Added a Korean Air 747-400 -version2 BRAND NEW 747 MODEL MODIFIED FROM RAFAEL HIDD MODEL. HAS 3D WHEELS, NEW P&W ENGINES, NEW TEXTURING AND FLIGHT MODEL.
In order to modify the afx with PW engines it was necessary to remove some parts from the original model, due to AF5 and it`s damned internal file size limits.The parts removed are:
Wheel Hub caps
Spoilers
Antennas
All lights,including strobes
Obviously this is not an ideal solution and not what I wanted to do at all but it was the only way to be able to create the aircraft. However I think the aircraft still looks pretty good,and I hope you will still enjoy the model even without these parts.

Jeffrey Lung added to wall of shame.After asking permission to use my 737-800 for a China Airlines version,and being denied,and warned not to use my China Airlines textures,he decided to go ahead and do it anyway. A breach of copyright suit is now pending. When will my warnings be heeded,piracy will not be tolerated,and I will prosecute. I ask you all to boycot his file,and inform me of any places you have seen it uploaded.

After the events surrounding Eric Ernst/Staffan Ahlberg and Apollo Software,and the apparrent lack of interest from simmers in my site,I have been considering continuing in the freeware business.I have decided to continue for the moment,but I need to take a break,I need an FS holiday.I feel burned out,and really don`t feel like doing FS repaints.I am however working on a couple of new projects,the new liveries of Air Transat and Canadian,as well as some more BA liveries,so there will be a few planes trickling out now and again.Thanks to those who have encouraged me during these tough times for all freeware designers,I hope you will understand,now why we protect our copyrights....who`se work will be next to end up on a CD making money for someone else??
This update is to announce two more significant events here at ATCO.The first is my membership of the FSFA,Flight Sim Freeware Authors Association,which is dedicated to promoting freeware,and providing a protective umbrella for all freeware designers.It is an important development in our hobby,and will hopefully protect us from predetory sharks,intent on profiting from freeware work.
The second,and perhaps biggest event ever,is my site is now an avsim partner site.It`s great to be on board at avsim,and with their help,this site will grow and become even better.Thanks to avsim,the expansion I have planned for the site can now become a reality,including major changes to the forum,to make it the same in design as the Project freeware forum,and to allow you to leave a message without creating a user account,which I always felt was a drawback with Delphi.
Finally uploaded the Aeroflot A310 to iup.Download will now work.
Saturday,January 9
Added an Aeroflot A310-300 `Airbus` colourscheme with night lighting
Added the Copyright Notice which clearly explains the legal back up I have in protecting my work.This notice is extremely important,please read it. It is very simple,anyone who uses my work without authorisation,will be prosecuted to the full extent the law allows.
Sunday,January 3
Added a Ryanair 737-200 `EirCell` logojet Features 3D optimisation,using new 3D paint technique.For FS98 only. 3D accelleration highly recommended to get the best appearance from this aircraft.
I`ve stated this in the Forum,but as usual it`s met with complete silence. The forum is there for you to make use of,a chance to discuss anything from the world of simming or real world aviation.It took time to set up,and takes time to keep running,but the response has been pathetic to say the least. Once again I seem to be wasting my time trying to provide a service to the flightsim community,all you seem to want to do is collect files,and nothing else matters. The response I got when I redesigned the site was tragically tiny,you all just can`t seem to be bothered to give me anything back for all the thousands of hours I`ve put into this over 2 plus years. It has now reached the point where I have had enough of seemingly wasting my time doing this and getting nothing in return except people ripping off my designs. Right now it seems to me you just don`t care about this site,and if that`s the attitude then I will shut the site,and have my files removed from the IUP server and flightsim.com. I can continue to design,only for my own pleasure,and for those who have helped and encouraged me over the last 2 plus years,and to them hearty thanks,you are the only reason the site is still open,at least some of you out there do genuinely appreciate the time I`ve put into all this.
