Rich Details for a Legendary STOL Utility Aircraft

The De Havilland Beaver DHC2 is known for its short takeoff and landing (STOL) prowess, making it a preferred option for off-airport operations and remote area flights. Operators worldwide have relied on its substantial hauling capability, rugged airframe, and versatile performance in challenging environments. With this texture fix, pilots can now appreciate all those iconic visual aspects without distracting graphical distortion.

Preparing for the New Textures

Before installing any replacement files, you should make a secure backup of the original Texture content. By creating a copy of your existing folder, you can prevent unintended issues and effortlessly revert to the original files at any point.

The default De Havilland Beaver DHC2 folder is typically located here:

Windows Directory Path:
OS (C)/Program Files(x86)/Microsoft Games/Microsoft Flight Simulator X/SimObjects/Airplanes/DeHavilland_Beaver_DHC2

Installation Steps

  1. Decompress the downloaded update into a temporary directory.
  2. Open the folder labeled “Texture ” and locate the file DeHavilland_Beaver_DHC2_1_T.dds.
  3. Copy and paste DeHavilland_Beaver_DHC2_1_T.dds into the “Texture.1” folder that resides under your Beaver installation directory. Confirm the file overwrite.
  4. Copy all contents from the folder “Texture 2” to your local “Texture.2” folder and overwrite if prompted.

Once these steps are complete, the aircraft should display sharper exterior textures without the blurred effect.
