FSX Kenn Borek Air Basler BT-67 C-FMKB

This repaint package brings a detailed Kenn Borek Air Basler BT-67 (C-FMKB) to Microsoft Flight Simulator X. The included textures, crafted by Daniel Fuernkaess (Cheese-Strike Repaints), are designed for the freeware Basler BT-67 Base Pack from Daniel Fuernkaess, Manfred Jahn, Alexander M. Metzger, and Hansjoerg Naegele. Enthusiasts seeking accurate polar operations will appreciate the authentic look of the “Polar 5” scheme and the unique adaptation of a modernized Douglas DC-3 airframe.

Aircraft Adaptation And Real-World Role

The Basler BT-67, often regarded as a versatile turboprop remaster of the classic DC-3, offers better performance in extreme regions. Kenn Borek Air, well known for its specialized polar missions, frequently uses these enhanced airframes to deliver dependable service in remote environments. With this repaint, sim pilots can immerse themselves in the same conditions that real aviators face when flying cargo runs or scientific expeditions across the ice.

Details On Textures

This content involves texture files only and does not include the necessary Basler BT-67 core model. The core package, developed by Fuernkaess, Jahn, Metzger, and Naegele, must be installed before placing these additional files. Once installed, each livery delivers a precise interpretation of Kenn Borek Air’s iconic paintwork, complete with high-resolution markings, color layouts, and authentic registration labels.

Step-By-Step Installation Recommendations

1. Check that the Basler BT-67 base pack is correctly installed in your simulator environment. If unavailable, locate and install the freeware BASLER_BT67_V2.ZIP before proceeding.
2. Unzip or extract this repaint package into a temporary folder.
3. Open the Basler_BT67 folder inside your “SimObjects\Airplanes” directory. Copy the included folder named texture.C-FMKB into the Basler BT-67 directory.
4. In the aircraft configuration file (aircraft.cfg), insert the following [fltsim] entries. Replace the “x” placeholders with the next available sequence number. Perform the same procedure for the optional no-ski variant.
