FSX Singapore Airlines Airbus A310-222 9V-STL

This freeware repaint for Microsoft Flight Simulator X replicates the Singapore Airlines Airbus A310-222 bearing the registration 9V-STL, crafted by Paul Craig for use with the Thomas Ruth A310-100 base pack. It provides an authentic visual representation of one of Singapore Airlines’ classic twin-engined jetliners that once operated on regional routes, and it has been assembled to enhance realism for virtual pilots seeking more immersion.

Overview

The A310 features a shorter fuselage and wingspan than some of its Airbus counterparts, yet it remains a reliable twin-engine airliner popular for medium-haul journeys. This specific rendition pays homage to Singapore Airlines, showcasing the carrier’s livery from an era when the airline utilized the A310 family. Paul Craig meticulously developed these textures, taking advantage of Thomas Ruth’s highly regarded model to capture a faithful rendition of the real-world aircraft.

Installation

• Extract the downloaded package to a temporary folder of your choosing.
• Locate your Tom_A310-100 folder (commonly in: C:\Program Files(x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Airplanes\Tom_A310-100).
• Copy the folder named "texture.Singapore Airlines" into the Tom_A310-100 folder.

Configuration Guidance

Before launching the simulator, update the aircraft.cfg file in the Tom_A310-100 directory. It is recommended to back up this file first. Append the following section below the last [fltsim.x] entry (change x to the next available number):

[fltsim.x]
title=Singapore Airlines A310
sim=TomA310
model=PW
panel=310PW
sound=
texture=Singapore Airlines
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=
atc_id=9V-STL
atc_airline=Singapore Airlines
atc_flight_number=1124
atc_heavy=1
ui_manufacturer=Airbus
ui_typerole=Commercial Airliner
ui_createdby=Thomas Ruth
ui_type=A310-222
ui_variation=Singapore Airlines

If manual editing in place gives you any trouble, you can copy the original aircraft.cfg to a safe location, apply modifications there, then replace the file back in Tom_A310-100 and choose to overwrite when prompted.

Important Notes

This repaint requires the existing Thomas Ruth Airbus A310-100 package (commonly distributed under TOMA310.ZIP). Make sure your base model is installed correctly before adding these textures, or unexpected issues may arise.
