Boeing B314 Pan American Airways System NC18602, No. 18 (Bare Metal)
This is an extensive repaint of Pilot's Boeing B314 Clipper flying boat.
The livery variant will be selectable for the Boeing B314 triple tail ony!
The flying boat can be purchased on Pilot's webshop. You need this payware add-on. The mod here is just a collection of texture files!
This mod right now consists of two parts included into one download:
- Pan American Airways System livery
- Flightdeck
This repaint changes the overall appearance and fixes the location of rivets, adds and changes details:
- Fixes for shifted texture mapping
- Fixes for errors in roughness and normal maps
- Higher resolution textures (8k)
- Historical correct high resolution 48-Star US flag
- Historical correct No. 18 font
- Corrected high-resolution Pan Am Logo
- Corrected de-icing boots with added details
- Corrected 'Walk Here' markings on top of wings, fuselage and empennage
- Metal-shine and wrinkling across the whole aircraft, representing a well lived airframe after Pan Am decided to remove the overall silver paint
- Added details around engine cowlings, made the metal more dull and added exhaust stains on topside surface of the wings
- Added details in the nose and astrodome section (fictional, no prototype pictures available, still very WIP)
- Added details on sponsons
- Added and corrected rivets
- Fixed nose interior front door textures
It also changes the flightdeck:
- Higher resolution textures (8k)
- Added details like rivets, screws, fasteners, door handles, seams, stitches and frames
- Overall color corrected and brighter appearance
- Altered color palette to represent flightdeck closer to the pictures available (brighter walls and floors, darker tables)
- Corrected texture error on the pilot side roof escape hatch and added said hatch by in-texture means
- Added wing interior texture
- Fixes for shifted texture mapping
In all, this release is still work in progress as it is still missing changes I have on my to-do list. Colors and surface appearances will most likely change in the future. The outer aircraft skin is still missing some panel linesas well as weathering, different colored panels etc.
Once this texture set is done, I plan to add two other aircraft variants: One with the earlier mars-red panels on the wings and one without the flags.
I hope you like the changes and I'm open for constructive criticism :D

Update: Absolutely loving all the work you're doing. I get excited for every update I see.
If I may make a request. Is there anything that can be done to improve the prop animation? I understand if that's not in the realm of your expertise, it's just the last thing about the plane that doesn't look as good as the rest. 😉
Keep up the excellent work!
