FSX Martinair Holland Airbus A310-203 PH-MCA "Prins Bernhard"

Experience a carefully crafted livery for the payware Commercial Level Simulations A310-200 within Microsoft Flight Simulator X. This repaint features Martinair Holland’s Airbus A310-203 bearing the registration PH-MCA, famously nicknamed “Prins Bernhard.” Crafted by Bonnie Belle Windsor, these textures exhibit precise detailing that complements the visual authenticity of the CLS model.

Unique Historical Insight

The Airbus A310, introduced by Airbus in the early 1980s, is recognized for its flexibility on various medium- to long-range routes. Martinair Holland, which operated for decades as a distinguished carrier from the Netherlands, placed emphasis on efficient passenger and cargo transport. The PH-MCA variant, celebrated for its “Prins Bernhard” moniker, pays tribute to a notable figure associated with Dutch aviation history. This repaint respectfully showcases sharp texturing that highlights the airline’s classic branding.

To utilize this repaint, you must already own the CLS A310-200 payware model (available through places such as SimShack), as these files supplement that product with the Martinair Holland PH-MCA paint scheme. Ensure you have the CLS A310-200 General Electric (GE) variant installed and properly configured before proceeding.
