This repaint showcases Etihad Airways’ iconic A340-541 (registration A6-EHB) in a format compatible with Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Created by Mario Monfrecola, it injects a true-to-life visual element into the Thomas Ruth A340-500 freeware model (base package required). The file has been carefully tested under Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2, though using the DirectX 10 preview option is not advised.

Authentic A340-500 Representation

The Airbus A340-500 is a long-range variant in the A340 family, originally introduced to cover intercontinental flights with higher efficiency. Its four-engine configuration appeals to pilots who wish to experience extended operations without the limitations of twin-jet ranges. Etihad Airways, known for its modern global fleet, operates various Airbus aircraft, and this particular A340-500 repaint mirrors the airline’s real-world livery details.

Key Requirements and Notes

  • This download provides textures only for the Thomas Ruth A340-500 freeware model.
  • The original TOMA345.ZIP file must be present in your simulator setup. It can be found in the Fly Away Simulation library.
  • All tests were performed using Service Pack 1 and Service Pack 2; consistency under DirectX 10 preview mode is not guaranteed.
  • Retain the default Arik Air livery and other shared textures included in the base package to ensure correct texture aliasing.

Installation Steps

Follow these steps to apply the repaint safely:

  1. Extract the texture.A6-EHB folder into your Tom_A340-500 directory.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D aircraft
  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. Copy aircraft files into SimObjects

    Place the aircraft folder inside FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\. The folder must contain an aircraft.cfg file. Effects go into FSX\Effects\; gauges go into FSX\Gauges\.
  3. Verify in FSX

    Launch FSX, go to Free Flight → Select Aircraft and find your new aircraft under its manufacturer.
  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.
