| This is a set of three liveries representing N806FT, a 1979 Boeing 747-249F (serial number 21827) at various points during its service with the now defunct U.S. cargo carrier Flying Tigers, and following their merger, briefly with Federal Express. (After which it maintained most of its distinctive livery, with all of the Flying Tigers logos and titles scratched off or painted over). Numerous techniques combined with fairly extensive testing have been combined to create what I hope is the most accurate possible recreation of this aircraft within X-Plane, (both 11 and 12), and although it is far from perfect, I hope that it is satisfactory.
That being said, I am currently going through the process of creating accurate custom cockpit textures for this airframe and all other FTL airframes, but since this is a very time consuming process I decided to publish this set of liveries anyway, and thus the cockpit textures will be released at a later date when they are ready. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you encounter any inaccuracies or have any suggestions for future additions. I do intend to replicate more Flying Tigers liveries in the near future, including some of their more interesting hybrid liveries, so stay tuned if that interests you.
Huge thanks to @dial_a_flap for allowing me to use assets from his excellent "shark mouth" livery, which you can find here: LINK It saved me a ton of time and frustration.
In order to have most of the windows realistically plugged like in the provided screenshots, please download and install the following mod: LINK
Enjoy!
