This complete Boeing 747-200F package showcases a distinctive Ireland Direct scheme originating from Dublin, and it is fully compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. From their primary hub, this virtual airline operates multiple routes across international cargo networks, all while retaining a striking Irish-inspired identity. Developed collaboratively by longtime virtual aviation creatives, the concept and core livery were shaped by Daniel Counahan and the repaint was completed by Michael Pearson.
Technical Composition of the Aircraft
Based on Project Opensky’s full-feature 747-200F model, this rendition includes extensive animations, from fully operational control surfaces to interactive landing gear mechanisms. The leading-edge devices (or LE devices) are simulated accurately, and the dynamic lighting system brings precise nighttime illumination around the cockpit windows and exterior contours.
Cargo-Focused Features
- Dedicated Cargo Holds: Tailored interior and cargo bay configurations are designed to reflect realistic freight loading operations.
- Robust Flight Dynamics: Engine performance and weight-and-balance tuning ensure that this long-haul freighter handles with plausible heaviness and stability.
- Fuselage Detailing: Textures capture rivet lines and panel separations that add subtle realism, taking advantage of the model’s high-resolution mapping.
Ireland Direct Livery Highlights
The paint scheme depicts vibrant national colors and branding references that highlight the airline’s roots in Dublin. Wing surfaces, tail fin iconography, and fuselage lettering uphold the airline’s coherent identity. Pilots who appreciate detailed, visually appealing designs will notice consistent color application throughout the frame.
