FSX Norfolk Air Boeing 737-800

Norfolk Air’s Boeing 737-800 livery brings crisp airline branding to the default jet, with carefully placed logos, registrations, and tail shading that suit 737 Next Generation proportions. Built for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, it preserves stock animations and virtual cockpit use, and requires the default 737-800 base aircraft.

This package introduces a high-fidelity Norfolk Air paint scheme, designed exclusively for the default Boeing 737-800 in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Created by Jon Murchison, it showcases distinctive markings and color placements replicated from the original airline. Enthusiasts will appreciate the carefully rendered logos and precise details that highlight the professional craftsmanship put into this freeware repaint.

Livery Characteristics and Notable Artwork

Colors and Emblems: The Norfolk Air insignia is accurately reproduced across the fuselage, adding the airline’s true-to-life branding along the forward section. Subtle shading along the tail fin helps the overall look closely match the real-world counterpart.

Fuselage Markings: Authentic registration lettering and wing decals are mapped out to align with Boeing 737 Next Generation standards. This ensures the final aesthetic remains faithful to the original carrier’s identity.

Integration and Installation

Texture Compatibility: These textures fit perfectly onto the stock 737-800 included with Microsoft Flight Simulator X. The repaint has been configured to preserve the 737’s native animations, so everything from the control surfaces to the landing gear lines up correctly.

Installation Steps: You only need to copy the included texture folder into your existing aircraft directory and then edit the config file with the appropriate entries. Be sure to verify the aircraft title and variation so the simulator lists it properly.

Note: This mod offers texture files only and does not include the base aircraft model. You will require the default 737-800 packaged with FSX, which is freely available. If it is not present, you can download the freeware base model from the Fly Away Simulation mod library.

Insights on the Actual Aircraft

The Boeing 737-800 is part of the 737 Next Generation family. It is widely known for its short-to-medium range capabilities and cost-efficient operation. Norfolk Air's unique branding once stood out among regional carriers, making this repaint a visually appealing choice for virtual routes that reflect the airline’s historical network.

With this freeware enhancement, simmers can explore the familiar 737 cockpit and flight dynamics while enjoying the distinctive Norfolk Air appearance. Thank you to Jon Murchison for offering this repaint, which adds another layer of realism and immersion for fanatics of commercial aviation in Microsoft Flight Simulator X.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D aircraft
  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. Copy aircraft files into SimObjects

    Place the aircraft folder inside FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\. The folder must contain an aircraft.cfg file. Effects go into FSX\Effects\; gauges go into FSX\Gauges\.
  3. Verify in FSX

    Launch FSX, go to Free Flight → Select Aircraft and find your new aircraft under its manufacturer.
  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.
