For the past few days, our house has been buzzed directly overhead by a 767-200 (or rather a KC-46 tanker) at 2,300 Ft altitude and nearly 300 mph (DASH56 on FlightAware if interested in today’s flight, we live about midway between Milwaukee and Green Bay near KSBM).

A very cool thing to witness, and I managed to get it on video both times! (Though it probably means the end is coming soon for the KC-135s parked at Milwaukee).

In any case, I think a 767 would be marvelous, but haven’t heard of anyone developing one?

The KC-46 would be a nice expansion if someone did the 767-200.

I’ve had the pleasure of riding on one Delta 767-200 and many United and Shanghai Airlines 767-300s and found them to be very comfortable planes as most of the width was dedicated to aisles, and the freighter version is still very popular.

Just general musings after the latest flyover at Cessna altitudes and hearing those engines. 😂

I think it’s next in line for Bluebird simulations after the 757, although probably not before 2030 if it takes a similar development path to their 757

It is surprising giving the fact the 767 is still being produced today, 45 years after first flight.

The ones by flight factor in. X-plane are the only good ones available. I still enjoy the 757 on the rare occasion I feel like flying airliners. Systems are great tho graphics are somewhat dated.

There is, IIRC, a Captain Sim 767, and C-46 available for MSFS, too. But those are the controversial “basic” builds.

OTOH, the nice thing about CS is they do actually make good models - they just can’t do systems any more.

Speaking of mil jets, I’ve got to get back to my BBS C-130J. 😎

A buddy who got the CS 767 said it has unfortunate characteristics like faulty aileron modeling and other 'basics' wrong

I can only speak for me but the sooner the 767 vanishes from the sky the better.

I live near one of Germany's two freight Hubs and the low frequency bass rumble of the 767 freight machines is the worst.

It will give you night terrors.

I can't imagine not liking the sound of jets and being a flight sim dude. Worst sound I ever lived next to was a train line.

Our very first (new construction) house was on the final approach path to the longest runway at KRFD Rockford, IL and I didn’t realize this until our first night there with winds from the southwest as UPS DC-8s and 727s (both re-engined) and 757 and 767s landed overhead. For whatever reason I don’t remember them departing overhead and sadly rarely saw such landings during the day, but I loved watching them at night from our bathroom window. One morning before work an ATA L-1011 sailed overhead, and I still have the snapshot of our house from the Mesaba Saab 340 I was riding in. For an “APICS” tour we were driven around the UPS ramp at night which was also a treat. I believe KRFD has only become much busier for both freight and passengers since we left.

See I’m a plane AND train nerd so I’m good either way 😀

Maybe not right next to one though.

I’ve always had a soft spot for the 767, I remember flying on one as a kid in the 80s when they were new to Air Canada (would have been a -200), so spacious for the time! I loved the Level D 767 and would love even more to see one in MSFS.

I was wondering how this thread could possibly be proceeding without mention of one of the all time greatest airliner addons for FS8, FS9 and FSX. It was stunning in it's time.

Remember when the LevelD 767 was the go to 767 in the day

I like trains a little also. But it was a freight train. So tons of honking and screeching at 2AM

There is a time for everything.

I like the rumble at day, but not in the middle of the night.

I'm glad newer generation aircraft get quieter.

They did mention that the 767 development cycle will be shorter as the 757 shares a lot of similar systems, but time will tell I guess.

Flight Factor 767 is rather OK
