I've been on the hunt for two planes painted in Air Canada's new livery:
A321
A340-500
I've exhausted flightsim.com...any other places that might have it?

IFDG makes a great A321 and I am almost positive it will have Air Canada colors.

Check out PAI, they have a nice AC A321 in the latest scheme. Link is here,
http://www.projectai.com/library/repain ... ac=5&cat=6Although it's an AI plane, it flies alright, just need a panel. There are also the following aircraft available in the new scheme (mainly AI); A343, A333, A319, A320, 763. Some are repaints of PAI aircraft, others are from FS Painter and look really nice. A few are featured in the pic at CYYC below. Haven't seen an A345 N/C yet, however.

Please PLEASE don't tell me you fly AI planes...? :-/
I struggle to think why on earth people do this..... There are FAR more realistic models out there, with far better textures and FAR more realistic flight dynamics...... Try iFDG... and if they don't have the livery your looking for, try all the other large freeware sites, im almost 100% positive that there is one out there...
Just DONT fly AI planes, they wern't designed to be flyable........
Why? :(

Actually if it is of any concern, I pretty much only fly military and occasionally, an Air Canada A343 (got a nice one from Virtual Air Canada, albeit in the old colours). It's important for me to see a proper representation of current AI when in the vicinity of major airports, hence the plug for these Air Canada addons in the latest scheme. Perhaps smarguy24 would like some up-to-date AI at his airports as well. I would think it's an individual's own choice as to whether, if a desired scheme/aircraft combo was only available as an AI aircraft, that they may consider tweaking it to a point where it was acceptable until something better comes along (or until they try doing their own repaint maybe).

Ugh...AI Planes...no...definitely no.
I have the IFDG 321 downloaded actually...flies great...just wish it was in the new livery.
Actually with all this talk of AI planes (by the way, what in the world does AI stand for?) I was wondering why Project AI hasn't come out with a new Air Canada set. Cause A, the current one is actually kinda crappy, and B, the new livery is so much better.
I must download some of these Air Canada AI planes in the new livery...probably be more trouble than taking a PAI package...but I'm sure it would look better.

Hmm...my last thought on the topic...the latest scheme is really pretty much the same white fuselage & dark green winglets (although with some teal edging), would it be too difficult to take the tail texture in the IFDG offering and try a hand at a repaint? Basically, just replacing the tail texture. It can't hurt to try!
