This comprehensive freeware package brings together a fully operational Boeing 747-400 model, upgraded with a fresh paint scheme provided by Al Nel and streamlined installation courtesy of Vic Ayres. It is engineered for Microsoft Flight Simulator X and carries the hallmark workmanship of Project Open Sky. The aircraft reflects the philosophy of Platinum Airways, a flexible “Open Skies” virtual airline that encourages its members to select any route, aircraft, and schedule they prefer.

Refined Model and Enhanced Texture Set

The B747-400, renowned for its broad wingspan and distinctive hump on the upper deck, is presented here with a meticulously reworked exterior. This variant integrates highly detailed surface textures, delivering a rendition of the iconic wide-body jet that stands out in both close-up views and panoramic flybys. By retaining the core geometry originally devised by Project Open Sky, the package ensures an authentic flight envelope and precise operational parameters.

Aesthetic Updates and Profile

Within this release, the updated aircraft sports Platinum Airways’ latest visual identity. The custom paint job by Al Nel features subtle accents along the fuselage, vibrant engine nacelles, and accurately placed markings. These details help highlight the extensive vertical stabilizer and offer improved visibility of the airline’s branding during approach and departure. The flight deck retains vital instrumentation while complementing the distinct cabin configuration typical of the Boeing 747 family.
