FSX Transavia Boeing 737-800 PH-HZX

This package presents an in-depth rendition of Transavia’s Sunweb-themed Boeing 737-800, tail number PH-HZX, featuring repaints by Mathieu Vos (APSS) and the Project Open Sky base model. It merges precise detail, true-to-life animations, and striking reflective textures, all in one freeware download for flight simulation enthusiasts.

Visual Representation and Livery Notes

The design showcases Transavia Airlines’ special Sunweb livery prominently displayed along the fuselage. Transavia, known for serving various European holiday destinations, operates a fleet of Boeing 737 aircraft primarily on short to medium routes. The PH-HZX aircraft, in particular, highlights promotional branding and vibrant colors, which stand out on approach or during taxi operations.

Airframe Attributes and Utility

• Comprehensive movement of ailerons, elevators, and rudder for realistic handling.
• Independent shock absorption on each gear assembly, delivering accurate touchdown feedback.
• Nose gear steering mechanism with responsive animation for sharper ground maneuvers.
• Configurable trim settings (referring to pitch trim adjustments) for precise altitude control.
• Operable passenger compartment access (doors) reflecting standard airline boarding procedures.
• Wing flex adaptation that dynamically adjusts to airflow and in-flight stress conditions.
• Fully functional bogie tilt, meaning the multi-wheel landing gear tilts on touchdown and retraction.
• Spinning wheels displaying realistic friction and rotation synchronization.
• Reversible thrust animations aiding in deceleration on short runways.
• Materials polished with variable reflectivity, amplifying external realism under shifting light angles.
• Refined flight dynamics that emulate genuine performance profiles, including strut compression and engine thrust output.
• Spoilers rendered to deploy precisely under flight control inputs, enhancing aerodynamic drag.
• Custom textures mapped at higher resolution for a crisp visual presentation.
• Enhanced illumination during night time, including external beacon lamps and interior areas.
• Pilot’s view of landing lights from the flight deck for greater authenticity.
• Light-reflective cockpit windows conveying a semi-translucent appearance in varied lighting conditions.
• Impact visuals (crash effects) illustrating collisions from incorrect landings or taxi mishaps.
• See-through navigation lamp enclosures, showing detailed bulb and lens structures.

Implementation Steps

• Extract the compressed file, then place the “Texture” directory inside the Project Open Sky Boeing 737-800 folder.
• Finally, update the “aircraft.cfg” by copying the provided entries into your existing configuration.

Repaint by Mathieu Vos (APSS), model by Project Open Sky. This freeware edition includes the full base model integral to the Boeing 737-800, making it readily available for immediate flight operations within the simulator.
