FSX Blue Islands BN Trislander

Blue Islands, based in the Channel Islands, have two Britten Norman Trislanders currently, serving their Jersey/Guernsey route. This year they have new colors, depicted here. These repaints require the Premier Aircraft Design base model. Although excellent to fly, they also make good AI models. This summer's flight plans have been published recently, and the ATR and JS31 aircraft are available separately. By Brian King.

Copy or move the texture files into the relevant aircraft folder. In turn, open each aircraft.cfg file, and add the following [fltsim.x] sections.

For G-BEDP, copy and paste this:

[fltsim.x]
title=BN-2A - Trislander Blue Islands BEDP
sim=BN2
model=3prop
panel=trisx
sound=0
texture=BCI-BlueIslands G-BEDP
atc_airline=BLUE ISLANDS
atc_id=G-BEDP
kb_checklists=trislander_check
kb_reference=trislander_ref
atc_flight_number=120
prop_anim_ratio=1.015
ui_manufacturer=Britten Norman
ui_type=BN Trislander
ui_variation=Blue Islands G-BEDP
ui_createdby="Premier Aircraft Design"
ui_typerole="Commuter-Utility"
atc_heavy=0
atc_parking_types=ramp
atc_parking_codes=BCI
description=

For G-LCOC, copy and paste this:

[fltsim.x]
title=BN-2A - Trislander Blue Islands LCOC
sim=BN2
model=3prop
panel=trisx
sound=0
texture=BCI-BlueIslands G-LCOC
atc_airline=BLUE ISLANDS
atc_id=G-LCOC
kb_checklists=trislander_check
kb_reference=trislander_ref
atc_flight_number=120
prop_anim_ratio=1.015
ui_manufacturer=Britten Norman
ui_type=BN Trislander
ui_variation=Blue Islands G-LCOC
ui_createdby="Premier Aircraft Design"
ui_typerole="Commuter-Utility"
atc_heavy=0
atc_parking_types=ramp
atc_parking_codes=BCI
description=

Don't forget to change the 'x' in the [fltsim.x] to the next number - for example if the [fltsim.x] sections went up to 4, then make these 5 and 6. Save the aircraft.cfg file.

If you are using these as AI, you'll need to either copy and paste the 'title' into the 'aircraft' section of your traffic.bgl, or alter the titles in the [fltsim.x] sections to match those already used. Although these aircraft are good to fly, they do make excellent AI as well.
