FSX Olympic Air Boeing 737-800

Enhance your simulator library with this freeware Greek livery retexture that brings authentic regional detail to the default Boeing 737-800 in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. This repaint was painstakingly developed by Fanis Giannoulakis to accurately reflect the visual identity of Olympic Air, complementing short-to-medium haul operations within the virtual skies.

Greek Airline Legacy and Aircraft Details

Olympic Air has long been a symbol of Hellenic aviation, connecting numerous destinations across the Mediterranean and beyond. To honor that heritage, this layout reproduces the carrier’s recognizable colors on the Boeing 737-800, a popular member of the Next Generation family. Known for its reliability and efficient performance, this twin-engine aircraft features advanced avionics, winglets for improved aerodynamic efficiency, and a comfortable passenger capacity suited to domestic and international routes.

Key Textures Information

The repaint package contains only the graphical components, allowing simmers to revitalize the default cockpit and external surfaces without altering simulation performance. It does not include the base model, so ensure you possess the standard Boeing airliner that ships with the simulator, or obtain the freeware version from the Fly Away Simulation library.

Step-by-Step Integration

1. In your Microsoft Flight Simulator X directory, navigate to SimObjects/Airplanes/b737-800.
2. Insert the new “texture.oly” folder into the main aircraft folder to include the Olympic Air color scheme.
3. Open the Aircraft.cfg file within the same directory, then append the following parameters:
