Hi,

I planned on painting the SIA 742.

I am having a problem: I can't make out what it says on the rear of the plane where "Boeing 747 Super - ?" is written. Is it B for Boeing or 8 or what? Does anyone know? This is the best picture I could find...

The text is "Boeing 747 Super-B". (I don't know what it means, though... Probably has something to do with the type of engines.) Kind regards! Michael

It's like how American calls all of their MD-8x aircraft "Super 80" - it's just a gimmick.

bensplanes: Anyone here have experience with the Leonardo MD80 in P3D V5? Would like to pick it up, but the 8gb VRAM minimum makes me nervous running it alongside AI traffic and complex airports. Feb 13, 2024 16:06:55 GMT -5

fernbe: Since many people are requesting the base models for TCAI Russian AI aircraft, I've created an file on my Drive to host any missing AI model or textures for retro traffic: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1y7_a6JKARXLgypSSsn-p9Fe5PeSm9NQC Feb 25, 2024 18:00:39 GMT -5

joscyriacv2: Darren you have any idea if they got a whole package like with timetables and aircraft like how they have it there at CalClassic? Mar 16, 2024 12:25:13 GMT -5
