This repaint set showcases Qeshm Air’s Airbus A320, registration EY-632, exclusively for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. It incorporates both standard DXT5 and mipped DXT5 texture formats and is intended for the FSX AI Bureau’s Airbus A320 model. The repaint was developed by Chris Thompson, with the base model by FSX AI Bureau. You will need the original freeware package from the Fly Away Simulation library to use this add-on. Below, you will find pertinent details regarding this aircraft and instructions for a seamless installation.

Distinctive Technical Highlights

High-Resolution Textures: The package features both non-mipped and mipped DXT5 textures, allowing you to choose what best suits your hardware performance. Mipped DXT5 textures often improve visual clarity over varying distances.

A320 Structure: The Airbus A320 is a short- to medium-range narrow-body airliner known for its digital fly-by-wire system. Since many real-world operators rely on the A320’s efficient CFM engines, this repaint specifically caters to the CFM variant.

Qeshm Air Livery: Qeshm Air operates principally from Iran, serving both domestic and regional routes. This particular paint scheme, registered EY-632, reflects the operator’s real-world livery elements.

Recommended Procedure for Adding to Your Simulator

  1. Obtain the Base Aircraft: Make sure you have the freeware FAIB Airbus A320 files installed (found in the Fly Away Simulation library). Without those, this repaint will not function.
  2. Place the Model Folders: Extract the base model’s folder into your “SimObjects/Airplanes” directory within the main Microsoft Flight Simulator X installation. The default path could be “C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes” on a 64-bit Windows system.
  3. Confirm the CFM Variant: Only the CFM (standard) model is compatible with this specific livery. Ensure that subfolder is correctly placed in your aircraft directory.
  4. Transfer the Repaint Textures: Inside this download, select either the DXT5 or mipped DXT5 textures, depending on your visual preference. Copy the “texture.Qeshm” folder to the corresponding “FAIB_A320_CFM” folder (or similarly named directory as indicated by your base package).
  5. Update the Configuration: Open the aircraft.cfg file in a text editor like Notepad. Locate the final “[fltsim.x]” entry, and paste the new “[fltsim.x]” section from the provided “Add to Aircraft.cfg.txt” file immediately afterward. Remember to replace “x” with the next available sequential number (for a fresh install, this may be zero).
  6. Apply Final Adjustments: Confirm that titles, texture folder names, and model entries align precisely in the aircraft.cfg. If any mismatch occurs, the sim may not display the repaint.

This repaint package brings a piece of Qeshm Air's regional fleet into your simulation environment. Chris Thompson prepared these textures based on the FSX AI Bureau’s Airbus A320 model, ensuring authenticity and detail in every rivet line. Feel free to explore various scenarios and watch your virtual routes come alive with this eye-catching Iranian carrier’s livery.

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.
