This is a repaint of the Project Open Sky (POSKY)fabulous Boeing 747-200 with PW engines in the hybrid livery of
the Continental/PEOPLExpress. Quite a classic livery on a Classic Jumbo of those good old days!The model which suits
this aircraft (if you have downloaded the 742PW paintkit package with alot of .mdl's and are not sure to use which one) is
POSKY742PJT9A12B234.mdl.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION:
Unzip the folder to your Posky 747-200PW one in the FS aircraft folder. Now open the aircraft.cfg file using the
Windows notepad/wordpad/etc. and add the following lines to it after the available [fltsim.n] entries. N indicates the number
of the very aircraft you are going to add (for example if you have 2 other repaints already installed in this folder
you should have the [fltsim.0] and [fltsim.1] in your aircraft.cfg so this one representing the Northwest should be
numbered [fltsim.3].
IMPORTANT NOTE :
If you are using different models for your 742 (combi, passenger, freighter) you should specify them here in front of the
model= if you do wish to have certain doors (pax/cargo) open but if you do not care about it you can left it clear (as I
wrote above this repaint is based on the POSKY742PJT9A12B234.mdl but it doesn't indicate that it doesn't work with YOUR
posky model. In simple terms you might open a wrong door/exit instead of the one designed to be opened by the stewardess!!!
(if you have downloaded the paintkit package from http://www.projectopensky.com the required model is located at the fo;;owing place :
X:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9\Aircraft\os742v3pkpw\PW742 MDL\PW742P (where X stands for your drive letter)

ANOTHER NOTE :
In order to reduce the size of the zipped file, I have excluded the night textures so you should/can copy them from other 742PW
repaints to this folder if you wish to fly at nights (night textures all end in "_l" for example posky742_doors_l.bmp).
That's all. Now run your MSFS and look for Boeing 747-200 under the manufacturer Boeing (you can change the manufacturer from Boeing
to for example Project Open Sky by changing the line "ui_manufacturer=Boeing" in your aircraft.cfg file. Now go and enjoy
flying in your Classic Jumbo with a classic livery!!
Good Luck and Thank You...@;)
