Qatar Airways operates two 747-8F however owns no passenger variants. The Qatar government though operates three 747-8 BBJ, two of which are painted in the Qatar Airways livery which A7-HHE was the first delivered and what this livery is based on.
This livery is a full vectored decal with no pixelation which reduces the file size by over 50% than the traditional albedo texturing.
Please leave feedback, review and/or consider donating and am up for requests for non-mirrored 747-8 popular liveries.

Hi! i think Qatar has another 747 ( A7-HBJ ) with a different livery , they also have older ones that was used on passengers back in the 1990s and they had other government ones like 747SP and a other one i cant quite remember
Great work on it!!!

Great work! Will you also do some liveries for the 787 with the "no mirror" technique?
Because only then the liveries work in VR.
Pretty much NONE of all the liveries existing now for the 787 work in VR. They all look terrible.
Only liveries with the "no mirror" technique work in VR for the 787.
But there are almost none.
Would be awesome if you could create some.
Especially a Singapore Airlines 787 would be great.
There is one, but it does not use the "no mirror" technique and because of that, it looks terrible in VR.

Thanks! The new method which is used to produce no mirroring is called the decal method which is how Asobo does their liveries. Instead of painting huge textures in photoshop, the liveries are actually made with geometry. I've started trialling doing A320 liveries with the decal. I haven't attempted the 787 and am unsure whether or not it can as there is a lot of encryption with the files. I'm unsure if we can access the files to do the decal method.

Thanks for this! I have been using the old version, which had only the tail painted and the rest white. Thanks a lot! And if you can, could you do a NWA 747-8? THanks very much!
