FS2004 South African Airways Boeing 737-200 Pack

This freeware texture set brings the classic South African Airways (SAA) livery onto the Boeing 737-200 in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. These repaints, created by Andre Vermeulen, correct livery misalignments and refresh the airline’s signature branding across the fuselage and tail. You will need the freeware Boeing 737-200 base model by Project AI (PAI), which should be available in the Fly Away Simulation file library.

Key Technical Details for This Repaint

• Creator: Project AI (original model) and Andre Vermeulen (repaint).
• Aircraft Variant: Boeing 737-200 – a short-haul twinjet known for its efficiency on domestic and regional routes.
• Airline Livery Included: South African Airways, featuring updated tail details and realigned logos.
• Compatibility: Designed for AI traffic use in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004.

Installing the Refined Liveries

To merge these textures into your simulator, place the entire contents of this repaint package into the SAA texture folder of the PAI Boeing 737-200 installation. By overwriting the existing files with these enhanced repaints, you will see updated tail emblems, corrected fuselage alignment, and a complete SAA logo refresh. If you prefer to manually integrate the texture set or tailor AI flight plans, the following steps illustrate how to proceed in detail:

1. Obtain the Project AI base model for the Boeing 737-200 (PAI B732) from the Fly Away Simulation library.
2. Copy the “SAA-South African Airways B732 Springbok” texture folder from this download and place it within the aircraft’s main directory.
3. Update your aircraft.cfg file with the entries shown below, ensuring you replace any existing entries if needed.

Manual Configuration with aircraft.cfg

In your Boeing 737-200’s aircraft.cfg, append or modify a section such as:

[fltsim.0] title=PAI B732 SAA sim=pai732v6 model= panel= sound= texture=SAA-South African Airways B732 Springbok kb_checklists= kb_reference= atc_id= atc_id_color=0xffffffff atc_airline=SPRINGBOK atc_flight_number= atc_parking_codes=SAA,ZADM,AFRG atc_parking_types=GATE,RAMP ui_manufacturer=Project AI ui_type=BOEING 737-200 ui_variation=South African Airways atc_heavy=0 description=Project AI B732 Only for use with AI Traffic!

Once these lines are added, your simulator will display the correct SAA textures for AI operations. This configuration also allows you to adjust flight plans as you see fit.

Repaint Notes and Disclaimer

This package includes only texture files and does not contain the original aircraft model. Use these repaints at your own discretion. Although no adverse effects are anticipated, always back up existing files before overwriting. The repaint updates the visual appearance of South African Airways’ iconic Boeing 737-200 livery, ensuring alignment accuracy, enhanced logos, and an authentic airline code (“SPRINGBOK”) for AI flight planning. The authors, Project AI for the base model and Andre Vermeulen for the repaints, hope these enhancements enrich your virtual aviation experience.
