Bring a bold fictional USAF “SEA” theme to your virtual hangar with this highly detailed repaint for the Rutan 61 Long EZ. Designed to captivate enthusiasts of Microsoft Flight Simulator X, this livery pays tribute to classic camouflage stylings while retaining the sleek, canard-pusher design that made the real-world Long EZ such a legendary home-built model.

Distinctive Paint Scheme and Aircraft Background

This repaint, crafted by Andy Nott of AGN Textures, applies a “SEA” camouflage look to the Rutan 61 Long EZ. Originally developed by aerospace innovator Burt Rutan, the Long EZ is a pioneering home-built aircraft renowned for its canard layout (small forward wing) and rear-mounted propeller arrangement. Many pilots embrace this design because of its efficient aerodynamics and impressive performance, particularly when equipped with a robust Lycoming O-320 engine.

Key Visual Enhancements

The fictional USAF “SEA” paint scheme captures an iconic camouflage approach while blending perfectly with the Long EZ’s futuristic silhouette. Subtle shading and careful placement of markings help accentuate the aircraft’s unique lines. This aesthetic choice offers a military-inspired feel without sacrificing the agile look that aviation hobbyists usually associate with canard designs.

Technical Details and Compatibility

This add-on repaint is designed for the payware AlphaSim Rutan 61 Long EZ package. It does not include the original payware files, so you will need to ensure you have the base model, available for separate purchase (for instance, through a store such as SimShack). Once the required aircraft is installed, this texture set seamlessly integrates, transforming your simulator environment with minimal effort.

In total, the Rutan 61 Long EZ typically hosts around 160 HP with its O-320 engine, contributing to a dynamic flight envelope. This feature-rich model from AlphaSim uses advanced visual modeling, so the “SEA” scheme complements the add-on's existing details, bringing new visual flair to your Microsoft Flight Simulator X library.

Installation Steps

  1. Locate your ALPHA Rutan 61 Long-EZ O-320 folder within the simulator’s main directory.
  2. Copy the included texture.cammo folder into the main Long-EZ directory, ensuring the folder name remains unchanged.
  3. Open your aircraft.cfg file and insert the provided [fltsim.X] entry, replacing the “X” with the next available number in your sequence.
  4. Save all changes, then launch Microsoft Flight Simulator X to confirm the repaint is correctly displayed.
