RHDSimulations has just released the Boeing 767-300ER for Microsoft Flight Simulator, offering flight enthusiasts the chance to fly one of the most popular jets produced by the American manufacturer. The aircraft comes equipped with General Electric CF6 engines and features options for both winglets and original wingtips.
The Boeing 767-300ER was first purchased by American Airlines and began regular flights in 1988. With ETOPS certifications, the jet has been popular flying across the Atlantic, and as of 2023, 29 airlines still use them in their operations. The aircraft’s long range of 11,000 km and normal seat configuration of 225 seats makes it a popular choice for airlines looking for a middle-of-the-market aircraft between larger jets like the 747 and smaller ones like the 737.
The developers have paid close attention to detail in modeling the exterior, flight deck, and cabin, and have included 4K/8K PBR textures for the whole aircraft. Additionally, the 767-300ER boasts true-to-life animations of flight surfaces, landing gear components, and doors, as well as wingflex animations with smooth and dynamic bending.
Other features include custom animations of various cockpit elements such as side windows, seats, and armrests, as well as an authentic flight model. The cockpit screens have been modified to replicate the real aircraft, and the fuel system is the same as that used in the actual plane. The 767-300ER also features custom dynamic cockpit lighting, engine and wing effects such as contrails, engine heat, and vortices, and full support for MSFS ground equipment.
While the majority of the features are what one would expect from MSFS, the systems are presented as being based on Asobo’s default aircrafts, including the 747, with customization mostly limited to the visual side. As a result, the 767-300ER may not provide the most realistic flying experience for enthusiasts seeking a more engaging experience. This 767 appears to have a similar approach to Captain Sim’s aircrafts, with “customized” 747 systems, especially with their recent announcement of a 767 model too.
It’s worth noting that, while the RHDSimulations 767-300ER has been designed to fit the quality standards of the new generation flight simulator, it is not intended to be a true-to-life replica of the aircraft. The add-on may not include all the functions of the real-life 767, and buyers should be aware of this before making their purchase.
The RHDSimulations Boeing 767-300ER for MSFS is now available on Simmarket, priced at €25. The aircraft includes 13 liveries from all continents, including American Airlines, EuroAtlantic, LATAM, United Airlines, Icelandair, Ethiopian Airlines, Japan Airlines, SAS Star Alliance, TUI fly Nordic, Qantas, Condor, and a generic white livery.
In conclusion, the RHDSimulations Boeing 767-300ER for MSFS offers a detailed and immersive flying experience for enthusiasts seeking to fly one of the most popular jets produced by the American manufacturer. While the addon may not provide a true-to-life replica of the aircraft, it offers detailed exterior and liveries to keep virtual pilots engaged. Those interested in purchasing the addon can do so on Simmarket.
