Expect reflective metal bodywork, transparent cockpit with crew, opening forward passenger door, two 2D panels plus a virtual cockpit, and full night lighting for classic 1962–1974 jetliner operations.

An updated repaint of Rey Lopez' lovely Convair 880 in Cathay Pacific livery as VR-HZA, together with a paint of VR-HFT in the earlier Cathay colours. This aircraft, designed in FSDS2, has reflective bodywork with metal underbelly, wings and engines, transparent cockpit with pilots, opening forward passenger door, two 2D cockpits (jumpseat and captain), a virtual cockpit and night lighting. Cathay Pacific operated the CV-880 between 1962 and 1974, having eight in the fleet at one time. These repaints, by kind permission of Rey Lopez, are by Mark Beaumont. This download supersedes the earlier file CXCV880G.ZIP which may be discarded or safely overwritten.

How to install this mod

flight simulator add-on
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
  2. Identify the target folder

    Different simulators use different folder structures. Check the readme to confirm where files should be placed.
  3. Copy files to the correct location

    Drag the extracted folder into the location the readme specifies. Most add-ons just need to be in the right folder.
  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.

    First timer at this site and would like to visit again. I am looking for an add-on to make the boat off San Diego, San Francisco and Hawaii in FS 2002 landable. Contact me at the above e mail

    Thank you
