Here are the THA 747s for the late 90s - early 2000s. The 200s and 300s are HD upgrades from my original paints. 742 HS-TGD was converted to a freighter 7/97, two months after the launch of Star Alliance, so it is a guess whether it got an SA sticker before the conversion. Do what you want with it, but it's a crap shoot if the aircraft was still in revenue service at that time. I don't believe any of the THA 742s made it all the way into 1998 in THA service. 744 HS-TGO is the same deal as the A330, a decent 1200-pixel decal sheet, but blown up to match the 4096 texture. Not PMDG quality to be sure, but for AI traffic, it's good enough for jazz. Also, I found another (better) decal sheet for HS-TEK (A333 Barge), so I will be re-doing that one tonight, then everything goes to the drive by tomorrow. The Google translator and font packs really came into their own for this one, for the Thai names of the aircraft. :{)

It gets a little better.... This is the best I can do short of hand-drawing these very intricate wooden boats. Ironically, these would be more crisp on the AIA and TFS models, but this will do for HD. Six THA packages to the drive now: 747-200, 747-300, 747-400, 777-200, 777-300, and A330-300. Pretty much the main long-haul THA fleet for 1979-2001 or so. I did the MD-11s a couple of years ago, and that file is in the THA folder as well. I will go back and look at my A300 paints, as they probably need to be color-matched to current stuff, plus that wide variety of mid-90s stickers. A small note about the 742s, the Thai Cargo HD repaint is with the 742 HD package, as I originally released it as a separate file. :{)

I just uploaded my FAIB KLM fleet to the G-drive, including HD updates for the 747-200/300/400 and 767-300. This includes the early KLM Cargo 743s (-206BM(SUD)/SF) and KLM Asia 744s. All of the KLM 737 packages now have the updated textures I had to issue a service pack for the first time, lol.

Some things missed, I couldn't find them anywhere, FSPX Turkish 1994, Olympic 1999, and Austrian 1996 A340s. The THY aircraft are color-matched to the 1990s A310s from JB's website. :{)

Here are some more A340s. CCA Air China 1997 and CPA 200s and 300s with VR- registrations from 1995-1997 after which they were re-registered B-series. The CPA -200s are a update from my original FSPX A342 CPA package. Also, the CPA aircraft are color-matched to Ranmori's fleet. :{)

... and these. I didn't even know that PAL had some A342s until I was researching to paint the 343s. The 343s include both the French-serialed aircraft and the GFA leases. Also, Iberia A343s. Skyteam painted a very nice fleet for Iberia, but these are optimized for P3Dv4/5, less highlight effects since that is taken care of by dynamic lighting now. :{)

... last ones for the night. I did AUA A342s a couple of years ago, but I forgot this 1997-ish scheme in that package. :{)

... So, it appears I am taking a short halt in 1998 Austria for Chasen..... I've got to check the photos again on the heavies, as in early 1997 the EEU flag didn't appear, and by late 1997-early 1998 it was on the aircraft. :{)

Here's the rest of the Austrian fleet for Chasen's flightplans. The Strauss aircraft was a lot of fun, I went through 33 pictures of the real statue to find one with the angle I wanted. The Qualiflyer logos are really ratty for now, I am going to hand-draw that globe logo, but you can see where I am going with this. Not sure if I am going to attempt the 1999 OE-LBB (Millenium scheme), the available photos are horrible for a photo-real application. The search goes on for that one. :{)

Everything on this page of the thread has been uploaded to the drive except for VAP (for now). New airline folders are Austrian, Iberia (with my FAIB 747s, too), and Olympic. The OLY A340 was the first AI traffic OLY paint I have ever done, so it's kind of lonely in that folder, lol. The AUA A320s will be updated after I sort out the Qualiflyer logo issue, the heavies will get updated after I sort out the EEU flag thing (A313 and A343), but this will get you going.

Here's filling in some blanks for Chasen's flightplans..... BTI got Fokker 50s in 1999, and I will be doing those as well, in the same colors. :{)

Awesome!! A lot of what you've done recently now provides both FS9/FSX and P3Dv4+ native options, nice to retire some of the older paints for high res. Thank you for these. I have a lot of free time the next 2 weeks waiting to start at my new position at a new airport, so I will probably be releasing a few big flightplans that are mostly done along with some scenery and some more Chinese goodies.

There's gonna be more where these came from, I downloaded your whole 1990s FP folder, and I am going through it (alphabetically). BTI had a very cool livery back in the day when other airlines were still using 70s cheatlines, too bad they didn't stick with it instead of that sterile bile green color.
