RHDSimulations has recently released their rendition of the Boeing 767-200/200ER for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, featuring a high-detail 3D model, PBR textures, true-to-life animations, and more.

The 767-200 was the first variant of the 767 family to take flight, first flying in late 1981 and obtaining its certification a few months later. By September of that same year, the 767 was already operating commercially with United Airlines.

It was designed to complement the larger Boeing 747, offering an intermediate option for lower-density long-haul routes. It was Boeing’s first wide-body twinjet, and its success led to the conception of the 777 nearly 13 years later (they were originally intending to develop a larger-capacity 767).

It was launched in the late 1980s and is powered by General Electric CF6 engines. The normal variant has a total range of 7,200 km, and the extended range variant has 12,200 km. 

The add-on features an accurate 3D model of the airplane, with PBR texturing, realistic animations, an authentic flight model for both variants, a simple IRS system simulation, custom dynamic cockpit lighting, modified PFD, MFD, and EICAS screens, and much more. The complete feature list follows below:

• 767-200 and 767-200ER equipped with General Electric CF6 engines
• Accurate modeling of exterior, flight deck, and cabin with attention to every detail
• 4K/8K PBR textures for the whole aircraft
• True to life animations of flight surfaces, landing gear components, and doors
• Wingflex animations with smooth and dynamic bending
• Custom animations of various cockpit elements like side windows, seats, armrests, and entry door
• Authentic flight models for both the -200 and -200ER variant
• Custom soundwork for engines, wind noise, cockpit room tone, and various of the custom animations
• Modified PFD, MFD, and EICAS screens, including both engine and status display for lower EICAS
• Simple IRS system and heating / temperature simulation included
• Realistic fuel system, with custom fuel indicator screens
• Custom dynamic cockpit lighting
• Cabin includes working Flight Attendant Panel for lighting controls, functioning TV screens, custom IFE for many liveries, as well as working seatbelt and no smoking signs
• Engine, APU, and wing effects, like contrails, engine and APU heat, and vortices
• Decision Height, Engine Standby Instrument, and IRS Mode Selector screens made from scratch
• Full support for MSFS ground equipment and GSX profile included
• Support for the native startup checklist

Although heavily modified, the developers mention that it’s still rooted in the default 747 systems, meaning it’s not a study-level product.

It’s available on SimMarket for roughly $28.23, requiring at least 4.92 GB of free hard disk space to install.
