Known Issues
General
Liveries need to be updated by the livery devs to support the new engine animations and freighter model - Or do it youself using the ReadMe
Freighter Model:
- Rivets/panels do not match default model appearance, 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.
- Fuselage Normals dont show correctly
- Performance issues for some users resulting in poor FPS. Unsure what's causing it but have confimred it isn't LOD related.
BBJ Model:
- Some users may experience FPS drops.
- Fictional Livery

From Bingoro:
Step 1:
Download your 747-8F or 747-8BBJ Livery - I love the Freighter Liveries by Death Actual, but another guy by the name of Marcioart121BR has a few more liveries available.
Step 2:
Go to the aircraft.cfg and change:
base_container = "..\SALTY_B747_8i"
to:
base_container = "..\SALTY_B747_8f"
Or for BBJ:
base_container = "..\SALTY_B747_8_BBJ"
Step 3:
Save the new aircraft.cfg

Also, are you saying that the liveries specifically for this mod exist on flightsim.to and that through randomly entering search parameters we may or may not be able to find them? Someplace else on the web? Can you or someone who's found them at least give the rest of us a hint?
Also, my discord invite keeps getting denied so no help there. Perhaps one of the 77 people that "hearted" this mod could enlighten those of us that are struggling?
Also, also, I appreciate that the HS folks do this for free but you can't get mad when your work is given a bad review for something as legitimate as a lack of answers. If you put it out there, you need to be prepared to support it whether you provide it out of the kindness of your heart or for money.
Two stars until I get a read me and can actually find liveries and test fly this beast.

Is this still being worked on or has the project been abandoned?
10 months ago
All mods that you see on our page are being worked on. However the parts that are being worked on require a lot of back and forth between our devs and our QAs, hence why the updates not being as regular as they were in the past.

Does this version support automatically switching fuel pumps on long journeys so that the engines do not overflow?
10 months ago
That wasn't part of the Salty version that we have pulled with our last update to this mod at least not as far as I remember.
We will see if that's a feature that we can implement at some point, however first things first we need to make sure that the mod is completely separated from Salty in the first place and that there's no interference between the two (if there's any)

Hi, maybe im stupid, but how do i change from 747-8i to 747-8F in the CDU ? or is it just the airframe that changes ?
10 months ago
Within the MSFS UI you should have three different aircraft appearing.
747-8I, 747-8F, and a 747-8 BBJ. In order to use the freighter variant you need to load that from the UI within MSFS and start your flight with that. :)
