Ho Ho Ho Airlines DeHavilland Dash 8-400
Textures only. Aircraft by Premier Aircraft Design. By Jason Harnois / Vermon…
Orbit Airlines livery brings updated colors to the default de Havilland Dash 8-100 AI aircraft, with configuration files that enable a flyable version and integrate cleanly into traffic fleets. Designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, it requires the stock DH_Dash8_100 model and includes matching texture and aircraft.cfg entries for authentic ATC details.
Textures only for the default FSX AI Dash 8. Includes files to make it flyable. By Stephen Hulme.

Screenshot of Orbit Airlines DeHavilland Dash 8 in flight.
Intro:
The default Dash-8's in FSX don't come in the latest Orbit Airlines colors. So I've made one that does.
The artwork was derived from Microsoft's default Dash-8s and Orbit Airlines aircraft.
Installation:
To install, extract the zip file and put a copy of 'texture.orbit' into '...\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\DH_Dash8_100\'. Copy the text below and paste it into 'DH_Dash8_100\aircraft.cfg', changing the 'xxx' to the next number in the series.
To make the plane flyable, copy the 'sound' and 'panel' folders into the 'DH_Dash8_100' folder.
AI:
This texture can replace that of the default Orbit Airlines Dash-8 (the one with the red stripe). Just replace the default aircraft.cfg with the one labled as AI and rename it to 'aricraft.cfg'
DON"T FORGET TO MAKE A BACKUP! I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF SOMETHING BREAKS!
Enjoy, and I hope you like the repaint!

Feel free to use, share, distribute and enjoy, but don't think of making a cent from this aircraft.

Once again, a brilliant package... but the speed hold switch on the autopilot, it don't work, and the door does not open. If you could solve this, it would help A LOT
