FSX / P3D Repaint

FSX SAA Avro York ZS-BRA

South African Airways Avro York ZS-BRA livery brings a classic postwar airliner to life with accurate SAA markings and registration, reflecting the type’s early long-range passenger service to the U.K. Built for FSX as textures only, it requires AVROYORK.ZIP and pairs clean exterior paint with a historically grounded airline identity.

Copy the "texture.saa" file into the "Avro_york" 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\Avro_york"

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.
I the case of a standard installation replace [fltsim.XXX] with [fltsim.3]. Save the file

Requires dependencies

This file is a repaint — the package below is the base model it paints onto. Install it first, or the textures will have nothing to load onto.

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.
