FSX Robin DR400-140B OE-DPH

This highly detailed repaint introduces a fictitious Austrian registration (OE-DPH) and adapts the popular Robin DR400-140B by Aerosoft for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Originally conceived and manufactured by the French company Avions Pierre Robin, the DR400-140B is recognized for its wooden airframe design and stable flight performance, making it a favored choice among flight schools and touring enthusiasts. This new livery, crafted by Dirk Hueschelrath, offers regional flair and an immersive look, ensuring that virtual pilots can experience the allure of Austrian-registered aircraft while traversing the skies.

Showcasing the Austrian-Inspired Exterior

The new paint scheme conveys a striking finish that echoes Austrian aviation aesthetics, featuring a vibrant registration code that stands out against the classic contours of the Robin DR400-140B. This aircraft has historically been favored for scenic flying due to its broad canopy, offering excellent visibility of landscapes below.

Important Payware Requirements

This add-on exclusively comprises texture files for the Aerosoft rendition of the Robin DR400-140B. The underlying payware model is not included here and must be acquired separately. Additional content, such as the cockpit systems and flight dynamics, remains part of the purchased package and is indispensable for a proper simulation experience.

How to Incorporate the Repaint

Texture Folder Placement

After unzipping the downloaded files, move the extracted texture directory (or directories) into the following location in the simulator folder structure:

• FSX Path: Flight Simulator X/SimObjects/Airplanes/Aerosoft_DR400-140b/

Aircraft Configuration Edits

Next, locate the aircraft.cfg file in the same Aerosoft_DR400-140b folder and open it using any text editor. Append the following code block, replacing XX with the next available [fltsim] number:

[fltsim.XX]
