FSX / P3D Repaint

FSX Hawthorne College Cessna 172

Hawthorne College Alumni livery brings a distinctive collegiate look to the default Cessna 172, matching 8B1 with clean markings and authentic texture work. Designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, this repaint refreshes the exterior presentation while keeping the familiar flight model and virtual cockpit unchanged, and requires the default C172.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D Repaint

  1. 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.

  2. Add livery to base aircraft folder

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

  3. Update aircraft.cfg

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

  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.

    I can't help but notice that when the proppeler turns on, it's completly black, same for most of the Virtual Cockpit. I can only see the gauges.<br /> If you could give us a fix of this I'd appreciate it much. Thanks!
