FSX KLM Boeing 777-206ER PH-BQE "Epidaurus"

This repaint set offers a faithfully crafted KLM color scheme for the payware Overland Boeing 777-200 airframe, specifically featuring aircraft registration PH-BQE named “Epidaurus.” Designed by Bonnie Windsor, these textures bring the detailed livery of KLM – Royal Dutch Airlines to life, reflecting the signature style of one of Europe’s most storied flag carriers. The real PH-BQE serves on intercontinental routes, capitalizing on the aerodynamically refined twin-engine design of the Boeing 777 family. To use this add-on, you must already own the payware Overland model, which is separate from these files. Installation steps are provided below for a smooth setup within Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

Noteworthy Aircraft Highlights

The 777-200ER series belongs to Boeing’s wide-body lineup and is renowned for its extended range capabilities, large passenger capacity, and robust General Electric powerplants. KLM utilizes the real 777-200ER fleet for long-distance operations, taking advantage of the airliner’s effective fuel loading and reliable cargo space. The specific variant displayed here, identified by registration PH-BQE, carries the “Epidaurus” name referencing a historical site in Greece — a common tradition for KLM to label aircraft with geographically significant monikers.

Distinctive Livery Elements

• KLM Branding: The classic blue fuselage motif is portrayed with precise color matching, complemented by correctly placed Royal Dutch Airlines markings.
• Registration and Title: “PH-BQE” and “Epidaurus” markings are meticulously replicated to match official airline references.
• Realistic Decals: Minor details such as door outlines, cockpit window shapes, and alignment of corporate logos preserve authenticity.

Installation Procedure

Once you have obtained the Overland B777-200 payware model, decompress the folder named “FSX KLM PH-BQE ‘Epidaurus’ KLM” directly into the SMS_777-200ER_W folder found inside your simulator’s aircraft directory. The recommended path is:

Microsoft Flight Simulator X/SimObjects/Airplanes/SMS_777-200ER_W

Then, integrate the following entry into your aircraft.cfg file, ensuring you modify the “[fltsim.xx]” portion so it follows the correct sequential numbering scheme:
