Qantas Formula One 747 VH-OJC "City of Melbourne".
Repaint of default 747 as Formula One.

The actual aircraft was painted Slightly differently on both sides (F1 logo), so what you see here is really only a representation (artistic liscence). The real plane had the Qantas logo forward of the front cabin door, but the decal wont display in that position as far as I know. If anyone knows how to move the location of the decal, I would welcome the info.

Installation.


THIS WILL NOT OVERWRITE ANY EXISTING FILES

unzip the file and extract to anywhere you like.

Make a backup copy of the 747 aircraft.cfg
(C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/FS2002/Aircraft/B747_400/aircraft.cfg)


Open the aircraft.cfg in notepad, the bit we need to make it all work is the first part
and should look something like this

There may be more depending on if you have loaded extra visual models. What we need to do is copy the stuff below and insert it after the end of the section for the LAST visual model (in this case [fltsim.2]

COPY THE FOLLOWING

description=Qantas B747-400 "Formula One" VH-OJC. This aircraft 'The City of Melbourne" was painted for the F1 season when Qantas was a major sponsor of the F1. Melbourne is where the F1 race is held for the Australian leg. Repaint for FS2002 by Mike Hill.




Be sure to change the ???? in [fltsim.?????] to the next consecutive number, in this case it would be [fltsim.3]

Copy the texture folder called 'texture.q1' to the main b747_400 folder (c:/Program files/Microsoft Games/FS2002/Aircraft/B747_400) and that should be all that is needed.
