    747-8F House Livery [Salty] - Image 1

    Description

    Boeing 747-8F N747EX

    This is a default 747 with a modifed fuselage to match the freighter variant. The nose door and aft cargo door are just decals and do not function. 

    Known issues.
       -Rivets/panels do not match default model appearance, I had to modify them to fit the new fuselage and am unable to export them in       a way that makes them behave the same as the default. 
       - "JW" on nose gear doors does not match original aircaft. I used the closest font I could find. 
       -Tail number color is incorrect. The game renders the hex color for tail numbers lighter than it should be. GG asobo.  
       - some users may experience large FPS drops. Unsure whats causing it but it's not LOD related. 
      
    If you notice any bugs please bring them to my attention.

    The paintwork looks very nice
    and is a great upgrade for the plane.

    It is compatible with SU12,

    thanks for that

    After flying for several hours, it looks like it's compatible with SU 10/ Salty. It was compatible with everything I could think of, though I am using the last dev before the autoloader for Salty was implemented. The one thing I would urge, since this is a Salty specific livery, is to implement the engine automation for startup and shutdown. It takes a couple minutes to do, but it's worth it.

    I like the Boeing house livery and will use it until I have the time to figure out a paint kit for my own logo.

    Besides the engine mirroring, the only other problem I see is that every Salty 747 Livery says "747-8F N747EX" now. Also suggestion: you should make this a separate aircraft instead of a separate livery.

    Thank you for this realistic modeling of the 748 freight. Just minor, the GE logo on the engines are mirrored.

    Incredible!!! Could you make this work/ appear as an individual aircraft to make it easier to manage with liveries in the future?

    IMO it should stay the same to make it a little easier to be compatible with the Salty mod.


    Choosing a freight livery would be easier than choosing a whole other aircraft and having it installed. Save on space too!

    This is a game changer, especially with it being seamless to Salty -- you never disappoint! Thank you so much -- hope to see more 748F paints soon! 🙏

    Edit: Small issue I observed, I am getting an old issue where the tires (both main and nose) generate smoke during taxi and take-off roll -- I heard it was an issue present due to SU5 and it is livery-specific. IIRC it's to do with the model folder having the newer 747_8I.xml, which references to a separate 747_8I_FX.xml to handle fx (incl. tire contact).


    Other than that, works great so far!

    Thanks for the info, I'll look into fixing the xml stuff when I get a chance.

    Did you modify the original model using Blender? It looks excellent.
