Built for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
This is a dedicated FS2024 release, not a port. The aircraft has been rebuilt from the ground up to leverage the
simulator's new rendering and simulation capabilities, delivering visual and aerodynamic fidelity that was simply not
possible before.
Advanced paint & clearcoat rendering The fuselage uses FS2024's native clearcoat system with a paint-flake detail layer and real-time rain response, giving the aircraft a lifelike painted-metal appearance that reacts to light and weather.
Working windshield wipers with rain clearing Rain droplets form on the windshield and clear dynamically under the wiper blades, visible from both the cockpit and external views, at correct slow and fast
speeds.
Progressive weathering system The aircraft accumulates wear across flights. Brake dust builds on the belly underside, exhaust soot streaks the wings behind each nacelle, hydraulic fluid marks the pylons and flap tracks, and tyre wear darkens the wheels over time. Three independent dirt channels drive this, so each
type of wear evolves at its own pace.
Leading edge erosion Wings, slats, engine inlets and tail surfaces show realistic paint erosion and bare metal -- the hallmark of a hard-working widebody.
Icing & snow accumulation Structural ice builds on the leading edges in icing conditions. Snow settles on the upper surfaces when parked sub-zero and melts naturally as temperatures rise.
Emirates desert dust On UAE variants, fine sand gradually coats the upper fuselage, wings and nacelle tops to reflect real-world desert operations out of Dubai.
Native CFD aerodynamics Real-time computational fluid dynamics model the entire airframe, including all four engine nacelles, for accurate lift, drag and airflow behaviour across the flight envelope.
FS2024 Career Mode compatible Fully certified for Career Mode airline operations, passing all Initialization, Specialization and Equipment checks for scheduled commercial service.
