FSX QWHDT Boeing 757 Update Pack

QWHDT Boeing 757 repaint update pack refreshes American Airlines, Eastern Airlines, and FedEx liveries in FSX with newly tailored bump maps and refined textures for more convincing surface detail. It also improves the AA Retrojet stripe and elevator colors, updates FedEx window blanks, and corrects the classic AA GPU marking.

This is an update for the following QWHDT paints that I released in December 2013:

  • American Airlines (all)
  • Eastern Airlines
  • Fedex 3-pack

Includes updated custom bump maps for all aircraft as well as updated textures for the AA Retrojet and Fedex. By Matt Smith.

Here is what is included:

  • For all AA & Eastern paints I have created custom bump maps. To install, copy the .dds files into the previously installed aircraft texture folders in FSX. Note that the bump for aircraft with multiple paints (N501EA, N611AM, N531AA) works for all variants of that tail number.
  • I have updated my AA Retrojet paint with a slightly different stripe coloring that I believe is more accurate. I also painted the elevator orange as it was on the real plane. To install, copy the .dds files into the previously installed aircraft texture folders in FSX.
  • I updated the bump maps and window blanks for the aircraft in the FEDEX 3-pack. To install, copy the .dds files into the previously installed aircraft texture folders in FSX.
  • I fixed a minor error in the classic AA GPU texture (the red and blue "AA" were backwards). To install, copy the .dds file into the previously installed aircraft texture folders in FSX.

My apologies for the inconvenience, future releases will include these updates.

Enjoy your flight!

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.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.
