January 5, 20179 yr On the iFly 747. Oooh all that red! My favorite of all the ACA liveries. Hope my Canadian fellow simmers will enjoy taking some nostalgic flights with her. A few more things to finish and I'll upload her, and KLM (She's done too). Don't mind the ugly red mottling, its an artifact issue of the JPG compression algorithm, it really looks great in the sim. :wink: Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here
January 5, 20179 yr That brought back memories! Thanks. Joel Murray @ CYVR (actually, somewhere about halfway between CYNJ and CZBB)
January 5, 20179 yr Another awesome paint! Now that I have the iFly bird, I'll look forward to trying it out.
January 6, 20179 yr Author Thanks guys! She's a beauty...I have a real attraction to cheat lines...so sad I can't accurately throw Pan Am and TWA on her. :mellow: I just uploaded her to the Flight1 library...she'll be in the next upload cycle there. KLM will be next Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here
January 7, 20179 yr Author I love it. Also my favourite AC livery. I'm hoping to see it on the PMDG version Good news Richard....the PMDG 747 is going to release with this livery! So I don't have to worry about moving my textures to her. Here is the post that Kyle announced it on: http://www.avsim.com/topic/500211-official-pmdg-747-400-queen-of-the-skies-ii-livery-list/?p=3542905 Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here

January 7, 20179 yr Author Here are 3 close ups of the finished version: I started out with a drawing over a photo for the tail, but didn't like the results so I redrew it by hand...I think the Maple Leaf looks much better now. The winglets were not hard to paint...unlike the ones for Air Pacific! Very basic, classy lines....no wonder I like her. The Air Canada is just a tweak of your standard Ariel font....didn't take too long to do. I put some dirt on the tail and around the side cargo door (she's a combi) to give her that "in service" look. The red color always gets mottled with the jpeg compression. But trust me it looks fine on the model. Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here
January 7, 20179 yr Amazing stuff!!! Your right too. It's a great model!!! Off to fly my 2nd flight on it.
January 7, 20179 yr Author If we talk nostalgia, for me it's "Canadian Pacific"... Hey Carlos, Kyle mentioned that they already painted C-GMWW. I asked him if it was the goose or red chevron version but he hasn't answered yet. I'll probably paint the one they don't do. I have a lot of Canadian simming friends. :wink: If you're referring to the orange CP Air, I don't think they ever flew the -400. I really liked that livery too though! Amazing stuff!!! Your right too. It's a great model!!! Off to fly my 2nd flight on it. I'm glad you're enjoying her! :smile: Regards, Steve DraGet my paints for MSFS planes at flightsim.to here, and iFly 737s hereDownload my FSX, P3D paints at Avsim by clicking here
