FSX Felix Airways CRJ200

This repaint offers a detailed Felix Airways livery for the Bombardier CRJ-200 model by Project Open Sky. It showcases authentic color schemes based on the airline’s regional operations, while preserving accuracy in both texture alignment and overall visual fidelity. The base model is not included; you need to source the freeware CRJ-200 from the Fly Away Simulation mod library. Created by the Project Open Sky team and repainted by developer Sebastian Szucs, this add-on provides a comprehensive representation of the Felix Airways fleet.

Felix Airways Background

Felix Airways operates domestically with a small fleet of spacious regional jets, including the CRJ-200. These aircraft (known as Canadair Regional Jets) are designed for shorter routes but still offer pressurized cabins, efficient twin-engine performance, and comfortable seating. By introducing a custom Felix Airways repaint, this freeware package supports those seeking more diverse airline options.

Livery Details

This repaint utilizes 32-bit textures without Mip-Maps to enhance color depth and clarity. Although the paint kit originated from FS2002, it has been refined where feasible to achieve a clean finish. Panels and rivets remain adequately visible, and the Felix Airways logo is carefully positioned to represent real-world fleet styling. Despite some limitations inherent in the older paint kit, the result offers a convincing depiction within FSX.

Installation Steps

1. Extract the provided texture.XXX folder into your existing Project Open Sky CRJ-200 aircraft folder.
2. Open your current Aircraft.cfg and paste the relevant configuration section included with this repaint into the same file.
3. Rename “[fltsim.X]” to the next sequential number in your configuration to ensure the simulator reads this new repaint correctly.
4. Verify the model= and sim= lines match the CRJ-200 model and the associated “.air” file in your folder.
5. Close the file, start your simulator, and the new Felix Airways livery should be ready for selection.

Key Notes

• This upload supplies only the repaint files; the Project Open Sky CRJ-200 base package is required.
• Textures come in high-quality 32-bit format to ensure crisp visuals in FSX.
• The paint kit limitations come from legacy FS2002 standards; however, all logos, markings, and color gradients have been refined where possible.
