Some liked the following when they began appearing some 25 years ago .... and some didn't .... that's appreciated/respected and there's no desire want to risk generating "The War Of The Roses II" since there's enough conflict and disagreement going on in the real world around us at the moment, but for what it's all worth, HJG's just released textures for all of the known BA Utopia/World Tail livery themes for the B737-300/400/500 (some what's presented below includes earlier released textures for BAe 146, B727-200 ADV, CONCORDE and MD-80) as follows ....

It's mostly common knowledge by now that for the past 1.5 years HJG have given the DMFS flight line a new/permanent home.
In doing so HJG have "fixed" all the known previous issues that existed among the DMFS BAC ONE-ELEVEN, DH COMET, HS TRIDENT, and VC10/C1K panels (which remain FS2004 native but are also now FSX portable *without any known issues") .... and also "without altering the appearance and/or functionality of any of these panels or any of their supporting gauges/utilities (this's simply simply been "a complementary repair job").
Also ... last December HJG released brand new HQ sound packs for the entire DMFS line (separate FS2004 and FSX specific productions) as an alternative to the original DMFS audio (the latter of which HJG continues to offer). This "NEW" HJG audio is by Benoit PLAMONDON and is as follows ....
BAC ONE-ELEVEN RR Spey 506 turbofan
BAC ONE-ELEVEN RR Spey 511 turbofan
BAC ONE-ELEVEN RR Spey 512 turbofan
DH COMET 3 RR Avon turbojet "no reverse"
DH COMET 3B/4/4B/4C RR Avon turbojet
HS TRIDENT 1C RR Spey 505 turbofan
HS TRIDENT 1E RR Spey 511 turbofan
HS TRIDENT 2E RR Spey 512 turbofan
HS TRIDENT 3B RR Spey 512 turbofan (with booster effects)
VC10/C1K RR Conway fanjet
These "NEW" sound packs are "FAR SUPERIOR" to Benoit's earlier audio releases for some of the DMFS flight line.
In addition to this HJG's also .... over the past 1.5 years .... been slowly expanding the original DMFS texture line .... and which includes these latest liveries for both the BAC ONE-ELEVEN and HS TRIDENT ....
NORTHROP/GRUMMAN AEROSPACE BAC ONE-ELEVEN 401AK N162W (2017 .... had to use the DMFS BAC ONE-ELEVEN 475 Radar Model for this subject since there's no specific or equivaent 3D model ve foor the -400)
BRITISH AIRWAYS BAC ONE-ELEVEN 401AK G-AVGP "County Of Nottinghamhire" (1984)
BRITISH AIRWAYS/MAERSK AIR BAC ONE-ELEVEN 401AK G-BBME (1994)
BRITISH AIRWAYS BAC ONE-ELEVEN 537GF G-BFWN (1979)
BRITISH AIRWAYS BAC ONE-ELEVEN 539GL G-BGKF "County Of Warwickshire" (1982)
BRITISH AIRWAYS BAC ONE-ELEVEN 530FX G-AZMF "County Of Northumberland" (1990)
BRITISH AIRWAYS/MAERSK AIR BAC ONE-ELEVEN 501EX G-AWYR
Some of the above BAC ONE-ELEVEN and TRIDENT liveries may "appear to be" similar to those offered by DM, but, be assured that's "not" the case though. Each are "different" .... and are "historically oriented" .... because that's what the "H" in "HJG" has always stood for since 2000
There's a whole lot more that's been added .... and a ot more still to be added too .... BUT .... without risking re-writing something in accordance with the length of both Old and New Testaments I think what's presented above is sufficient for this reveal .... for the time being
A visit to the DMFS aircraft section of the HJG website will reveal the full extent of everything else that's "so far" been added/released ....
