This freeware package enhances the default Boeing 737-800 in Microsoft Flight Simulator X with a meticulously crafted Air France repaint. It introduces the signature patriotic stripe and refined fuselage details, giving virtual pilots an immersive experience when operating this iconic short- to medium-range airliner.

In-Depth Look at the Custom Textures

Developed by the creator known as The Repaint Enthusiast, these textures accurately mirror Air France’s recognizable livery. The fuselage design demonstrates crisp outlines across the wing fairings, tail assembly, and engine cowling. Additionally, the subtle color transitions along the jet’s rear section have been fine-tuned to match real-world paint schemes.

Aircraft & Airline Specifics

Air France operates a diverse fleet, and although the Boeing 737-800 model is often directed toward short-haul corridors, the repaint captures essential elements seen in the airline’s broader operations. This 737-800 is well-regarded for its efficient wing configuration and Next Generation avionics—elements that enhance simulated flight performance and cockpit realism within FSX.

Integration into Your Simulator

These textures are exclusively designed for the default 737-800 model, so no alterations to the flight dynamics are included. Since the base aircraft is part of Microsoft Flight Simulator X, installation is straightforward. Simply follow standard repaint integration steps, ensuring that each texture file is placed into the correct folder. Keep in mind that this release does not include the actual aircraft model; you must have the default FSX 737-800 already installed or download the freeware base model from the Fly Away Simulation library if necessary.

Visual Features & Interior Highlights

This repaint focuses on the aircraft’s external surfaces and does not modify cockpit panels. However, the windows and doors align precisely with the fuselage schematic, preserving accurate markings for exit panels. The coloring around the engine inlets harmonizes beautifully with the overall metallic finish, lending an authentic look from every viewing angle in FSX.
