Aviastar BAe 146-200 PK-BRE

This repaint package offers the Aviastar color scheme for the payware QualityWings BAe 146-200, bearing registration PK-BRE. It has been compiled in .qwl format for seamless installation using the QW 146 Dispatcher. Created by Muhammad Chariri, this texture add-on retains all the authentic markings of Aviastar’s real-world operations and is intended for Microsoft Flight Simulator X enthusiasts who want an Indonesian regional carrier option in their virtual hangar. Users will require the separately purchased QualityWings BAe 146 product (available from stores such as SimShack) to utilize these files.

Technical Background and Aircraft Particulars

The British Aerospace 146-200 (often abbreviated as BAe 146) is a compact, four-engine regional jet valued for its reliable ability to handle short runways, and it offers exceptional approach stability. This characteristic makes it ideal for flying in locations with limited landing distances or complex terrain—typical conditions found in many Indonesian airports. By incorporating PK-BRE, enthusiasts can enhance their simulator sessions with a faithful representation of an aircraft that operates in real-world Indonesian skies.

Key Livery Highlights

• Distinctive Branding: Aviastar fuselage markings stand out prominently against the aircraft’s exterior paint scheme, providing an accurate visual match to PK-BRE.
• Registration Specifics: The PK-BRE registration is rendered precisely, preserving the regional authenticity of Indonesian airline operations.
• Semi-Matte Finish: Subtle texturing in the .qwl files recreates the reflective properties often observed on these jets, giving an immersive cabin and fuselage exterior effect.
