FSX Brussels Airlines Boeing 737-800

Brussels Airlines’ modern dotted “b” tail and crisp fuselage markings come to life on the Boeing 737-800 with a finely aligned, high-resolution freeware repaint that matches the carrier’s signature palette and branding. Built for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, it uses the default 737 virtual cockpit and flight model and requires the appropriate base model.

This carefully crafted freeware repaint brings the eye-catching Brussels Airlines livery to the standard Boeing 737-800 found in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. It showcases an expertly designed exterior that accurately reflects the airline’s signature color palette and branding. Developed by Anthony Duray, this package only includes the texture files and requires the default 737-800 in FSX, along with the appropriate base model available in the Fly Away Simulation library.

Brussels Airlines Heritage and Aesthetic Details

Brussels Airlines, recognized as Belgium’s national carrier, is known for an understated yet contemporary look on its fleet. This repaint incorporates the airline’s distinctive markings and logo placements, including the dotted “b” emblem (representing Belgian heritage) on the tail fin. The fuselage design has been replicated using crisp bitmap layers (a bitmap is a type of image file based on a grid of pixels), ensuring an authentic visual experience at any viewing angle during your flights.

Accurate Virtual Airline Representation

The Boeing 737-800, a member of the Next Generation (NG) series, is a twin-engine, short-to-medium range aircraft popular for its efficiency and reliability. With this repaint, simmers observe the real-world livery details—from the correct alignment of the cabin windows to the placement of the registration letters—making every flight reflect realistic operations. The textures have been refined to blend seamlessly with the default FSX model’s geometry, contributing to an immersive, faultless finish.

Features and Technical Compatibility

These textures have been verified to work specifically with the default 737 cockpit and flight model in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. There are no modifications to the aircraft’s performance data, so handling remains consistent with the original flight parameters that many simmers are accustomed to. This approach keeps performance demands modest while preserving the simulator’s authenticity.

Installation Requirements

  • Primary requirement: the default Microsoft Flight Simulator X 737-800, which already resides in FSX’s aircraft library.
  • Ensure the freeware base model—accessible in the Fly Away Simulation library—is installed. This repaint set does not include the underlying model files.
  • Install the included texture folder and merge the necessary configuration entries in the aircraft.cfg file to enable the Brussels Airlines exterior.

Developer Notes

This livery represents the continued commitment of Anthony Duray to produce high-fidelity repaints for flight simulation enthusiasts. Extensive attention to decals, logos, and fine color matching ensures that the Brussels Airlines branding retains its signature presence.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D aircraft
  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. Copy aircraft files into SimObjects

    Place the aircraft folder inside FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\. The folder must contain an aircraft.cfg file. Effects go into FSX\Effects\; gauges go into FSX\Gauges\.
  3. Verify in FSX

    Launch FSX, go to Free Flight → Select Aircraft and find your new aircraft under its manufacturer.
  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.
