How to install this mod

FSX / P3D Repaint
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
  2. Add livery to base aircraft folder

    Place the texture folder (typically texture.{airline}) inside FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\{base-aircraft}\.
  3. Update aircraft.cfg

    Open the base aircraft.cfg in Notepad. Add a new [fltsim.X] section per the readme.
  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.

    @gregory you must also copy the southwest b or g folders into your 737 folder.

    Hello,

    In the read me section of your download folder it says, after putting the folders in the 737-800 folders, to open the "texture.cfg." It won't open. It tells me "This file does not have a program associated with it....bla, bla. Any ideas? Thanks. DR
