Test of
Boeing B767 Captain
Produced by Captain Sim
Boeing B767 is a twin engine, wide body, mid-size jet airliner built by Boeing Commercial Airplanes since the early 1980s. The development occurred in tandem with the B757 resulting in shared design features which allows pilots to obtain a common type rating to operate both aircrafts.
Depending on variant the B767 is equipped with either General Electric, Pratt & Whitney or Rolls-Royce engines and the capacity varies from 181 to 375 persons with a range from 3,850nmi to 6,385nmi (7.130 – 11.825km). The B767 was the first wide-body Boeing to be configurated with a two-crew glass cockpit and is built both for commercial and military use.
I received this add-on directly from Captain Sim and download went as usual, very quickly and without any problems – Super connection to/from the Captain Sim server which means a lot, especially because I downloaded both the base pack and all expansion packs.
Installation was also like other products from Captains Sim, very easy, quick and user friendly – just apply the installation wizard and that’s it. After installation I of cause opened FSX to check if everything was placed as it should be and of cause it was. It is really easy to install expansion packs from Captain Sim, the wizard does it all – very nice. The B767 liveries was all placed very nicely in the Captain Sim folder – Included is 20 liveries which I think it superb, and all the mini pictures are of cause of the variant it corresponds to, and not just one picture that covers them all.
Since I have all expansion packs I have both the commercial versions (200 and 300), the freight versions and the two military versions as the tanker and the AWACS. Normally I would be very satisfied with just the commercial and freighter version, but to also have the two military versions is over the top – I have never been into the KC-10 in real life, however I have been in the older tanker the B707 (KC-135), so it was a little like looking back on that experience which I of cause will never forget.
I started the external view-around and I have to say that Captain Sim really have an eye for the details. The model is so very well made with a huge number of details and animations that I was quite stunned. I noticed that the B767 had already won several awards, so my expectations was of cause high, but I was still surprised by the level of quality I was looking at.
As far as I could see, the model is a perfect version of the real B767 and Captain Sim has animated everything possible in my opinion. All from standard control surfaces to doors, spoilers, gear etc and that with a level of detail like the B737 from Captain Sim. The texture quality is superb, the finish is excellent and if you combine thi
