This freeware repaint features a classic KLM Boeing 747SP livery, meticulously tailored for use in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. Originally devised by Mike Stone and repainted by Wes Archibald, it focuses on enhancing your long-haul virtual flights. KLM, recognized as the Royal Dutch carrier, utilized various Boeing 747 variants for extensive international routes, and this 747SP variant highlights a specialized short-fuselage design with enhanced performance for ultra-long-range service.

Technical Details of the Repaint

This download provides textures only, so it is essential to have the freeware base model (SB747SP.ZIP) previously installed. You can locate that base package in the Fly Away Simulation mod library. The base model, authored by Mike Stone, covers key flight dynamics and a meticulously shaped external model. Inside this repaint archive, a “base textures” folder supplies generic, unpainted files for those wishing to customize or modify liveries further.

Simulator Compatibility Notes

This repaint is officially developed for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. Some users have tested the aircraft in FS2002, though certain gauges (like the GPS panel) may not function correctly in that environment. Since direct individual support for FS2002 is no longer offered, keep in mind that any instrument or systems anomalies in earlier simulators will likely remain unresolved.

Installation Procedure

  1. Extract this package to a temporary location on your system.
  2. Open the newly created folder and copy the full b747sp folder into your Flight Simulator 9/aircraft directory.
  3. Launch Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 and look for the KLM Boeing 747SP entry in your aircraft selection menu.

Support and Usage

The files included are provided as is, and any potential adjustments or fixes remain at the discretion of the repaint creator, Wes Archibald. If the repaint suits your needs, feel free to fly it without restriction. No further variants or extra modifications will be made upon request, so please consider this final. Should you find any conflicts or incompatibilities, you may either accept the limitations or remove the repaint from your setup entirely.
