FSX KLM Royal Dutch Airlines Airbus A310-203

This repaint offers a faithful depiction of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines’ “Rembrandt” (PH-AGA) Airbus A310-203 for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Created by Paul Craig, it specifically applies to the freeware A310-100 model developed by Tom Ruth. KLM is the flag carrier of the Netherlands, and this livery showcases the airline’s vibrant blue scheme from an era when the Airbus A310 played a key role in medium-haul operations. The base model (TOMA310.ZIP) must be obtained separately from the Fly Away Simulation library and installed beforehand.

Key Livery Highlights and Notes

• Aircraft Type: Airbus A310-203 [A310-200 series, built for shorter and medium-range routes].
• Registration: PH-AGA [Dutch registry, named “Rembrandt” after the famous Dutch painter].
• Textures Provided: Exclusively the KLM external paint scheme (no virtual cockpit or internal cabin textures included).
• Developer Credits: Repaint by Paul Craig; original A310 model by Tom Ruth.

Repaint Incorporation Procedure

1. Unzip all the contents to a temporary location on your hard drive.
2. Copy the included texture.KLM folder into the Tom_A310-100 directory of your simulator. By default, in Microsoft Flight Simulator X, the path may resemble:
   OS (C)/Program Files(x86)/Microsoft Games/Microsoft Flight Simulator X/SimObjects/Airplanes/Tom_A310-100
3. Adjust the aircraft configuration file by adding a fresh [fltsim.X] entry. First, create a backup copy of aircraft.cfg to safeguard against mistakes. Then, insert the following data, replacing the “X” with the next available sequence number.

[fltsim.X]
title=KLM A310
sim=TomA310
model=GE
panel=310GE
sound=
texture=KLM
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=
atc_id=PH-AGA
atc_airline=KLM
atc_flight_number=1124
atc_heavy=1
ui_manufacturer=Airbus
ui_typerole=Commercial Airliner
ui_createdby=Thomas Ruth
ui_type=A310-203
ui_variation=KLM Royal Dutch Airlines

Should you have trouble modifying the configuration directly, try moving the original aircraft.cfg to a different folder, apply the edits there, and then place it back into the Tom_A310-100 directory.

Additional Considerations

As this is only a repaint, the primary model is not included. Make sure you have the freeware A310 by Tom Ruth (TOMA310.ZIP) available from Fly Away Simulation before attempting installation. This ensures the aircraft will display correctly in your hangar and within the simulator environment.
