FSX Korean Air Airbus A330-300

This repaint depicts a Korean Air Airbus A330-300 created for Tom Ruth’s freeware A330 design (base file TOMA333B-1.ZIP required). Korean Air operates an extensive fleet of wide-body aircraft, and their A330-300 series often serves on mid to long-haul routes across Asia and beyond. This repaint, prepared by Paul Craig, brings that distinctive Korean Air appearance into Microsoft Flight Simulator X without modifying any of the core Tom Ruth model files.

Key Livery Attributes

The included textures accurately replicate the characteristic light blue fuselage and tail section typical of Korean Air. The airline’s official emblem is clearly visible, and the modern design elements are meticulously laid out across the fuselage. Model geometry provided by Tom Ruth ensures correct wing modeling, engine casing, and flap track fairings for a realistic in-simulator presence. This repaint focuses on fine details, such as the carrier logo placement and the aircraft registration marking (HL7854).

Texture Placement and Integration

Please follow these steps to ensure a proper installation:

1. Extract all downloaded files into a chosen temporary directory.
2. Within that new directory, locate and copy the texture.Korean Air folder.
3. Paste the folder directly into your Tom_A330-300 directory, which is commonly found in:
   OS (C)/Program Files(x86)/Microsoft Games/Microsoft Flight Simulator X/SimObjects/Airplanes/Tom_A330-300
4. Edit the aircraft.cfg file by duplicating the last [fltsim.x] entry and renaming x to the next available number. Replace relevant lines with the data below.

[fltsim.X]
title=Korean Air A330-300
sim=TomA333
model=PW
panel=330
sound=
texture=Korean Air
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=
atc_id=HL7854
atc_airline=Korean Air
atc_flight_number=1124
atc_heavy=1
ui_manufacturer=Airbus
ui_typerole=Commercial Airliner
ui_createdby=Tom
ui_type=A330-300
ui_variation=Korean Air

If you encounter difficulties saving the aircraft.cfg file within the simulator directory, move that configuration file to a different folder, edit it there, and then return it to the original location. This workaround typically resolves permission issues.

Base Model Requirements

This repaint will function only with Tom Ruth’s A330 freeware package. Ensure you have TOMA333B-1.ZIP installed beforehand. If needed, this base model can be located in the Fly Away Simulation mod library. Once the original files are in place, add this repaint to activate the Korean Air texture set.

Use all files at your own discretion. The creator, Paul Craig, and associated parties assume no responsibilities for any unintended effects, damages, or errors. Always back up your simulator files before making changes. This repaint project draws solely on Tom Ruth’s A330 framework while offering a new visual identity aligned with Korean Air’s official branding.
