[ANNOUNCEMENT] Freeware Boeing 767 in development

Hi! We started the project back in October of 2021. We’ve been working on it since, and we have some progress to share!




The photos above show the state of the aircraft and its systems. They’ve been integrated with the Salty systems, which allow the plane’s autopilot to function well. I’ve created a fully custom PFD, upper and bottom EICAS, and animated many elements of the cockpit. The 767 can now be cold and dark started. However, there are still many elements which require improvement! If you’re interested in finding out more about the project, consider joining the Discord server: Lunar Simulations

Great news, I’ll be following this one.

Lovely, can’t go wrong with free; people will fly this as another jet airliner. But would you consider doing your own system rather than using salty mod And so I’m guessing also that the system is based off from the default 747 with salty mod improvements

Asking to do their own systems is like asking “Can you run a marathon instead of a 5k?”. I’d assume further in the future they would.

In the future, there is a high chance we will move to entirely new systems. However, that is not planned for a long while, until most of the aircraft is done. Mainly, creating an entirely new FMC/CDU, and new MFD will take a while on their own, as well as creating an entirely new autopilot system, which will also take a while. I believe it’s better that these systems work fine for now, and in the future when everything is more complete, we go back and begin reworking them.

I’m fully onboard with devs not reinventing the wheel especially on freeware mods. If you can reuse other tried and tested open source systems, it lets you get products out quicker with less resources. This kind of keeps freeware free :slight_smile:

It’s probably one of the main reasons the Headwind A330 is so popular.

This is awesome, any chance of doing up a Flight Engineer’s panel version as well? I have all the B767-277 manuals from Ansett Airlines
