FSX Sky Airline Airbus A319

This add-on is a freeware repaint depicting the Sky Airline colors on an Airbus A319. It originates from the creative work of FSX AI Bureau for the base model (FAIBA319.ZIP) and was painted by Mariano Bonaccorso. Although this texture set focuses on AI traffic, it can enhance both authentic airline traffic patterns and visual immersion for virtual pilots. This packaging does not include the base model; you will need to obtain the relevant files from the Fly Away Simulation mod library separately.

Highlighted Livery Features

• CFM-engined Variation: Reflects the A319’s real-world performance with detailed textures recommended for accurate AI display.
• Adaptable Texture Formats: Includes DDS files for FSX compatibility, as well as BMP-based files for FS9 users. Additional Targa files are provided for those needing to convert them to different formats.
• Entirely Custom Artwork: Precise markings of Sky Airline, an operator well-known for serving domestic flights across Chile, ensuring recognizable traffic at various South American destinations.

Adding the New Livery

This repaint folder is placed into the folder containing the FSX AI Bureau A319 (CFM) model. To finalize the installation, you must edit your aircraft configuration (.cfg) file. An example configuration entry is shown below, but remember to adjust [fltsim.X] so that it reflects the next available number:

[fltsim.X]
title=AI A319 SKU
sim=FAIB_A319
model=CFM
texture=SKU
atc_airline=AEROSKY
atc_parking_codes=SKU
atc_parking_types=GATE
ui_manufacturer=Airbus
ui_type=A319
ui_variation=Sky Airline
description=AI Aircraft from FAIB

Using the Provided Texture Formats

FSX (DDS) Files

Located within the main texture folder. Intended for simulators that natively support DDS textures for maximum efficiency.

FS9 (BMP) Files

Accessible in the FS9 folder, helpful if you plan to integrate the same livery into legacy flight sim platforms that prefer BMP structures.

Optional Targa Files

Included for those who wish to convert the textures into alternative formats, thus avoiding any generational image quality loss.

Final Notes for Successful Deployment

Because this package was designed around AI usage, ensure you consult the accompanying documentation from FSX AI Bureau regarding flight plans and any other special instructions. If unfamiliar with editing aircraft configuration files, references to the Flight Simulator SDK are recommended. Pay close attention to the aircraft container section, which governs how liveries are registered in your simulator setup.

This repaint was developed by Mariano Bonaccorso, with the model courtesy of FSX AI Bureau. You are free to incorporate these files into your personal virtual environment and create more realistic airline traffic operations. Enjoy your flights with this detailed livery!
