777 Freighter Expansion
This brand new expansion has been in the works for a couple of months. The developer previewed this expansion back in December 2024. Multiple teasers of this expansion have been released during the last few months on the developer’s social media. On the 12th of November, FlightFactor released a post on their social media announcing the release date and price for the 777 Freighter. They also teased the new engine releasing with the Freighter expansion: the GE110B1L.
The add-on was released via the X-Plane.org Store. It requires that the 777v2 Base add-on be installed in the simulator. The expansion not only adds the Freighter variant, but also new features alongside this add-on. All aircraft systems exclusive to the freighter were added with new aerodynamics. New cargo loading animations and ground equipment have been added, with three special liveries included.
One of the newest and biggest features added to this freighter aircraft is the taxi and cargo camera. This feature was just added in the new version 2.3.3 update and is exclusive to the freighter. Alongside this addition, FlightFactor has been updating this expansion and the base 777v2. Multiple fixes were implemented in these latest updates.
The 777v2 Freighter Expansion is now available for $30 USD. The freighter expansion is exclusive to X-Plane 12. You can acquire the complete 777 v2 add-on with this expansion and the engine expansion in this bundle. FlightFactor is still working on improving the 777v2.
