About This File

Thanks for downloading the American Airlines New Livery Pack. There are quite a few planes included here and an awful lot of dependencies required, so thanks for your patience in looking for them all – your experience with this add-on will be much better for it.

Firstly, a great big thank you to the original authors who graciously gave their permission for me to use their model files; in this case, Camil Valiquette, Eric Cantu and Albert Bouwman.

 

Thanks also to Josh6 and Fox who play tested these and other lots to help ensure that you receive high quality content. Apologies for the lack of nightlighting as it’s a skill that continues to elude me. (Perhaps someone out there with the talent and time would be willing to team up at some point to get this done or teach me how?)

 

Place the extracted file in your plugins folder. There is also a nested .zip file called “Generic Plane Dependencies” which is contains a number of required files; a custom query and several new props. The reason it’s nested is that it’s included with each of the 4 Megapack files (American Airlines, Boeing, A320 and A330) but only one instance is needed. IT’S UP TO YOU TO ENSURE YOU HAVE EXTRACTED THE FILE IF YOU WANT THIS DOWNLOAD TO WORK PROPERLY!

 

Included in the download are a selection of American Airlines passenger jets with the new livery. All are lotted with dark ramp textures and will appear in the Airport menu.

·         Boeing 737-800

·         Boeing 757-200 Diagonal (also included is a fractional angle model)

·         Boeing 757-200 Apron Parking

·         Boeing 777-300ER

·         Boeing 787-8

·         Boeing 787-8 Diagonal (sketchy version due to lack of available diagonal textures)

 

 

THE DEPENDENCIES

 

They are many. If you stayed up to date with AC Team and SCAG releases, the battle is mostly won already. BriPizza also has a few and I have a couple of surprises as well, even though they’re quite minor and basic.

Generic Plane Dependencies is an included collection of files that contains a custom query .dat and a collection of new pushback tugs and a fuel bowser. Thanks goes once again to Camil Valiquette for the ground handling equipment several of these are based upon.

 

The lots will appear near the top of the airports menu and sorted from smallest to largest. Each lot has a cost based on real-world value so a Boeing 737-700 that costs USD $70.9 million will cost $7090 in game. Most of the planes generate a small monthly income except for any parked on an apron. Since they are essentially not in service, these will incur a moderate monthly cost.

I've been wondering why no one else has released a set of AA jets in the new livery! I've seen a couple of 777's in the new livery and I thought to myself that the new livery would look great alongside the jets with the old colors. This is a superb expansion for the American terminals in my city, thank you very much!

I fell in love the minute I saw it. I posted over at sc4devotion a request for this, and I think you kinda read my mind. My only "thing" is that for some reason, the cockpit's glass for the 777 is a little too dark compared to the one you did with the 737.. any reason why?

 

Anyways, I love it, its a great upload, and Im rating it 5/5

Yep. It was a problem with the model. If I can sort it out soon I will likely post a patch for it at some point. Unfortunately it also affected the 3 777's in the Boeing Family upload too.

 

why so many dependances

They're the best of the available props and help to make these the best quality uploads I was capable of.

Great job with this pack! Glad to be able to update my airports with the latest liveries. Just wish the 767 was included with this. :D
