FSX British Airways Boeing 747-400

British Airways Boeing 747-400 “World Tails” repaints bring Blue Poole, Benyhone, Colum, and the modern Union Flag scheme to the default jumbo in Microsoft Flight Simulator X, with carefully tailored textures for a cohesive look in the virtual cockpit and exterior views. Requires the default FSX 747-400.

FSX British Airways Boeing 747-400. BA 'World Tails' liveries for the default B747-400, including the Blue Poole, Benyhone and Colum textures as well as the now current Union Flag. They are not totally authentic, the main reason being that the FSX B747 has GE engines while BA always uses engines from Rolls Royce. Also, the default textures are too small to include all the proper markings. By Roger Mole.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D aircraft

  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. Copy aircraft files into SimObjects

    Place the aircraft folder inside FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\. The folder must contain an aircraft.cfg file. Effects go into FSX\Effects\; gauges go into FSX\Gauges\.

  3. Verify in FSX

    Launch FSX, go to Free Flight → Select Aircraft and find your new aircraft under its manufacturer.

  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.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.

    I'm only downloading this because British Airways are getting rid of their 747s.

    Hello.

    I have downloaded this file but can't seem to get it to show on the FSX Steam. Can you help me with a step by step run through?

    I have followed the step by step guide but it won't let me copy the "common files" into the other folders.

    Can you help me?

    Texture is beautifull except the cockpit of the plane is not showing. Turkish Boeing 737-800.

    Best site ever for downloading addons and aircraft for FSX. Loving this game - as a real pilot I'm having fun flying things I'm not accustomed to flying and going places I've never been.
