This is a complete texture set to display the 747SP with Rolls Royce RB211 engines in the 1980s-1990s livery of Cathay Pacific. The airline did not operate the type in the real world. The registration VR-HKG was worn by one of Cathay's 747-200 aircraft in fleet service- which I have also painted and released.
The aircraft textures are created from scratch by the author using the POSKY public paintkit. The cargo handling equipment is not part of the original paintkit, but is a repaint of textures produced by POSKY authors. The author reserves copyright on their modification and use.They are distributed as freeware and may not be used in whole or in part as part of another paint project without permission from the author. They may not be sold or used in any way as part of a payware package or profit-making enterprise. Note that copyright of the original POSKY authors extends over all elements that originate from the paint kit.
Many thanks to the dedicated POSKY team, whose efforts in creating the aircraft and public paintkit have enabled users to fill the virtual sky with versions of this grand old type, which is sadly disappearing in the real world.
Thanks (as always), to the POSKY forum members for hints and suggestions for improvements during the development of the paint project. Thanks to Christopher Hill for the Cathay Pacific logo.
These textures have been developed using FS2004 and have not been tested with FSX.
Please feel free to drop-me an e-mail to let me know if you like the textures- or indeed if you don't- and please say why.

***********WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RE-RELEASE AND WHY************
The previous release of this paint was textures-only, with instructions to add them to a white-tail 747SP base model from POSKY. That base model is no longer available on their site, so here the entire aircraft is available making the procedure more simple for users that don't want to construct an aircraft from downloaded elements.
The textures themselves have been adjusted and tidied-up a little; the wing undersides have been re-worked to make them appear more realistic in varying lighting conditions and the cargo handling equipment has been painted in a representation of a real-world cargo handling company. I've added a subtle shade layer to the main fuselage paint to give the appearance of reflected light, but this is deliberately not overdone to make it look highly polished.
I hope you enjoy this addition to Cathay's long-haul virtual fleet.
