FSX XL Airways Boeing 737-800 Sunweb Colors

This freeware package features a meticulously repainted Boeing 737-800 wearing XL Airways Sunweb livery (registration D-AXLE). It comes complete with a fully functional base model from Project Open Sky and includes distinctive visual elements applied by Mathieu Vos (APSS). The extensive detail given to this add-on makes it a well-rounded choice for those who appreciate a high-fidelity rendition of this short-to-medium-range twinjet in a unique paint scheme.

Key Aspects of the XL Airways Sunweb Variant

The Boeing 737-800, renowned for its reliability and efficiency on medium-haul routes, is presented here in the vibrant Sunweb colors. XL Airways, a carrier known for holiday charters, once operated aircraft with this eye-catching brand identity. This livery offers a recognizable aesthetic that stands out in any flight simulator environment.

Dynamic Model Features

• True-to-life suspension: Independent suspension and front gear steering ensure accurate ground handling.
• Authentic passenger doors: Multiple doors open, allowing for realistic boarding visuals.
• Flexible wings: The wing assembly includes dynamic flex, providing a lifelike aerodynamic response.
• Tilting bogies: Main landing gear tilts in response to weight shifts, enhancing realism.
• Detailed textures: Each aircraft part features reflective properties according to its material type.
• Refined spoiler movements: Spoilers deploy correctly and reflect the aircraft’s airflow changes.
• Optimized flight dynamics: Accurate FDE (Flight Dynamics Engine) ensures reliable performance, covering everything from tire contact points to engine thrust profiles.
• Enhanced lighting: Full night lighting, cockpit illumination, and visible landing lights from the cockpit are included.
• Transparent navigation lenses: Navigation lights are rendered with see-through enclosures for extra detail.
• Crash effects: Appropriate impact visuals and responses are modeled for enhanced immersion.

Why This Aircraft Stands Out

Combining Project Open Sky’s high-quality base model with Mathieu Vos (APSS) repaint expertise, this package offers a precise representation of the 737-800 in an engaging charter-driven livery. It suits both casual flyers and in-depth hobbyists who want a balanced blend of realistic flight behavior, detailed external design, and immersive cockpit features.
