This package refines and clarifies the original surfaces of the default Grumman Goose G21A in FSX by removing any visual anomalies that often appear as blurred sections. Created by developer Andrew McGowin, these updated files enhance the amphibious aircraft’s details without altering its fundamental flight dynamics in Microsoft Flight Simulator X.
Enhanced Details for the Classic Amphibian
The Grumman Goose G21A is recognized for its dual land-and-water capability, making it particularly appealing to pilots who appreciate versatile flying adventures. Originally designed in the late 1930s, the real-world Goose features radial engines and a robust hull suitable for operations on lakes, coasts, and standard runways. In FSX, Microsoft included this aircraft as a default model, though some users noted occasional blurriness on its outer surfaces. By integrating these revised replacement files, you can expect sharper panel outlines and improved color fidelity during any flight scenario.

Installation Procedure
- Extract the downloaded compressed folder to a location of your choice.
- Make a safe copy of each original “texture.” folder situated within the aircraft\Grumman_Goose_G21A\ directory.
- Move the new revised “texture.” folders into the same aircraft\Grumman_Goose_G21A\ directory, allowing them to replace the previous ones.
- Launch FSX and enjoy the new, refined visuals.
Important Notes
These replacements are intended for the default Grumman Goose G21A included in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Please back up any vital folders before proceeding with the update, as reverting to older files may be necessary if you prefer the original appearance.
