Qatar Airways oneworld Boeing 777-300ER

As (hopefully) everyone knows this livery was in infinite flight prior to 20.2 but in the update this beauty was removed. Although it maybe a while there’s hope that this will be added once again.

If you like the livery and have a vote to spare please vote for it!

We need her back :(

There may be a reason this was taken out… to make way for new liveries? We can’t have every airline’s special liveries unfortunately. I agree that its a great livery and should be re-added but the devs must have a reason for removing it.

[Altaria55]

And yet we have 3 AA liveries and 3 United liveries on the -200ER?

[Alec]

All I’m saying is that there must have been a reason for it’s removal.

[tyleraviator99]

Yes it is a must and we only have 2 for the UA livery.

Please vote 🥺

@Alec

there must have been a reason for it’s removal.

There 100% is a justifiable reason why. Back when 20.1 was released introducing the B772, Jason (or maybe Misha - I can’t remember exactly who) mentioned that liveries use up a significant amount of memory and this poses a challenge with regards to deciding which liveries stay, which go, and which get added.

I’d guess that the reason this was removed was to make room for a different livery in order to optimize the app’s performance - especially when dealing with hardware (memory) constraints.

Found this little snippet from Phillipe. Not many people used the livery, so it was removed.

@philippe

• each new livery increases our bandwidth cost since that livery need to be streamed to each user who is close to another pilot using that livery in live (even if they didn’t select it for themselves).
• the more different livery a user is surrounded with in live, the more memory it will use. Each recent livery takes ~80MB of memory … having as little as 10 aircraft around you would take 800MB of memory just for the liveries . We mitigate this by loading a lower resolution of each livery for other pilots but it is still a significant amount of memory.
• it affects the experience. Ever wonder why it sometimes takes a long time to see other aircraft in Live? downloading and loading liveries is what takes time.
• it cost time and money to create many liveries

Yeah this is post I was referring to. I guess I was wrong about who posted it

Nice request! Infinite Flight did a good job on the 777s, but it came out a lot with the paintings. Showing that IFC is a waste of time if you don’t support paintings that the Developers like.

[JNG_Aviation]

Voted! Idk why they didn’t ship it to the new version

[GameBoy_KIRB]

I actually used this livery often but sadly got removed not sure it will be back

[tyleraviator99]

I know it was the Qatar livery I always used

[Patrick_McCormack]

@Alec I do agree but maybe in future Infinite Flight may be able to have many more liveries, you never know! So @tyleraviator99 I think this is worth it and good luck with this!

[xsrvmy]

Hopefully in the future IF will be able to support more liveries (project metal/vulkan etc.) RFS literally has so many (they allow users to create liveries though).

I missed the days i flew this livery, please get it back…

[Droki]

Here again to get this beautiful livery back :)

[Frank_Cullimore]

Let’s bring her back !

[Frank_Cullimore]

Actually now that I think of it why did they remove this livery?
