    This is a repaint for the amazing SkySpirit 747-8i Series II. It includes the base model, high-quality textures, a VC, and custom ground service vehicles. Canadian Airlines never flew the 747-8i, as by the time the company was absorbed by Air Canada in 1999 the aircraft did not exist. The largest aircraft flown by Canadian Airlines was the Boeing 747-427. However, in our new universe, Canadian Airlines has taken delivery of one single Boeing 747-8i, available to fly any route of your choice. It flies under the registration C-FCDN and the tail number 848. The Rhys T. Eyton Memorial 747-8i Canadian Airlines named all of their 747's, and this one is no different. Like the real-life 747-427 flown under registration C-FGHZ, this aircraft honors the late Rhys T. Eyton, Canadian Airlines CEO between 1989 and 1995. Rhys was a pioneer in Canadian Aviation. He passed away in 2023. Livery Info Upon its founding in 1987, Canadian Airlines revealed its new livery using the colours light grey, dark grey, navy blue, and red. The paint scheme was an adaptation of the recently introduced livery from its predecessor Canadian Pacific Airlines. The lower half of the aircraft's body was navy blue, topped with light grey and red stripes, while the tail was blue, with approximately one-third taken up by the carrier's new logo. The new Canadian Airlines logo was a combination of Canadian Pacific's five grey stripes, representing the five continents served by the carrier. Over these stripes was a thick, bright red chevron. The chevron was a simplification of the Pacific Western Airlines logo. The chevron was placed over the stripes, which then represented "Wings over 5 continents". It was also an ingenious and subtle way to represent the takeover of CP by PWA. The same logo, in a square form, became a clever alternative to a true bilingual name on the fuselage replacing the French "e", and the third "a" in English (Canadian/Canadien).

    This is a repaint for Project Airbus' Airbus A380 in a fictional Air Canada 2017 livery. Includes base model, high-quality textures, and updated VC. Air Canada never flew the A380, opting for the more economical Boeing 777 family for its high-density, long-haul routes. This is for several reasons, including a relatively lower population in Canadian passenger hubs, the phasing out of quad-engine aircraft, and lower international customer demand, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. However, in our new universe, Air Canada has taken delivery of one single Airbus A380, available to fly any route of your choice. It flies under the fictional registration C-FJAB and the tail number 801.
  4. Thanks, Tim & Wim! I can remember doing something like that ages ago with another panel but forgot about zorder. It was driving me crazy! The panel I downloaded didn't have a "zorder=" so I had nothing to jog my memory. The panel is fixed. I just put my main panel as zorder=00. Calm skies, Julian **EDIT** For anyone having the same issue, remember to have 2 numbers in the "zorder=nn" field. For example "zorder=00" or "zorder=01" are correct. "zorder=0" or "zorder=1" would be incorrect.
  5. I'm having an issue with a few planes where windows I bring up (GPS, throttle quadrant, etc.) fall behind the main panel when I click on it. When I remove the main 2d panel, the GPS windows are behind it. Does anyone know how to make sure the windows don't fall behind the panel??
  6. I hate to resurrect this old thread but I've been having this issue for days and have finally found a fix that worked for me. It was so simple, I almost kicked myself. My new instal of FSX wasn't running in Compatibility Mode. Soon as I changed it to Windows XP (Service Pack 2) my mouse wheel started working as normal to zoom and use knobs and switches. I just let the Compatibility Mode wizard do it's thing, and that's the one it picked. I'd reccomend litting your wizard do the same as your setting might be different with your computer.
  7. Awesome work and it looks great. I am here all the time and it's really accurate.
