No additional gauges or effects are required, simplifying installation and ensuring a smooth integration into your simulator.

Cargo Adaptation of the 747-400

The Boeing 747-400 has a long history of high-capacity hauling, so it stands out among wide-body freighters for its performance capabilities. In this Arizona Virtual Airlines livery, enthusiasts can immerse themselves in simulated cargo duties, taking advantage of the aircraft’s substantial payload potential. The warm hues and branding capture the spirit of southwestern operations while retaining the signature appearance of a true cargo carrier.

Texturing by Mark Rooks (RDG Aircraft)

This custom paint scheme utilizes high-resolution textures designed by Mark “Fire Ball” Rooks of RDG Aircraft. The artwork captures the emblem and color accents of Arizona Virtual Airlines, allowing sim pilots to appreciate each detail during close inspection. The developer also emphasizes the importance of philanthropic operations, so remember to “Support a Mercy Flight near you.”

Installation Process

Before proceeding, you will need the default 747-400 base model, which can be found in the Fly Away Simulation library if needed. Once you have confirmed that the original Microsoft Flight Simulator X aircraft files are available, follow the steps below:

  1. Unzip: Extract the downloaded package to any temporary directory of your choice.
  2. Locate Folder: Copy the uncompressed folder labeled “Arizona Air Cargo 747 -400” to your main aircraft folder, typically found at: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes.
  3. Confirm File Structure: Once installed, ensure the aircraft folder contains six key items: aircraft.cfg, .air file, model folder, sound folder, panel folder, and texture folder.

Additional Notes

No extra configuration is necessary. Since this repaint uses the default cockpit and systems, there is no need for separate gauges or effects. Make sure you have backed up any original files before proceeding, as a precaution.

All credit belongs to Mark Rooks (RDG Aircraft) for creating and updating these textures. Enjoy your newly repainted Arizona Virtual Airlines 747-400, and remember to keep supporting those who rely on mercy flights.
