FSX ANA Boeing 747-400 (old colors)

This repaint set offers an authentic old-color rendition of All Nippon Airways (ANA) for the Boeing 747-400 in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. It is designed by Yosuke as a free add-on and will appeal to enthusiasts seeking a nostalgic livery from one of the largest Japanese carriers. Please remember that this package modifies only textures and requires the standard 747-400 model included in the simulator’s default installation. Though the repaint has been tested carefully, it is supplied without responsibility for any unforeseen impact on hardware or software.

Historic Visual Details

The classic ANA paint scheme featured here recalls an era when the Boeing 747—often referred to by pilots as the “Queen of the Skies”—served robust passenger operations across Asia and beyond. The old-style branding on the fuselage and tail reflects a distinctive palette once synonymous with Japanese commercial aviation. Because ANA operated various 747 variants over several decades, this throwback design offers both realism and immersion. Use it for virtual flights showcasing the airline’s earlier corporate identity.

Technical Structure and Texture Setup

This skin applies directly to the standard Boeing 747-400 that ships with FSX. By integrating revised markings and surface details, it captures historical authenticity. The repaint also retains high-resolution clarity while retaining the simulator’s default mapping, helping to ensure smooth alignment across panels and fuselage sections.

Installation Guidance

• Locate your FSX “SimObjects” folder and navigate to the default B747_400 directory.
• Add the newly provided texture folder into that directory. Ensure it is placed alongside the original aircraft folders.
• Amend the aircraft configuration file with the enclosed config entries. This step references texture filenames matching the “ANA old color” version.
• Confirm that the repaint appears as an additional aircraft option in your simulator’s menu.

This add-on is entirely freeware. To complete the installation, you will need the base model, which is available in the Fly Away Simulation library under freeware offerings.
