Boeing 767-200ER PW 4000 Model AL
The upload Saga continues
This is the Boeing 767-200ER with Pratt and Whitney PW 4000 engines and a large cargo door at the front. The plane comes with many nice features and two liveries, Air Canada "frosted leaf" and Air Canada "silver bullet". Inside the package, there is a manual, THIS MANUAL IS VERY IMPORTANT AND YOU SHOULD READ IT FOR FLYING. If you own the 767-200 non ER, all the data is the same except for the highest efficiency flight rules.
Features:
Ground servicing stairs (activated by sliders)
detailed and accurate animations, including special steering, canting gears and dynamic wingflex
Dynamic lighting, activated by switches
Custom sounds by Jerry Ng
Detailed exterior model by Hiroshi Igami
Normal mapping by Peter Tram
flight model by Michael Chang, tested by a boeing pilot
The plane also comes with a 2d panel that SHOULD be pretty easy to follow. The manual also details how the plane should be flown.
Liveries for this aircraft should be shown to me first, and the file must specify which model of aircraft it is for (A, B, AL, BL, AWL, BWL) if you are unsure, please feel free to ask.
Credits:
Michael Chang: Animations, flight model
Hiroshi Igami: exterior model, guidance
Peter Tram: texture work and normal maps
Jerry Ng: sounds
Philip Foglar: original base textures, some liveries in other aircrafts
NO MODIFICATION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE AIRCRAFT IS ALLOWED UNLESS ALL OF THE ABOVE PEOPLE GIVE WRITTEN CONSENT OF SUCH ACTIONS. ALSO, PLEASE BE SURE TO TURN OF THE YAW DAMPER IN FLIGHT OR ELSE YOUR PLANE WILL HAVE AN EPILEPTIC SEIZURE.
Also, we're working on some special liveries for the next few 767s, get ready for awesomeness, here's what to expect:
767-300
ANA pokejet JA8288
767-300ER

McDonnell Douglas MD-80SF Conversion 0.8.0
By joeycao2004
Here is the rarely known MD-82SF, converted in real life by AEI Aeronautical Engineers, Inc., and here in X-Plane by me. This aircraft is based on Laminar Research's (Default) MD-82 and modified with permission. This aircraft is now in Beta version, featuring four freighter liveries and a slightly modified cabin with removed seats and cargo-style floor. Liveries include the first ever MD-80SF converted by AEI, registered N73444, which is later sold to Everts Air Cargo (also included), a normal Everts Air Cargo livery (Registered N965CE), and a Fitsair livery (Registered 4R-EXM). All livery and floor conversion made by me (feel free to view my other liveries for other aircrafts)
Please note that the windows inside is not yet sealed, so you can still see outside from the cabin. This will be fixed in later updates. An animated cargo door is also planned to be added. However, feel free to check this aircraft out in the current stage.
If you have any thoughts or comments regarding the aircraft, feel free to comment below. If you find any problem on the livery, feel free to @ me in the comment or, if you want a direct message, send me a message. Thank you!
If you like the work, please consider support my Cargo Conversion Workshop and buy me a coffee through paypal.me/xpfwshare.

OFFICIAL - IAE Engine Mod
By Attitude
If you want to support my development check out my latest work here >>>> Torquesim SR22!
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Full PBR texturing, completely animated interior, exterior and reverse animations.
THE INCLUDED TEXTURES ARE FOR THE AMERICAN AIRLINES LIVERY.
The paint kit includes several other liveries ready to be exported or edited! Have fun!!!
2k and 4k versions available
Please read the manuals.
When making a new livery with these make sure to set up the new IAE folder with textures within the new livery folder, for example:
Flight Factor A320/liveries/New Livery/objects/IAE
The installation is pretty complicated for newbies, so I included a walk through in the Manual included within the engine zip files.
A simple paint kit with manual is also included. One version for Affinity Photo users and a psd for PS users.
Without specific information from the aircraft developers on when to drive the animations, I did the best I could. There are times it is not as smooth as I would hope for.
Please enjoy this and create as many liveries as you can with these!
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

If you feel the desire to donate please use this link via paypal (<click here)
UPDATES: Please read these before continuing
Please make a duplicate of the A320 main folder and just overwrite that acf in planemaker (A320.acf) after adding the engines. Users are finding an error with two acf files in the same folder.
Make sure you set the lighting mode in Planemaker to "exterior glass" only for IAE_FAST_L.obj and IAE_FAST_R.obj

Boeing 787 MAX 10
By 787Pilot YT
Over the past week, I created the flight model of a plane that I plan to develop until it has a fully functional 3d cockpit, cabin, and animations. The project will be freeware. Every beta and alpha version will be posted with the development after testing. I wanted to even make this available for xp10 and xp9, so If anyone can help me with that, please PM me. Currently the aircraft has a 2d panel with instruments that don't work, and there are some bugs with the panel while loading. I need a working EFIS, FMS, and autopilot. I currently have only a G1000 and an unrealistic HUD. I need the G1000 to work properly, and need a better HUD. The plane has a size close to the 777, fuselage based on the 787, winglets based on the 737 MAX, and a V-tail.
In case you can't decide if you want to download this aircraft, watch the following video:

Boeing 767-300F PW4000 Model WL
This, is a Boeing 767-300ER Freighter.
Lots of people don't know the difference between the -F and the -BCF, so i'm here to explain. The -F has a larger rear cargo door, which is a lot wider than the -BCF's rear cargo door. That's the only difference. Also worth noting, the reason BCFs have small rear doors is because they were originally passenger jets, the BCF stands for boeing converted freighter. The -F comes in four versions, GE model L, GE model WL, PW model L and PW model WL. this is PW model WL

avitab Default B744 Avitab Integration
A simple integration of Avitab into the default B747-400, by Ilias Tselios.
INSTALLATION
1. Windows and Linux users: Drop the B747-400 folder into X-Plane 11/Aircraft/Laminar Research/ folder. Done!
2. Mac users:
a. Copy the Avitab.json file in the X-Plane 11/Aircraft/Laminar Research/B747-400/ folder.
b. Copy the folder "B747.Avitab" found in the B747_Avitab/Boeing B747-400/plugins/xlua/scripts/ folder into the X-Plane 11/Aircraft/Laminar Research/B747-400/plugins/xlua/scripts/ folder.
USAGE
1. With the aircraft powered up, press the ECS button on the glareshield panel. Avitab will be displayed on the lower EICAS display.
2. Create a camera shortcut (Ctrl + a number on numberpad) to records a position that you have clear view of the display.

IXEG Boeing 737-300 Classic - Canadian North
Canadian North 737-300s, originally by Veace, updated by me.
This one comes in two variants, a full passenger version, and a version that has a Combi door applied to the side of the fuselage. It's obviously just for aesthetics (and the combi door texture is by Shenherm, so thanks to him for making it/letting me use it!)
C-GCNZ is the passenger variant
C-GZCN is the combi variant. For realism, you wouldn't use the winglets on this, as they don't have them.
I've updated and fixed some little inaccuracies, such as the flags, the logo placement (for these particular airframes, where Veace had it for his registration was accurate), added fin numbers to the tail and nose gear doors, painted the winglets, added the barber pole colours to the antennae, and a couple more little things. I didn't touch the swoopy pattern by Veace, as my talent for that kind of thing pales in comparison to his.
There are some inaccuracies, such as the doors all being the same colour, and no registration under the wing, since I'm limited by the IXEG model.
I've also included an accurate Canadian North Yoke Checklist, which is the B733_nolit.png file. That one has to go in your IXEG 733 Classic/objects folder, and it will overwrite any other file in there, as well as give that checklist to every 733 in your fleet. So use at your discretion.
If there's anything else that you think could be added, PM me on the org!

Boeing 767-300BCF PW 4000
Now that all the 200 and 300 passenger variants are through, here's something new!
This is the Boeing 767-300BCF with PW 4000 engines
Just a note, the BCF is one of two cargo variants of the 767-300. The other is the 767-300F. The BCF is different in the fact that it has a regular sized rear cargo door. The 767-300F has a larger rear cargo door, which i will show you when it is released.
A few things to note about this plane:
It is VERY heavy, it has a significantly higher Payload capacity, and therefore has a tendancy to seem very overweight.
READ THIS AS I WILL NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS REGARDING THE FOLLOWING CONCERNS:
The plane may have an epileptic seizure in flight, to rectify this, turn off the artificial stability, located on the top left corner of the overhead panel

Corrected XP10 747
By aeropilot
Basically the default x-plane 10 747, but with many corrections to its animation and an overhauled flight model.
I could not stand the inaccuracies of the default XP10 747, and I have waited for quite a while for someone at Laminar to fix them. A lot of data in PlaneMaker is totally off, including the outrageously high SFC (at 0.600) which made my plane crash at the tip of Hokkaido while I flew from LAX to TPE. The animation of the slats were disgusting too. And the last wire was the fact that roll spoilers aren’t animated. So one day I woke up and decided to fix them myself. This file was uploaded onto the org a week ago, but here it is. The objects here are much more refined than the ones I uploaded on the org, with edited landing gears, wings, and horizontal stabilizers.
Includes four aircraft, one for each type of engine!
PW4056 PW4062
GE CF6-80C2B5F (higher thrust, higher SFC)
GE CF6-80C2B1F (lower thrust, lower SFC)
Here's the very long list of modifications:
Accurate SFC for PW4056, PW4062, GE CF6-80C2B1F, and GE CF6-80C2B5F. Information from http://www.jet-engin.../civtfspec.html , a complete chart of every engine out there.
The PW4056 has 56,750 lbs of thrust, with sea level SFC at 0.320 and high altitude SFC at 0.572. This is the one that is used on the default United livery.
The PW4062 has 63,300 lbs of thrust, with sea level SFC at 0.335 and high altitude SFC at 0.587
The CF6-80C2B1F has 57,160 lbs of thrust with sea level SFC at 0.316 and high altitude SFC at 0.564. Used on China Airlines, JAL, KLM, Lufthansa, Eva Air, and a bunch of others.
The CF6-80C2B5F has 62,100 lbs of thrust with sea level SFC at 0.323 and high altitude SFC at 0.571
Bypass ratio 4.9 for PW engines and 5.2 for GE engines.
[*]I learned AC3D and tilted all landing gears at the right angles.
[*]Horizontal Tail moves with trim.
[*]Radii of gyration edited.
[*]Landing gear damping edited.
[*]Flaps coefficient dropped from 2.5 to 1.2
[*]Landing gear deployment time edited.
[*]Resized outboard ailerons in flight model from 20% into 30% of chord to match real size.
[*]Outboard aileron deflection now 15 degrees down and 20 degrees up.
[*]Outboard aileron locks past 270 KIAS, just like the real thing. Now while flying at high speed roll rate is slow because you only have the inboards. This is implemented in the flight model and the wing object.
[*]Accurate engine data, different for each engine, including bypass ratio, max RPM, thrust, critical altitude, and a bunch of other tweaks.
[*]Complex spoiler and speedbrakes fully modeled in flightmodel and object. There are six speedbrakes on each wing:
[*]The outmost two (1 and 2) only act as roll spoilers in flight at 45 degrees, but acts as speedbrake at 45 degrees on ground.
[*]Spoilers 3 and 4 act both as flight and ground speedbrakes and roll spoilers at 45 degrees.
[*]Spoiler 5 act as roll spoiler and flight speedbrakes at only 20 degrees, but ground speedbrakes at 45 degrees.
[*]Spoiler 6 does not act as roll spoiler, but only speedbrakes at 20 degrees.
[*]Now the roll spoilers move visually in wing obj. Before the objects only moved with speedbrakes, not spoilers.
[*]The kruger-flaps looked retarded on the default 747 because they only opened up half way. They look less retarded now because I edited the animation and they open up fully. The kruger-flaps were not modeled correctly, so they still look some-what stupid.
[*]In the real 747, the inboard kruger flaps open at flaps 1 while the outboard at flaps 5. This is now modeled in the flight model and the object animation by editing the obj file with a text document. This took an agonizing three hours.
[*]The horizontal tail and vertical tail had too thick airfoils. I changed the vertical stabilizer to NACA 0006 and the horizontal stabilizers to NACA 64-209 inverted at the root and NACA 64-206 inverted at the tip. And I have different airfoils for the h. stab at low and high Reynolds!
[*]The winglets had thick symmetrical airfoils, but in the real thing they produce lift so they are not just wing fences, so I used NACA 64-206 airfoil.
[*]Vertical tail sweep slightly refined.
[*]Autopilot rings when approaching target altitude.
[*]Stall warning alpha raised from 10 to 15.
[*]Flap limits refined.
[*]Maximum control deflection time is 0.5 seconds.
[*]Center tank pump pressure increased so it will empty first.
[*]System numbers modified.

Make four copies of the default 747. Name each folder (after engine type):
CF6-80C2B5F
CF6-80C2B1F
PW4062
PW4056
Now, open up the download. Then open one of the subfolder (example, PW4062).
You should see 747-400 United under the PW4062 folder. Copy that and drop it into the folder named PW4062 you have created. Click yes for replace.
Copy the contents of the object folder into the objects folder inside the folder you created. Click yes for replace.
Copy the airfoil folder into the folder you have created.
Repeat these steps for other engines.
Incredible thanks to CWilliams for posting this great page: http://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?showtopic=61457.
Dedicated to Pierre Lavaux who showed me that page, and Peter Tram, and the whole of X-Plane Aviators for their support.
Thanks to Mohammad Gazzawi / Sergio Santagada / Javier Rollon for the basic 747.

Pierre Lavaux is working on the custom sounds for the next update, and Alex Reichert is working on the systems too. I would think these would be included for the next update.1,515 downloads
