Project Opensky has released the 767-400 version 4.
I've had a quick chance to test it briefly. I think the looks are impressive, it looks stunning. Now I'm not an expert on 767's, but if the 764 is anything like the 763's I see every day, then this thing seems quite a bit too cumbersome and slow handling.
I see 767-300's flying at low altitude on landing approach doing turns and they seem a bit more responsive than this, with more ability to bank a bit more quickly from one direction to the other.
Anyhow it is available from the project opensky website at:

Although my thoughts could be somewhat perhaps because I'm so used of the quite agile and responsive Concorde, but it just didn't seem to handle like what I've seen many Qantas 767-338's do in similar situations (and I do watch them carefully as they are on landing approach).
