FS2004 Singapore Airlines Boeing 747-412 9V-SPP

This freeware release features a precisely rendered Singapore Airlines Boeing 747-412 (tail number 9V-SPP), adapted for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. It replicates the famous wide-body aircraft, known for its distinctive upper-deck layout, with an extremely lifelike paint scheme. The textures exhibit meticulous details on the fuselage, wings, and engines, plus subtle wear and tear based on reference photos. The DXT3 format is utilized for crisp daytime liveries that preserve fidelity while maintaining performance. Inside, unique photoreal components—like 3D-style engine fans—add extra realism.
