FSX Qantas Airbus A321 in Socceroos livery

This repaint showcases Qantas’s striking theme dedicated to the Socceroos, bringing a vibrant Australian flair to the default Airbus A321 in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. It includes detailed markings, a colorful fuselage design, and accurate placement of official team insignia, all carefully adapted to fit neatly over the default geometry. Created by Jon Murchison, these texture files deliver a distinctive look without altering the underlying A321 model. Requiring the original Airbus A321 from the core simulator installation, this repaint offers a straightforward way to celebrate Australia’s beloved national soccer team from your virtual cockpit.

Visual Enhancements and Special Features

• Standout Livery: Experience Qantas’s commemorative Socceroos design, complete with fuselage graphics reflecting Australian sporting pride.
• High-Fidelity Textures: Each texture leverages FSX’s default A321 mapping to ensure crisp detail and smooth coverage across the airframe.
• Layered Artwork: Subtle shading and true-to-life color treatments preserve the realism under various lighting conditions.
• Optimized Integration: Built exclusively around the default A321 package, it slots in seamlessly with standard cockpit and panel configurations.

Additional Observations

Qantas, the flag carrier of Australia, has a longstanding connection to the Socceroos, known for its support of national teams across major competitions. This repaint reflects that partnership by blending community spirit with modern aircraft stature. Jon Murchison has ensured that the cultural elements—particularly the hallmark green and gold—flow smoothly around the airframe.

Important Notes for Installation

This modification only contains the texture files. Users must own the default Airbus A321 files included with FSX before applying the repaint. If you do not have access to the correct base model, it can be found in the Fly Away Simulation library. Standard texture installation procedures apply: simply merge the texture folder and update your aircraft configuration to reference these Socceroos-inspired files.
