If you love flying over Japan and would like CRJ 700 by to look the part, this livery is for you.
JA07RJ is a real aircraft belonging to IBEX Airlines, a subsidiary of All Nippon Airways and the only CRJ operator in the country. It's nicknamed "Rakuten Eagles Jet" due to its special livery dedicated to the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles baseball team from Miyagi, Japan. The text on the fuselage says "東北には、楽天イーグルスがある。" translating into "In Tohoku, there are the Rakuten Eagles." Tohoku is the northern region of Japan where Miyagi is located. This livery was launched in August 2020 and it's still active. It's one of the few special liveries in existence on the CRJ 700.
This livery works exclusively for Aerosoft's CRJ 7000 for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
While Aerosoft has now made its official version of the IBEX livery, it's still limited by the relatively low resolution of the base textures and was lacking a few details. That's why I decided to continue working on my own. This is its evolution. The original JA13RJ with the standard livery can be found here.
This isn't simply an upscale to 4K of Aerosoft's texture. It was made starting from the blank paint kit with native 4K assets for the best possible quality, while still retaining (IMHO) good performance.
If you enjoy my liveries (more are coming), the best way to support my work is to read my Microsoft Flight Simulator coverage on Twinfinite. Comments are also more than welcome.
We have dedicated daily news, developer interviews, add-on reviews, and more. Despite working on a general gaming website, I strive to offer competent coverage of the sim, and I'd really love to have more eyes of dedicated simmers on it.
It's worth mentioning that the author of this livery isn't associated in any way with IBEX or the Tohoku Rakuten Golden Eagles. The intent of this livery is simply to provide an appropriate and realistic look for the aircraft when flying over Japan.
