FSX / P3D Repaint

FSX XL Airways

XL Airways “Viking” Boeing 737-800 repaint brings the charter carrier’s Scandinavian-style markings to the default jet, complete with matching registration and airline callsign details for authentic ATC use. Designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, it refreshes the exterior textures while retaining the familiar flight model and virtual cockpit, and requires the stock B737-800.

Installation Instructions
======================================================

1. Place the texture folders 'Texture.XLV into your Flight Sim X directory, under ...SimObjects\Airplanes\B737_800
2. Open the aircraft.cfg file and paste the following text into the file after the previous aircraft repaint, ensuring to replace [fltsim.x] with the next number in sequence, e.g. [fltsim.9]

[fltsim.x]
title=Boeing 737-800 XL Airways "Viking"
sim=Boeing737-800
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=XLV
kb_checklists=Boeing737-800_check
kb_reference=Boeing737-800_ref
atc_id=SE-RHX
atc_airline=XL
atc_flight_number=221
ui_manufacturer=Boeing
ui_type=737-800
ui_variation=XL-"Viking"
ui_typerole=Commercial Airliner
ui_createdby=Microsoft Corporation
description=One should hardly be surprised that the world's most prolific manufacturer of commercial aircraft is also the producer of the world's most popular jetliner. The 737 became the best-selling commercial jetliner worldwide when orders for it hit 1,831 in June 1987 (surpassing Boeing's own 727 as the previous champ). However, it wasn't always that way\s in the first few years of production, there were so few orders that Boeing considered canceling the program. They didn't, and the airplane has more than proven itself in over three decades of service.


3. Enjoy!

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