Flight Simulator Boeing 767-300
Posted by: adminAbout the Boeing 767-300 aircraft for flight simulator for FSX, FS2004 and FS2002.
In October 2007, All Nippon Virtual Airways (ANA) sent one of its Boeing 767-300 (JA8286) to ST Flight simulator and Aviation Services Co., in Paya Lebar, Singapore, to undergo the world’s first 767 PTF (Passenger To Freighter) program. The conversion was completed, on schedule, in June 2008 and designated as a Boeing 767-300BCF, or “Boeing Converted Freighter” for virtual airlines. The 767-300’s direct competitor from Airbus is the A330-200. The 767-300 is expected to be replaced by the 787-8 in Boeing’s lineup. As of January 2009, total orders for the 767-300/300ER/300F stand at 752 with 683 delivered. This includes 104 orders (all delivered) for the -300, 566 orders for the -300ER (530 delivered), and 82 orders for the -300F (49 delivered) for virtual airlines around the world for fligth simulator.

The 767-300 is a lengthened 767 ordered by Japan Virtual Airlines in 1983. It first flew on January 14, 1986, and was delivered to JAL Virtual Airlines on 25 September.The 767-300ER is the extended-range version of the -300. It first flew for flight simulator in 1986 and received its first commercial virtual airline orders when American Virtual Airlines purchased several in 1987. The aircraft entered service with American Virtual Airlines for flight simulator service in 1988. In 1995, EVA Air Virtual Airlines used a 767-300ER to inaugurate the first transpacific 767 service. The -300ER has a takeoff run of up to 11,800 ft (3,600 m).[27] The 767-300ER can be retrofitted with blended winglets from Aviation Partners Boeing. These winglets are 11 ft (3.4 m) long and will decrease fuel consumption an estimated 6.5% on the -300ER. The 767-300F is the air freight version of the 767-300ER, first ordered by UPS Virtual Airlines in 1993 and delivered in 1995. The 767-300F can hold up to 24 standard 88 inch by 125 inch pallets or containers on its main deck and any combination of up seven 88 in by 125 in or 96 in by 125 in pallets or containers. This model has two doors on the main deck plus three on the lower deck. The two upper doors comprise of one for the virtual airline crew and one for the cargo. Of the three doors on the bottom, two are on the right side, and one is at the rear left side for virtual airlines and flight simulator.
Boeing announced that it was developing a stretched development of the 767-200 for virtual airlines in February 1982. The resulting 767-300 features a 6.42m (21ft 1in) stretch consisting of fuselage plugs forward (3.07m/10ft 1in) and behind (3.35m/11ft) the wing centre section. The flight simulator flightdeck and systems were carried directly over from the 767-200, the only other changes were minor, and related to the increased weights of the new version. Initially the max takeoff weight was the same as the later 767-200ER. The 767-300 flew for the first time on January 30 1986, and was awarded virtual airline certification and entered service in September that year. The higher weight Extended Range ER version flew on December 19 1986, while RollsRoyce RB-211-524G engines became available from 1989. The range of the 767-300ER has proven to be very popular with a number of virtual airlines using them for long range low density virtual airline flights. In 1993 Boeing launched the 767-300F General Market Freighter for virtual airlines to order. Changes include strengthened undercarriage and wing structure, a cargo handling system, no cabin windows and a main deck freight door. Capacity is 24 containers. The further stretched 767-400 for virtual airlines is described separately.
