Boeing 777’s wide-body silhouette. Equally notable is the attention to external textures, ensuring reflective surfaces and dynamic light effects under different lighting conditions. In combination with the Redux package, the overall visual appeal closely mirrors real-world ramp presence.

Tested Platforms

This add-on underwent evaluation exclusively in FSX on both Windows Vista (32-bit) and Windows XP environments. It may work in other configurations, but official support is limited to the tested setups mentioned.

Installation Procedure

  1. Extract and copy the “Aircraft” folder contained in this package into the “SimObjects/Airplanes” directory of your FSX installation.
  2. Open FSX, select “MELJET” from the aircraft menu, then choose the Emirates Boeing 777-31H variant.
  3. Everything needed to operate this aircraft is included, apart from the A2A 3D Lights & Redux software. To enable advanced external lighting, you must have the Redux add-on installed.

Credits

Original aircraft design by Melvin Rafi (MelJet). Conversion to FSX format and extensive updates by David Grindele. Both creators invested considerable effort to preserve this model’s quality and ensure that it remains a viable choice for modern flight simulators.

Hi. I am a bit confused - I have just downloaded this aircraft at 59.16 MB, having previously downloaded the "300 ER" at around 18 MB as I thought the larger the better. Having now looked at them both, they seem to be the same. If I am missing something please let me know...  Roger Stubbs.
