FSX / P3D livery / repaint

FSX Aero Commander 520 Paint Kit

Aero Commander 520 painters get a clean, flyable 1024-pixel white paint kit texture set for creating custom repaints, built from refined blank elements drawn from Andre Folkers’ Aero Commander 500 and 560/680 kits. Optimized 32-bit bitmaps without mipmaps keep lines crisp in the virtual cockpit and exterior in FSX.

In the absence of a Shupe-Thomas-Folkers AC520 paint kit, here for your consideration is a mixture of various Andre Folkers Aero Commander 500 and 560/680 paint kit blank texture bits and pieces pasted together, re-sized, adjusted and detailed in order to form a fairly suitable (and flyable) Aero Commander 520 blank white paintkit bitmap texture, size 1024 and saved in 32 bit with no mips. All credit to Andre Folkers for his paint kit textures. Screen shots enclosed. Easy installation. Assembled by Tom Tiedman.

  • Copy and paste (or drag and drop) the enclosed "texture.For Painting" folder into your AC520 airplane folder.
  • Copy and paste the [fltsim.X] info found below into your AC520 "aircraft.cfg" file, remembering to change the "X" in [fltsim.X] to the next number in line among your AC520 repaints. Then click 'file', then click 'save'.
  • Find this plane in your menu under "Aero Design".
  • Have fun painting!

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D livery / 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.
