FSX Alitalia Skyteam Boeing 777-200

Expand your virtual fleet in Microsoft Flight Simulator X with a meticulous repaint that replicates the Alitalia “SkyTeam” scheme on the PMDG B777-200LRX. Authored by Edoardo Minuto, this texture pack authentically mirrors the real EI-DDH airframe—an actual Boeing 777-200ER—though formatted here for the -200LR variant. Installation requires ownership of the payware PMDG 777-200LRX, available for purchase through venues such as SimShack (not included in this download).

Alitalia and the SkyTeam Collaboration

Alitalia, a major Italian flag carrier, proudly displays alliance colors as part of its former membership in the SkyTeam network. This particular design references the official “SkyTeam” insignia, blending the airline’s traditional green-red-white accents alongside the global alliance’s signature motif. Although the real-world aircraft wears a 777-200ER designation, the depicted fuselage has been carefully adapted to function with the PMDG 777-200LR flight model.

Technical Highlights

This repaint’s texture alignment has been refined to retain high-resolution details on fuselage and tail surfaces, ensuring that the SkyTeam markings align accurately with the intricate PMDG 777-200LR design. All logos and typography have been matched to real-world references, so the finish closely resembles the signature Alitalia color palette used on their long-haul widebodies. Pilots can experience the enhanced realism that comes from melding official airline aesthetics with PMDG’s in-depth aircraft system modeling.
