Key Technical Aspects

• Base Model Requirement: Requires the freeware FAIB 737-200 package by Philippe Tabatchnik (FAIB_B7372.ZIP).
• Livery Accuracy: Reflects the authentic paint layout and registration specific to Merpati’s fleet.
• Advanced Variant: The ADV series features improved aerodynamics and range capabilities.

Installation Procedure

1. Extract the texture.merpati folder into the appropriate base model folder associated with the FAIB Boeing 737-200 ADV. Ensure you have downloaded the base package separately from the Fly Away Simulation mod library.
2. Open your aircraft.cfg file found within the same base model directory, then insert the supplied [fltsim.x] entries. Retain proper sequencing for each new paint, for instance [fltsim.0], [fltsim.1], [fltsim.2], and so forth, without skipping any numbers.
3. Assign the newly added repaint to your flightplans as desired, enabling the aircraft to populate AI traffic or be flown manually in your simulator.
