FSX / P3D Repaint for Payware Model

FSX United Airlines Boeing 747-8

United Airlines post-merger livery textures bring a fictional Boeing 747-8 to life with crisp exterior detailing based on the official paint kit, tailored for the PMDG 747-8 Expansion Pack in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. The package matches United markings and registration for an authentic heavy-jet ramp presence and airline-style immersion.

Repaint — payware base required

These textures are for the payware PMDG B747-8 Expansion Pack. They depict the PMDG 747-8 in the post-merger United Airlines livery, which is fictional because United does not operate the 747-8. They were created using the official PMDG paint kit. By Matt Smith.

  3. Update aircraft.cfg

    Open the base aircraft.cfg in Notepad. Add a new [fltsim.X] section per the readme.
  4. Always read the included readme
