FSX IRIS Raptor Driver 90FS Flagship

This add-on provides a detailed repaint for the payware IRIS Raptor Driver, showcasing a 90th Fighter Squadron Flagship paint scheme from Elmendorf-Richardson AFB in Alaska. Created by S. Peterson, this freeware download offers a carefully authored texture package that accurately represents the characteristic markings of the squadron’s flagship aircraft. It is fully compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator X and requires the original IRIS Raptor Driver payware.

Visual Highlights and Real-World Inspiration

The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor remains an iconic fifth-generation stealth fighter, renowned for its agility, twin-engine powerplant, and supermaneuverability. The 90th Fighter Squadron (sometimes referred to as the “Dicemen”) operates out of Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Anchorage, Alaska. This repaint captures the flagship markings that emphasize the squadron’s heritage and role in air superiority. Expect the hallmark "AK" tail codes and stylized graphics that echo real-life references found at the 90th Fighter Squadron.
