Time for another livery

If you're tired of using @MAPA's original A300, then you've found the perfect post for you...

I present you... A (barely) real sized A300B4-600R in Saudia's colours


As you can see, about 1/2 of this whole thing is reworked in comparison to the original A300

Reworked things:
1. Engines were completely redesigned to look more like an actual General Electric CF6, even with reverse thrusters;
2. The thickness of the wings were reduced for a bit for a more realistic look, isntead of being extreme blocky;
3. A more realistic acceleration and cruising speed, thanks to a hidden engine i set inside the aircraft;
4. Adjustable flaps (finally);
5. The aircraft is over 29.000 pounds heavier than the original one MAPA did, which causes the wings to flex a bit and turns the whole thing more realistic (in comparison with MAPAs one).

Tips:

1. No more than 450 kts (TAS) while cruising;
2. Landing speed must be between 160 and 170 kts (TAS);
3. Do NOT change the "Suspension Strength" or "Damper" factors in any of the landing gear, otherwise your plane will start jumping when you spawn.

I thank you for taking some seconds or minutes to check the aircraft (or even download it) and have a good day.

Peace out.
