FS2004 Iberia Douglas DC-10

This repaint package offers a detailed Iberia livery for the tri-engined Douglas DC-10, designed specifically for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. It features high-resolution 32-bit textures and demands the original FSPainter base pack (BSPKMDWB.ZIP) to operate seamlessly. Created by FSPainter and repainted by Michael Pearson, it pays homage to Iberia’s distinctive color scheme while showcasing this famous widebody aircraft’s signature lines.

Classic Airframe Highlights

The Douglas DC-10 is a tri-jet widebody design that once redefined long-haul travel. It is known for its rear-engine configuration, distinctive tail-mounted powerplant, and substantial passenger capacity. When flying this add-on, virtual pilots will experience the aircraft’s balance of thrust and aerodynamics, accurately captured by FSPainter’s original model.

Iberia’s Spanish Flair

Iberia is Spain’s national airline, recognized for its vivid red-and-yellow motif. This repaint showcases the airline’s unmistakable tail logo and fuselage striping. The texture set has been rendered precisely to replicate the real aircraft’s layout while preserving its late 20th-century appeal. The result celebrates an era when the DC-10 was a prominent feature within global aviation fleets, reflecting Iberia’s commitment to international and domestic routes.

Detailed Texture Integration

This repaint employs 32-bit images to provide added clarity, especially around critical fuselage markings and wing details. It captures the contours of the DC-10’s fuselage, revealing rivets and panel lines nuanced enough to enhance immersion. Moreover, the textures integrate seamlessly with the original flight dynamics, ensuring that the visual presentation complements the underlying model’s authentic behavior in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004.
