I am not sure if it links directly to the Salty Mod.
Its a shape modification (and not just livery) of the default 747.
This mod can be used for the Salty or Asobo.
The thread you mention is for the Salty mod for the 747-8i but nothing to do with the shape modification from 747-8i to 747-8F.
Correct me if I am wrong and thanks for the help!
Cheers,
