FSX Robin DR400-140B HB-EDP

This repaint brings a distinctive Swiss flavor to the Aerosoft Robin DR400 X payware package, introducing a fictional HB-EDP registration created by Dirk Hueschelrath for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. The Robin DR400-140B itself is widely recognized for its comfortable cockpit, stable flight characteristics, and reliability in many flight schools across Europe. This texture set showcases the sleek lines of the DR400 in a Swiss-inspired exterior, making short hops or scenic cross-countries more immersive.

Swiss-Inspired Details

The fictional HB-EDP variation emphasizes Swiss-themed markings while retaining the aerodynamic appeal of the Robin DR400’s low-wing design. Pilots who appreciate Alpine-themed flying will find this repaint perfect for exploring mountainous terrains in style. The actual DR400-140B from Avions Pierre Robin has long been favored by flying clubs for its steady handling and learner-friendly performance, so this repaint captures that versatile spirit while adding a distinct personal touch.

Installation Procedure

Before installing these textures, please ensure you already own the Aerosoft Robin DR400 X payware model. You can acquire the required package from a trusted vendor, such as our payware store, SimShack. Once you have the base files, follow these steps:

• Unzip the downloaded repaint folder and place it into your “SimObjects/Airplanes/Aerosoft_DR400-140b” directory inside Microsoft Flight Simulator X.
• Access the aircraft.cfg file in that same folder using a text editor.
• Append the following entry, making sure to adjust the fltsim.XX to the next available number in sequence.

Additional Notes

This add-on is available free of charge and solely replaces the exterior textures. In other words, it does not contain any base model files for the DR400-140B. To enjoy this Swiss repaint, you must already have the payware Robin DR400 X installed in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. By Dirk Hueschelrath.
