Boeing 767-300F

This is the Boeing 767-300F by 'Michael_Chang'.

The 767-300F, the production freighter version of the 767-300ER, entered service with UPS Airlines in 1995. The 767-300F can hold up to 24 standard 88-by-125-inch (2,200 by 3,200 mm) pallets on its main deck and up to 30 LD2 unit load devices on the lower deck, with a total cargo volume of 15,469 cubic feet (438 m3). The freighter has a main deck cargo door and crew exit, while the lower deck features two port-side cargo doors and one starboard cargo door. A general market version with onboard freight-handling systems, refrigeration capability, and crew facilities was delivered to Asiana Airlines on August 23, 1996.[56] As of October 2013, 767-300F deliveries stand at 86 with 44 unfilled orders. Airlines operated 90 examples of the freighter variant and freighter conversions in July 2013.

This aircraft is very nice, as the engine fan rotates and the wings flex. Sadly, it only comes with a 2d cockpit.

Myasishchev VM-T

This is the VM-T for X-Plane 10.

The Myasishchev VM-T Atlant (Russian: Мясищев ВМ-Т «Атлант», with the "VM-T" ("BM-T") standing for Vladimir Myasishchev – Transport) was a variant of Myasishchev's M-4 Molot bomber (the "3M") used as a strategic-airlift airplane. The VM-T was modified to carry rocket boosters and the Soviet space shuttles of the Buran program. It is also known as the 3M-T.

This aircraft is very sluggish, but that is what you would expect from such a large aircraft. Its cockpit come only in 2d, but looks very nice.

Ilyushin 96-400


This is the IL 96-400 by 'nicolas'.

This aircraft package contains the IL 96-400 and the IL 96 Cargo.

The Il-96-400 is similar to the Il-96M, but features Russian avionics and engines. It is powered by four Aviadvigatel PS90-A1 turbofans and can carry up to 436 passengers. Typical two-class configuration will have 386 passengers. Range with 315 passengers in a three-class configuration is about 10,000 km. A special version, dubbed Il-96-400VT, was reported on Friday 19 March 2010 by the Wall Street Journal to bid on the US $40 billion Air Force Tanker Program contract. In February 2013, Cubana signed a deal for the order of three 350-seater Ilyushin Il-96-400s.

This add-on used to be payware, but is now free. It is stunning. It has a 3d cockpit, with all doors and passenger cabins rendered. The door controls are on the left of the Captain's seat. This aircraft is slow to get going down the runaway, and needs a very long runaway to takeoff from.

Alenia C-27J Spartan

This is the Alenia C-27J Spartan by 'Paolo'. Even though this aircraft says it is for X-Plane 9, it is also compatible with X-Plane 10.

The Alenia C-27J Spartan is a medium-sized military transport aircraft. The C-27J is an advanced derivative of Alenia Aeronautica's G.222 (C-27A Spartan in U.S. service), with the engines and systems of the Lockheed Martin C-130J Super Hercules. The aircraft was selected as the Joint Cargo Aircraft (JCA) for the United States military, for which L3 is the prime contractor.

This model is fully animated: cockpit, control surfaces, landing gear, fuselage doors and cargo ramp.




This is the aircraft with all doors open. To find out how to open the door, there is a manual in the download folder.

FlyJSim Boeing 727-200F

These aircraft are the series of Boeing 727 which are available to buy from FlyJSim. Today, I will be reviewing this aircraft, the Boeing 727-200F.

A freighter version of the 727-200 Advanced became available in 1981 designated the Series 200F Advanced powered by the Pratt & Whitney JT8D-17A engines and featured a strengthened fuselage structure, an 11 ft 2 inch by 7 ft 2 inch forward main deck freight door and a windowless cabin. This was the last production variant of the 727 to be developed by Boeing, and 15 aircraft were built, all for Federal Express. The last 727 aircraft to be completed by Boeing was the Series 200F Advanced for Federal Express.

This extension is a brilliant add-on for X-Plane 10. It comes with 3 liveries, and has many features, such as a 2d and 3d cockpit, in-which everything is flickable and clickable: including the flight engineers panel! This aircraft also has flexible wings, so if you plough it into the runaway you will make the wings flex like crazy. On take-off, realistic rattling can be heard.

I would recommend buying all 3 in one go, as this is cheaper then buying them all individually.
