FSX Tan And White Cessna 172 N8643L

Tan-and-white Cessna 172SP Skyhawk livery N8643L adds mint green trim and a clean, believable finish to the default aircraft in FSX. Includes two 1024-pixel texture sets, DXT3 for smoother performance and 32-bit for sharper detail, both without mipmaps, for crisp visuals in the virtual cockpit and exterior views.

Default Cessna 172SP Skyhawk repaint textures for the fictional N8643L, a tan on white Skyhawk with mint green trim. Textures are your choice of DXT3 1024 pixels for better frame rates, or 32 bit 1024 pixels for better clarity, both with no mips. Install one or the other, or install both at once if you wish. Easy installation. Repaint by Tom Tiedman.

Installation:

  1. Drag and drop the "texture.N8643L (DXT3 1024)" folder and/or the "texture.N8643L (32 bit 1024)" folder into your default "C172" folder.
  2. In the usual fashion, copy and paste the enclosed [fltsim.X] entries found below into your C172 "aircraft.cfg" file in the proper logically sequential order, remembering to change the "X's" in [fltsim.X] to the next number in line among your Skyhawk repaints. Then click 'file', then click 'save', of course.
  3. Have a wonderful flight!

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D aircraft
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
  2. Copy aircraft files into SimObjects

    Place the aircraft folder inside FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\. The folder must contain an aircraft.cfg file. Effects go into FSX\Effects\; gauges go into FSX\Gauges\.
  3. Verify in FSX

    Launch FSX, go to Free Flight → Select Aircraft and find your new aircraft under its manufacturer.
  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
