The source packages include original geometry, textures, author notices, animation definitions, conversion scripts and a reproduction guide. ORBIT’s modifications (18 September 2026) assemble the exterior in a gear-up configuration, remove simulator light-effect planes, apply neutral paint, normalize the coordinate system, combine mesh batches, and generate glTF assets and matching thumbnails. Derived model assets retain their respective GPL version; conversion scripts use GPL version 2. All are provided without warranty.

These are detailed community visual models, not manufacturer-certified replicas. Automatic selection matches supported reported subtypes; airline-specific paint, engine fit and winglet options are not inferred from that code. The standard fallback marker is an original ORBIT illustration.
