FSX Fly 540 CRJ200

This modified package offers a detailed repaint for the freeware Project Open Sky CRJ200 in the Fly540 color scheme, originally created by developer Sebastian Szucs. It showcases vivid textures and integrates flawlessly into the FSX environment, providing an immersive experience for enthusiasts who appreciate authentic regional jet operations.

Overview of the CRJ200 and Fly540

The Bombardier CRJ200 is a twin-engine regional jet designed for short- to medium-range routes. It typically seats around 50 passengers and is well known among virtual pilots who enjoy flight planning that involves quick turnarounds. Fly540, a budget airline with a presence in East Africa, operates in several regional markets, making this repaint a fitting choice for those who prefer realistic route structures and regional scenarios in their simulator.

Repaint Details

• Specifically tailored for Project Open Sky’s CRJ200 freeware model.
• High-resolution textures saved in 32-bit format without Mip-Maps for clearer visuals.
• Modified paintkit to enhance certain aesthetic elements, although it is based on an older framework originally devised for earlier simulator versions.

This repaint strives to preserve crisp lines and accurate color markings, ensuring that operators can immerse themselves in Fly540’s branding throughout every phase of flight.

Installation Instructions

1. Extract the “texture.XXX” folder into your existing Project Open Sky CRJ200 directory.
2. Locate the “aircraft.cfg” entry included in this download and paste it into your CRJ200’s aircraft configuration file.
3. Update the “[fltsim.X]” bracket so that “X” is replaced by the appropriate next number in sequence.
4. Verify that “model=” and “sim=” lines align with the chosen model folder and “.air” file in your CRJ200 installation.
5. Launch your simulator, select the livery from the aircraft menu, and enjoy regional hops or any favored flight plan.

Additional Notes

Please remember that this repaint requires the freeware Project Open Sky CRJ200 base model, which can be obtained from the Fly Away Simulation library. Ensure your simulator is updated and configured properly for the best performance. Although this paint scheme is an enhancement from an older source file, the final outcome offers a vibrant finish that should be suitable for many virtual flights.

All credit goes to the dedicated efforts of Sebastian Szucs, who meticulously crafted this repaint for fellow flight simulation enthusiasts. This freeware release adds more variety to short-haul operations and offers an engaging alternative for anyone exploring African regional routes.
