FSX Continental Boeing 737-800

Give your Microsoft Flight Simulator X setup a refined upgrade by adding this meticulously crafted Continental Airlines Boeing 737-800 repaint, created by Jon Murchison. This package only includes textures for the default 737-800, giving sim pilots the opportunity to inject authentic Continental Airlines style without altering essential core files. Users can access the free base model from the Fly Away Simulation library before applying these textures.

Notable Livery Attributes

This repaint reproduces the traditional Continental Airlines exterior with precision, highlighting the iconic globe emblem on the tail and the airline’s refined color transitions along the fuselage. Each metallic boundary, window frame, and fuselage contour has been laid out in clear detail to emulate the actual Boeing 737-800 in real-world operations.

Core Design Elements

• High-Resolution Textures: The surfaces have been refined with crisp detailing to achieve a realistic metallic hue, ensuring close alignment with Continental’s recognized branding.
• Accurate Placements: Brand logos, fuselage text, and warning marks appear in their correct scale and position, reflecting the presentation of an actual aircraft in Continental’s fleet.

Technical Considerations

The Boeing 737-800 is part of the Next Generation (NG) series, known for modern avionics, improved fuel efficiency, and strong operational reliability. This repaint aligns with the default FSX 737-800 flight model, which employs standard control surfaces and cockpit layouts, so no adjustments to physics or panel configurations are needed once the textures are installed. This streamlined approach ensures an effortless integration into your existing environment.

Installation Guidance
