American Airlines livery now available using the decal method featuring N820AL which is American's first Boeing 787-9.
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 787 popular liveries.

First off, let me thank you for your wonderful paints. I love how crisp they are, and I've downloaded all of the 787 liveries. I'm gonna enjoy flying them.
Having said this, if you don't mind, and/or have extra time, I'd like to show some observations and possible corrections. I crave your indulgence.
1. On the American Airlines livery, maybe you should make the logo more detailed like it is in real life. Here's a reference (you can zoom to actual resolution):

In this image, you'll notice a number of things: a) the blend on the blue portion of flag logo is made with dots;
b) although the red and white bars are divided in 3s, they're not simply uniform. Take the whites, for instance, they're not just white/grey/white but rather starting from the top, 1st group is grey/white/grey; 2nd = grey/dark grey/white; 3rd = dark grey/white/grey; 4th, 5th & 6th = white/dark grey/grey, and the tail fine logo covers the entire vertical stabilizer and tail cone all the way to the underneath, if you look closely. The thickness of the bars gradually increase until the lowest ones, and they're stretched all the way down wrapping around the entire cone vertically.
You'll see it better in this image:

The red bars have a similar pattern.
2. (This is for all the liveries) the hazard signs on the engines are facing the opposite direction on the left engine. The arc should always point toward the engine intake (front of engine) and the triangle should point toward the engine exhaust (back). Also, the human symbol should be forward of the line (closer to the intake) while the engine symbol should be behind the line

Well, other than these the liveries are nice and clean, which I love. I'm not one of those who think that for it to be realistic, it has to be dirty. I love my liveries clean so I can simulate delivery flights of new aircraft.
Well, thanks for your time.

Awesome texture! Quick question: I can see that you also offer the same texture for the experimental heavy division 787. How do I install it? I've placed it in the community folder, but it does not show up! Thank you!

If you are using the Heavy Division add-on, you need to only download and install the alternate file. If you are not using the Heavy Division add-on, you need to download the main file which only works with the Asobo version. You can't have both installed, and the Heavy Division add-on does not come with the livery, it needs to be downloaded separately.

Great livery. Love the details. What makes this stand out is it doesn't get pixelated when you zoom out - very high quality.
United Airlines next? 😊
