Logochange

Atlanta Airlines proudly presents a new logo.

Atlanta Airlines will see the biggest change in the company's history since it's foundation in 2001. Mid 2013, all new planes and all checked planes will receive a new livery. The old one will be kept until I have the time to repaint them. The goal is to improve the often very unprofessional repaints to make better ones. The first planes will be the A330/A340 family, made by Project Airbus. (Not ready yet, please don't buck them.) Otherwise I will repaint the B767-300 (when the A330 won't be out mid 2013... )

As you may have notice, we have changed the banner. I hope I do not violate any copyrights, patents, what so ever...

We will change the color system on our aircraft.... Stay tuned.

If we had a service, we could provide here more about the eco class and stuff like this. This is up to your imagination.

Welcome back, 767-200

It was a long time ago, since we said good bye to our Boeing 767-200 fleet and now it's back flying over the Atlantic ocean... The nickname always was "queen of the north Atlantic". In real life, I have flown many times with the Boeing 767-200, mostly it was the -232 (Delta Air Lines) to multiply destinations in the United States in the 90s. However in 1999 there was the last flight with Delta and the 767-232 from New York to Frankfurt (DL102).

While the 767-200 and in general the 767 loose a significant share at the airports, we can revive them virtually:
There is thousand ways to emulate the 767-200 in FS2004, some costs money, some are free.

This was the way from 2008 to 2010:

Atlanta Airlines' Project Opensky 767-200v4 ca. in 2010, Toronto Pearson Int'l Airport, ONT, Canada

Project Opensky dissolved in 2010 and was split in Skyspirit201x and FreeSkyProject.
At the same time I stopped to that model. I'm painting my own models myself. It's a combination out of Photoshop and DXTBMP.

Skyspirit2010 finished the planed Posky 767v5 (at that time the 767-300) in 2011 and published the paintkit in summer, also that year. The 767-400v5 has been also published in 2010.

Christmas 2012 Skyspirit in person Philip Foglar made the last remaining missing paintkits available.

Boeing 767-200 and 767-400.

I want to announce now, that the 767-200 has been updated on January 1st 2013 and has now reentered the fleet again after two years of waiting patiently. As said before, Atlanta Airlines used that type on select Northatlantic flights and some Transcon-Flights.

The brandnew 767-400v5 will follow in February this year.

And here is she:

I wish you a happy new year 2013 with much more content than 2013.

Next post topic will be Airbuses in AWA's fleet and the upcoming 767-400 rendition.
Thank you for reading this.

First AI Plane

I will now beginn to do a timetable for my airline. I've begun with the Boeing 747-400. It will now fly on it's own around the world. Where it's supposed to be. We will publish the schedule later....

Flying along with Atlanta Airlines planes?

I will do a cloning process in the summer months to transit the paints to AI in FS2004/X, so my plane isn't the single one in this livery on the airport. I often feel very lonely between these all real world's airlines. All this will change in the summer. I've learned how to transit my repainted planes to AI planes. Maybe I share the result later with the public... Repainting AIs seems to be easier.

Singapore Airlines is AI, Atlanta is mine in Incheon.

I will use planes from AIAdvark and other AI modelers.

Atlanta Airlines' Cargo fleet

Well, Atlanta Airlines has also a cargo fleet of 3 different plane types like the DC-10-30F, Boeing 747-200SF and the Boeing 747-400ERF/400BCF. So virtual freight, parcels, cars, animals like horses, fish, food, clothing, computer parts can be transported.

Atlanta Airlines launches a Blogsite

This is Atlanta Airlines, an virtual airlines, which only operates in Flightsimulator 2004. Started on July 5th 2001 as Brainchild, since 2008 it is pseudo-real, with virtual planes from Project Opensky (mostly Boeing), Project Airbus (Mostly Airbus A32x and A380s), CLS (Airbus A300/310), SGA (DC-10) and Simmer's Sky (MD-11)...

We want to celebrate 10 years of this idea, because on July 5th 2011, Atlanta Airlines turned 10 years old.
