FSX Express Freighters Australia Boeing 737-300

Experience a precise rendition of Express Freighters Australia’s Boeing 737-300 cargo variant in your simulator. Designed by Mariano Bonaccorso as a dedicated repaint for the freeware FSX AI Bureau (FAIB) base model, this livery set accurately reflects the airline’s operational markings and visual cues. Express Freighters Australia, operating under the Qantas Freight umbrella, uses the 737 Classic series to handle essential air freight duties across diverse domestic routes. This add-on is completely freeware, but the standalone FAIB B737-300 base package is required and is available through the Fly Away Simulation library.

Significant Technical Details for Realism

Various Texture Formats: The download contains multiple file types, including DXT5 (with or without MIP levels) for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, as well as DXT3 (with or without MIPs) and 32-bit textures for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004. Each format ensures the correct balance of clarity and performance based on the sim platform.

Custom Lightmap: A dedicated lightmap is included to enhance night lighting and ensure authentic illumination for AI traffic or static display under different environmental conditions.

Livery Accuracy: The intricacies of Express Freighters Australia’s branding have been carefully reproduced. The fuselage color scheme, airline-specific titles, and markings align with the real-world Boeing 737-300 freighter used for cargo operations.

Distinctive Installation Steps

1. Place the texture.XXXXXX folder into the matching base model folder (the freeware FAIB package must be acquired separately).
2. Open the aircraft.cfg from the FAIB base package and append the [fltsim.x] area supplied. Make sure to increment the numbering from [fltsim.0] onward without skipping any digits.
3. Assign the newly installed AI aircraft to flight plans or traffic schedules so it appears as a cargo operator in your virtual skies.

After these steps, you can begin integrating realistic cargo traffic routes into your simulator, reflecting the core operations of Express Freighters Australia. Once added to your traffic rotations, this Boeing 737-300 freighter will bring an enhanced sense of immersion and utility to Microsoft Flight Simulator X or Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 depending on your chosen texture package.
