They all had such good looks, Thomson and the later wave livery give me the though of the sea on when on holiday, Thomas Cook (The earlier livery) gives me similar vibes but with a the beach too and First Choice just really sells the idea of those faraway lands and the tropical paradises of the Caribbean & Indian/Pacific Ocean. First Choice might be one of my favourite liveries ever.

What was reported at the time was that there was an error with the 757 liveries before the launch and that it was going to be corrected so they could launch them later; that’s what Charlie said, I don’t know what happened with it. They said they would fix it and release them later

So the livery list for this update is out, and I’m afraid we once again still didn’t get new 757s…
Still good update though

Honestly it’s a pretty big list with just the A330’s

I’d have thought any new 757 liveries would come in a smaller patch outside of the main update, sort of like 3.4.1s liveries.

Just for context, the only passenger B752 livery we’ve had since the remodel was released in 3.3.0 was Monarch in 3.4.0. There’s been a handful of freighters as well.

I just hope that the Monarch B752 is available at INN in this update, it’s the only realistic 757 livery we have for INN yet we can’t buy it there. We can get Jet2 757s at INN but not Monarch ones, and they come from the same airports, MAN and BHX for example.

Honestly gotta be grateful they even added monarch as it’s technically not even flying around anymore…

But maybe this will be fixed with whatever they come up with to get D/E contracts available on shorter routes

That’s what I’m hoping myself, as the Condor 753s are also in the awkward spot of only being available at MCT or a handful of routes at LEJ.

I’ve already flooded INN with Monarch A320s and A321s, got the 757s at IAD. Forever grateful they are there of course. Always nice to see other older airlines make it in as well like today’s news of BMI being added. Hopefully the trend continues.

Fully agree, even though they’re gone, it can keep them alive and likely could draw in a new audience who remembers a family holiday they had on a TCX A321 or something. You never know, and more players means more money. I say add them all :grin:

Let’s remember that liveries for the MD-11 and some 747s are also missing, which means that at some point they will release the liveries for the 757 along with those for the other models.All we can do is wait, :smiley:

I think this is the most liveries in a single update ever, unless maybe the A320 update surpassed it.

I believe 3.4.0 might take the crown for the biggest one, that or the A320 remodel like you say.

Upon some research, this update had 328. 3.4 had 289. 3.3 had 267. 2.3.0 had 324.

What’s crazy is that the a333 now has the most liveries out of any widebody in the game…
