Hello all! Today I have a request to make to the FDS team and the community. With the “work” on the 737 coming up soon I thought it would be a great opportunity to update Copa Airlines’ livery and to add split scimitars to them. It seems that only a select few amount of people that are interested in copa or are fans of them will notice that the Copa Airlines livery ok IF is no longer in use in the real world. Although it is the logo’a don’t type and some other changes aswell. And we can’t forget about how beautiful it looks with split scimitars!
I had to sacrifice one of my previous votes for this one, lol. This livery needs a redo. The IRL airplane (HP-1522CMP) has already the new letter font, the Star Alliance logo and the split scimitars.
I hope so, though I’d like to see IF confirming that themselves. If the livery gets updated according to the real airplane every Latin American user will certainly appreciate it.
Giving another bump for this topic, I have been waiting for a long time for this livery to be updated with the split scimitar winglets (since it was said that the winglets were going to be added based on registration, and the registration in IF has them IRL). I was hoping this to happen on last year’s update in December but sadly didn’t happen, still having some faith the livery will be updated (instead of creating a separate one).
Now that Latin American is having its deserved satellite image improvements, will be great if the livery gets updated in the 738 with the split scimitars 😃
This is because Continental created a partnership with them and controlled 51% of their stakes back in the late 90s until their merger with United. Why Copa decided to adopt a corporate brand similar to Continental? I don’t know, but they didn’t care about it. Copa was never a subsidiary of Continental.
