FSX / P3D Repaint

FSX SaltSpring Air DHC-2 Beaver

SaltSpring Air’s DHC-2 Beaver repaint brings aircraft C-GVPB (cn 1551) to life with authentic textures for coastal hops between Victoria, Vancouver, Salt Spring Island, and the Gulf Islands. Designed for the default DeHavilland Beaver in Microsoft Flight Simulator X, it requires the stock DHC-2 model and keeps the virtual cockpit intact.

SaltSpring Air's Beaver C-GVPB (cn 1551) flies between Victoria, Vancouver, Salt Spring Island and the Gulf Islands off Canada's west coast. Salt Spring Island is the largest and, many say, the beautiful of Gulf Islands.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D Repaint
  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.
  2. Add livery to base aircraft folder

    Place the texture folder (typically texture.{airline}) inside FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\{base-aircraft}\.
  3. Update aircraft.cfg

    Open the base aircraft.cfg in Notepad. Add a new [fltsim.X] section per the readme.
  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
