This repaint package enhances a classic Monarch Airlines Bristol Britannia for Microsoft Flight Simulator X with historically accurate liveries and detailed markings, showcasing Gary Harper’s specialized textures for Jens Kristensen’s freeware base model.

Important Context and Aircraft Background

The Bristol Britannia (known by many enthusiasts as the “Whispering Giant”) is a mid-to-long-range turboprop airliner that flew extensively during the 1950s and 1960s. Monarch Airlines, established in the United Kingdom, operated several aircraft of this type for charter operations and leisure flights. This variant depicts the Bristol Britannia 312, featuring four turboprop engines that provided reliable transatlantic service. Jens Kristensen’s JBK Britannia captures the robust design with detailed animations, making it highly regarded among classic airliner fans.

Key Repaint Details

This release includes textures only, specifically for the model authored by Jens Kristensen. The download requires the BRT_V10X.ZIP base installation to function correctly. Developer Gary Harper has opted to replicate the registration G-AOVH, which was frequently partnered with Monarch’s operations.

Configuration Adjustments

Add the following lines to your aircraft.cfg file, replacing “xx” with the next appropriate numeric index. This instructs the simulator to recognize and load the repainted model:

[fltsim.xx]
title=JBK Britannia Monarch
sim=JBK Britannia
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=Mon
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=britannia_ref
atc_id=G-AOVH
ui_manufacturer=Bristol
ui_type=Britannia (JBK)
ui_variation=Monarch
atc_heavy=0
atc_airline=MONARCH
atc_flight_number=557
description=Bristol Britannia 312

Placing Texture Folders

  • Step 1: Copy the texture.Mon folder into your JBK Britannia directory.
  • Step 2: Take the texture.shared folder and also merge it with the existing texture.shared folder in the same directory. Overwrite when requested.

This repaint pack is freeware. It is made available for personal entertainment and should not be sold. Many thanks to Jens Kristensen for his masterful creation of the Bristol Britannia base model, and to Gary Harper for providing these customized Monarch textures. You must first acquire the freeware aircraft model to enjoy this upgraded livery.
