FSX / P3D Repaint for Payware Model

FSX American Airlines Boeing 747 V2

American Airlines 2013 livery textures bring a polished, fictional look to the PMDG Boeing 747-400 and 747-8 in FSX, with corrected markings and a crisp 2048x2048 high-definition finish on the -400. Includes all three -400 engine variants in one texture set and uses the official paint kit; requires the payware PMDG 747 package.

Repaint — payware base required

These textures are for the payware PMDG B747-400 and 747-8 expansion pack. They depict the PMDG 747s in the 2013 American Airlines livery, which is fictional because American does not operate either 747. Several corrections were made to the first version and the -400 model is now in high definition (2048x2048). They were created using the official PMDG paint kits, and all three engine choices are included in one texture folder for the -400 model. By Matt Smith.
