The industry workhorse doing what it does best ... going to work. Although perhaps the weather could have been better at O'Hare?

I know that Air Canada doesn't run 757's but I just loved the Maple Leaf and livery!

Thanks for looking.

Good luck, guys.

Great livery! I love that weathered look!

If you like those kinds of liveries, then take a look at some of the repaints that McPhat Studio's make. Truely amazing stuff!

Good luck!

Thanks for comments guys. The Air Canada livery always brings back memories of fantastic times over on the Canadian West coast - BC, Vancouver, the Rockies etc. Gotta try to get back there.

Ooops! I've caused another controversy! On the original Project Opensky download from Simv by Sam Famy (FS9 page 82) he claims that "This Boeing 757-200 has been painted with the new Air Canada scheme. Even if the company don't own any 757".

I'd checked on Wikipedia just to be sure in case they'd bought some recently but, sure enough, there's none mentioned.

I felt sure that if I didn't mention it, someone would pick me up 'cos you guys are so on the ball!

Anyhow, I appreciate you guys taking the time to check my 'facts'.

Wow! A compliment indeed! Not FSX but good ol' FS9. I can't pedal fast enough to run FSX on my machine.

The textures are a combination of airport environment upgrade (aeu7.zip FS9 scenery page 44) and taxiway textures (taxiwaytexture.zip FS9 scenery page 73). I agree, I think they look pretty cool as well. There are slightly different textures for concrete, asphalt & tarmac. Neat!

FSX textures are similar if not almost exactly the same as FS9. Great shots!

I have both aeu7.zip and aeu8.zip. Having seen this shot, I've downloaded taxiwaytexture.zip and will try it out.

Thanks for sharing the information.
