This release showcases a modified Boeing 737-800 in Transavia colors, originally operated by Fly Dubai (registration A6-FDD) and later leased as PH-FDD during the summer of 2012. Created by Mathieu Vos (APSS) with the base model provided by Project Open Sky, this freeware package offers careful details that faithfully portray the real-world aircraft while enhancing your FSX experience.

Repaint Heritage and Operational Context

The collaboration between Transavia, a well-known low-cost airline from the Netherlands, and Fly Dubai brought forth this particular 737-800 as a short-term lease arrangement. When it integrated into Transavia's fleet, it adopted the Dutch registration PH-FDD and continued to serve European holiday routes. Reflecting that heritage, Mathieu Vos (APSS) has recreated the exterior textures with authenticity in mind, ensuring that the characteristic Transavia livery appears with accurate coloring and markings. Meanwhile, the underlying model by Project Open Sky underpins stability and realism.

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.
