It would be extremely hard to cover all aspects of the FlightFactor 767-300 in just one review but we’ll cover some key elements this product has to offer. Externally the leading edge and trailing edge is excellent, which is fully detailed and animated. The undercarriage design is very complex and very astonishing. Once the gear is down from a close inspection of the outside you will get every pipe, nut, and bolt. The overall external design is excellent, the engines are modeled exactly like the real engines (depending on which variant you choose for example if you choose P&W Engines then they will look like P&W Engines). The gear which we have already gone through is fully modeled. The flaps and spoilers are modeled exactly like a real 763. Almost every single aspect was covered. The way that the gear compresses and the wheels touch on the tarmac and the hydraulic piping will move to the gear movement. The cockpit experience is spectacular. If you already own the FlightFactor 757 then you will be pretty familiar with this aircraft already. From a pilot's instrument perspective this is not a very confusing aircraft at all. The Autopilot is a standard feature for Boeing aircraft so if you have flown any other Boeing flight decks then you should be familiar with the layout. Just like the exterior the interior was completely modeled as well. Almost every aspect was again thought of. The overhead panel was completely laid out exactly like the real 767-300 aircraft. The fully working FMC is a replica of the real world 763’s FMC, and throttles are designed to look like a 763’s throttles, Every button, switch, and a knob is placed where it would be in the real aircraft. There are ground services that you can choose you can load and unload the aircraft via its IPad. You can either go to Plugins>763> then find it there or you can just click on the IPad near where your left knee would be. With this IPad, you can choose ground services, payload, System Failures, PA system, and Settings. The sounds on the FlightFactor 767-300 are bewildering. The sounds sound exactly like the real 767-300, the roar of the engines to the slow engine start again almost every sounds was recorded. Overall the FlightFactor 767 300 is an excellent aircraft again definitely worth its Money.
