FSX / P3D Repaint

FSX SAA Airbus A321

South African Airways colors for the default Airbus A321 bring ZS-SFK to life with clean airline markings and a cohesive look across the fuselage and tail, ideal for regional and short-haul routes. Designed for FSX, this repaint requires the stock Airbus A321 package to display correctly in the virtual cockpit and exterior views.

Copy the "texture.saa" file into the "Airbus_321" directory. This directory should be as follows if a standard installation of FSX has been done:
"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\Airbus_321"
In the same directory as above, open the "aircraft.cfg" file using a word processor, I use wordpad.
Add the following script to the bottom of the file, noting that the ".xxx" in the line [fltsim.XXX] of the additional script must be the next fltsim number.
In the case of a standard installation replace [fltsim.XXX] with [fltsim.6]. Save the file.

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.
Add livery to base aircraft folder

Place the texture folder (typically texture.{airline}) inside FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\{base-aircraft}\.
Update aircraft.cfg

Open the base aircraft.cfg in Notepad. Add a new [fltsim.X] section per the readme.
Always read the included readme
