Let’s dive right in and take a look at this incredible aircraft! Installation and DocumentationĪfter downloading the 767 from your preferred flightsim reseller, you’ll find yourself with a zip file that contains the aircraft. Although I can already say that Flight Factor has done an amazing job, that much should be clear of such a popular dev team. With this being the most successful version of an already popular aircraft, there is a lot of pressure on FF to get things right. Power is provided by Pratt & Whitney PW4000, General Electric CF6, or Rolls-Royce RB211 engines. Typical routes for the type include Los Angeles to Frankfurt. The combination of increased capacity and range offered by the 767-300ER has been particularly attractive to both new and existing 767 operators. It is the most successful version of the aircraft, with more orders placed than all other variants combined. As of November 2015, 767-300ER deliveries stand at 583 with no unfilled orders. There were 467 examples in service as of July 2015. The type’s main competitor is the Airbus A330-200. Design improvements allowed the available MTOW to increase to 412,000 lb (187,000 kg) by 1993. The 767-300ER, the extended-range version of the 767-300, entered service with American Airlines in 1988. The type’s increased range was made possible by greater fuel tankage and a higher MTOW of 407,000 lb (185,000 kg).

Some real-world info about the 767-300ER seems appropriate, as this is a study-level simulation. A rather large part of that is simply the systems portion, so buckle up! I can tell you right now that this will be a very, very lengthy review. There’s really no point in asking whether or not the 767-300ER is worth that hype, but perhaps it’s worth it asking just how well all of those features are implemented and how they stack up to the previous efforts made by FF. The anticipation, partially awakened by FF’s previous work and partially by the extremely large list of features, has risen to what is arguably the highest it’s ever been for an X-Plane product release. The Flight Factor/StepToSky 767 is a product that many, many people in the X-Plane community have been looking forward to. Commercial Aircraft Review Flight Factor/StepToSky Boeing 767-300ER
