FSX / P3D Repaint

FSX Cessna 172SP Skyhawk N7745J

Cessna 172SP Skyhawk N7745J brings a crisp, fictional N-number repaint inspired by Canadian C-FTWE for a clean, authentic ramp look in FSX. Two texture sets are included at 1024 and 2048 resolution in 32-bit without mips for sharp exterior detail, and it requires the default C172SP.

Repaint — for the sim’s default aircraft, nothing else needed

Cessna 172SP Skyhawk. Repaint textures for the fictional N7745J, a purely fictional N-numbered version similar to the real world Canadian Skyhawk C-FTWE, for those who prefer N-numbers. Includes both 1024 x 1024 and 2048 x 2048 size textures, 32 bit with no mips for clarity. Install one, or the other, or both at once if you wish. Easy installation. Repaint by Tom Tiedman.

INSTALLATION:

1.) Drag and drop the "texture.N7745J (1024 x 1024)" and/or the "texture.N7745J (2048 x 2048)" folders into your default "C172" folder.

2.) In the usual fashion, copy and paste the two enclosed [fltsim.X] entries found below into your C172 "aircraft.cfg" file in the proper logically sequential order, remembering to change the "X's" in [fltsim.X] to the next numbers in line among your Skyhawk repaints. Then click 'file', then click 'save', of course.

3.) Go shoot some touch and go's at KSGS in South St. Paul. Watch out for chipmunks on the runway!

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.
