This patch resolves the blurred external textures on the default Maule M-7 260C, as well as its dedicated ski variant, in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. It provides refined image clarity for both airframes while preserving the original aesthetic design. Created by Paul Craig, these updated files ensure that each livery remains crisp in every operational context.
Why This Aircraft Matters
The Maule M-7 260C stands out as a versatile utility aircraft adapted for recreational pilots and bush operations. Known for its short takeoff and landing (STOL) capabilities, it often appears in rugged environments that demand reliable performance. The default model in the simulator, while iconic, occasionally suffered from blurry exterior details—this fix addresses those shortcomings.
Essential Preparations
Before installing this enhancement, back up all existing texture folders for both standard and ski variants. This precaution allows you to revert to the original files if necessary.
Folder Locations
- Standard Maule 260C Textures:
OS (C)/Program Files(x86)/Microsoft Games/Microsoft Flight Simulator X/SimObjects/Airplanes/Maule_M7_260C - Ski-equipped Maule 260C Textures:
OS (C)/Program Files(x86)/Microsoft Games/Microsoft Flight Simulator X/SimObjects/Airplanes/Maule_M7_260C_Ski
Installation Steps
- 1. Extract Files
- Unzip the downloaded archive to a temporary folder on your drive.
- 2. Apply Fix: Standard Version
-
- Open the folder named “Texture 1” in the extracted package.
- Copy the file Maule_M7_260C_T.dds and paste it into the Texture.1 folder in your Maule_M7_260C directory.
- Allow the overwrite when prompted. Repeat for Texture.2 through Texture.5 if available.
- 3. Apply Fix: Ski Version
-
- Open the “Texture 1” folder again from the patch files.
- Copy Maule_M7_260C_T.dds into the Texture.1 folder in your Maule_M7_260C_Ski directory.
- Confirm the overwrite prompt to finalize the update.
Enhanced Texture Results
After successful installation, the aircraft’s exterior now appears significantly sharper, improving not only visual fidelity but also immersion during low-level flight or backcountry landings. Both standard and ski variants benefit from an upgraded aesthetic.
