Overland 767-300

 

review

The Boeing 767 is a medium to long haul wide-body commercial passenger jet aircraft. It can carry between 181 and 375 passengers over a distance of max. 12,200 Km. The 767 was launched to replace the 707 and fill the gap between the 727/757 and the 747. The first 767, the -200 variant, entered service with United Airlines in 1982. Blended winglets are available as a retrofit to increase fuel efficiency and range.

Simmer's sky is a label of the Japanese company Overland Co.,Ltd. Along with a few other products, they sell the Fly into the sky! package, which contains many Airbus and Boeing aircraft.

Like all aircraft in the Fly into the sky! package, this Boeing 767-300 is a beautifully designed aircraft and represents its real world counterpart well. The package contains four Boeing 767-300 liveries: Aeroflot, Air Canada, Vietnam Airlines and British Airways. The 2d panel is frame rate friendly, but doesn't have a FMC. For full IFR flights, you need to use the default Carmin GPS unit. ILS Approaches are no problem, just enter the course/ILS frequency and use the LOC and APPR buttons. The virtual cockpit is a bit simple, only the most important systems are modeled. But it looks nice and is frame rate friendly too. There is also a wingview model for even better frame rate.

The flight dynamics are not bad and the landing gear behaves very realistic. There are various models available like RR, GE and PW engine variants but no cargo version.

    hey chris, does this aircraft not have the "minimal ground effect" that the rest of the overlands have?
