FSX Mexicana de Aviacion Boeing 737-800

This freeware repaint features a fictional Mexicana de Aviación Boeing 737-800 livery designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Despite the airline’s historic fleet favoring Boeing types like the 727, 757, and 767, they never actually introduced a 737. However, developer Sigfrido Munguía has crafted this creative texture set to honor Mexicana’s legacy within the framework of a 737-800 model, reflecting the carrier’s iconic branding.

Repaint Specifics and Historical Notes

The included files depict a fictional livery inspired by Mexicana de Aviación. Although the airline never operated this model, it was known for its extensive use of Boeing airframes in previous decades. The 737-800 itself belongs to Boeing’s Next Generation series, widely recognized for advanced winglet designs, improved flight deck avionics, and enhanced fuel efficiency. This repaint aims to combine the airline’s classic color schemes with the 737 family’s modern profile.

Key Attributes of the Texture Package

• Fictional Design: Created to showcase what a 737-800 might look like under Mexicana’s historic branding.
• Accurate Placement: Tail logos, fuselage markings, and the airline’s classic color palette integrated for a detailed appearance.
• High-Quality Textures: High-resolution files ensure clarity around doors, windows, and airline insignia.

This repaint requires the base Boeing 737-800 model included with Microsoft Flight Simulator X. You can also find freeware 737 models in the Fly Away Simulation library if your default install is missing or altered.

Installation Guidelines

Use the following steps to incorporate the textures into your simulator:

1. Unpack the downloaded archive. A folder named texture.MXA will be extracted.
2. Copy the texture.MXA folder into your Boeing B737_800 directory, usually found at: Program Files/Microsoft Games/Flight Simulator X/Simobjects/Airplanes/Boeing B737_800.
3. Edit the aircraft.cfg file located in the same Boeing B737_800 folder. Scroll to the last [fltsim.X] entry and add the following lines, ensuring you adjust “XX” to the next sequential number:

[fltsim.XX]
title=MXA 737-800
sim=Boeing737-800
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=MXA
kb_checklists=Boeing737-800_check
kb_reference=Boeing737-800_ref
atc_id=XA-CMA
atc_airline=Mexicana
atc_flight_number=001
ui_manufacturer="Boeing"
ui_type="737-800"
ui_variation="Mexicana de Aviación"
ui_typerole="Commercial Airliner"
ui_createdby="Microsoft Corporation"
description=Texture by Sigfrido Munguía

Verify that your numbering follows the correct order (e.g., if the last entry was [fltsim.5], this becomes [fltsim.6]). Save the file afterward. Your new textures will then be available for selection within Microsoft Flight Simulator X.
