Installation Procedures

1. Extract the contents of this package to a folder of your choice.
2. Place the unzipped texture.HU folder into your simulator’s SimObjects/Airplanes/B737_800 directory.
3. Open the aircraft.cfg file found in that same B737_800 folder and append the following code, taking care to replace X with the next sequential fltsim number:

Additional Notes

This download only includes the external textures. The underlying aircraft model is part of the default flight simulator installation and must be acquired separately, usually in the Fly Away Simulation library if not already installed. Once configured, pilots can enjoy Hainan Airlines’ signature exterior design while replicating real-world flight routes or crafting custom journeys.
