Today is a new version with another 12,000 flights for 1989, primarily adding in the Delta Atlanta hub. I have also completed both Hawaiian legacy jet carriers.

The next update will be for the American Airlines Dallas hub.

I also recommend to use AI Companion to check for any missing liveries and models on your system.

Total flights now in 1989 – 114,217

FAIB 747-400 Installer added.

BETA FAIB liveries installer added – This installer provides the CFG files for ALL missing FAIB aircraft liveries. Last updated 6th March 2024. NO Texture files download at this stage, the aircraft will be WHITE or PINK, however you can easily download and drag and drop the Texture folders from Mikey’s Retro FS Corner – Downloads for FSX and P3D AI Traffic (mpai4fs.com) and Brian’s Retro AI – Path & Pixel Pusher | Circa 1983 (brians-retro-ai.com)

DO NOT edit any CFG files, it is not required. Just unzip the textures

I have finally managed to set up a working and FREE Installer for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. Its in its early stages, but it downloads and installs all the FAIB Classics models for out of box use with FSX DDS textures. You can also download the other two installers for the Boeing 767-200 and -300 liveries, and a 1996 767 DEMO schedules.
