Hi all
Thanks for the very nice feedback and the liveries suggestions. That's a very long list though and so I will need to prioritise along the following rules :
1. Is there a traffic file in FGData? so the aircraft actually shows up in Flightgear (even if it needs an adjustment of the existing traffic.xml)
> This eliminates Atlas, Asiana, Cargolux, El Al, Wamos, Orient Thai, Corsair, Iraqi, Max, Kabo, Flynas, Conviasa. NOTE: If you are currently working on one of these traffic files, drop me a line
2. Will the aircraft continue to appear once the traffic files are updated (the airline still has at least one 747-400 and it is active/used in scheduled flights, not stored (I use airfleets.net as reference)
> This eliminates Air France, JAL, Aerolineas and Namibia
3. The largest 747 fleet goes first
This gives us the following ordered list for liveries I will be preparing: British Airways, Korean Air, China Airlines, KLM, United, Lufthansa, Cathay Pacific, Thai, Qantas, EVA, Delta,
Singapore, Virgin Atlantic, Air China, Saudi Arabian, Air India, Malaysia, Garuda, Royal Air Maroc
Please remember there is no point in having an AI aircraft built or a livery designed if you have no traffic file to call it (or no groundnet to park it),we should aim at improving the FG experience for as many users as possible
The zipped ac model, its XMLs and the Paintkit PNGs in high Res (so you can paint your own livery if you want to) are available for download from

Please note the model is still beta, I have not added the Animated Jetways code and I need to rework the nose/upper deck slightly
Cheers
Ian
