FSX Avior Boeing 737-200 ADV YV-1576

Enhance your virtual hangar with a meticulously crafted recreation of Avior’s distinctive Boeing 737-200 ADV in FSX. This repaint captures the signature livery adorning registration YV-1576, thoughtfully developed by Philippe Tabatchnik for the freeware FAIB base model (file name: FAIB_B7372.ZIP). Avior Airlines, operating from Venezuela, is known for its domestic and regional services using reliable classic jets like the 737-200, a staple in short-to-medium-range commercial flight for many years.

Exploring This Avior-Themed 737-200 ADV

• Accurate Avior Markings: The fuselage text and tail emblem echo the real-world operator’s visuals. Notable design elements include precisely aligned stripes along the fuselage.
• Engine Details: Specific coloration on the JT8D powerplants replicates the actual layout used by Avior’s real aircraft of this type.
• Enhanced Gloss and Panels: Subtle reflections, rivet lines, and carefully placed panel shading offer an authentic metal sheen when light hits at certain angles.

Key Model Requirements

To integrate this repaint into your simulator, you must acquire the freeware FAIB Boeing 737-200 base model. This version is specifically designed for FSX and is essential because this download only contains the textures referencing the original model geometry and default animations. The base package is typically available in the Fly Away Simulation mod library.

Detailed Installation Steps

1. Move the “texture.avior yv1576” folder to the correct FAIB 737-200 directory, matching the fltsim.txt file’s naming convention. Ensure it aligns with the version intended for your simulator.
2. Open your aircraft.cfg file within the base model folder. Insert the provided [fltsim.x] entries, taking care to maintain proper numbering sequence without skipping or duplicating. For example: [fltsim.0], [fltsim.1], and so forth.
3. Add the aircraft to any desired flight plans, enabling AI traffic integration or personal use as needed.

This repaint offers realistic detail and an immersive representation of Avior’s Boeing 737-200 ADV, letting you simulate countless domestic and regional routes across Venezuela or anywhere else in your virtual sky. All work is credited entirely to Philippe Tabatchnik, who meticulously created the livery for enthusiasts seeking an authentic Avior experience in FSX.
