FSX Orbit Airlines Bell 206 Helicopter

Orbit Airlines livery transforms the default Bell 206B JetRanger with a clean, airline-inspired scheme tailored to helicopter lines while keeping the classic Orbit look. Built for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, it refreshes the exterior textures and integrates smoothly into the aircraft selection menu; requires the stock Bell 206 model.

Orbit Airlines Bell 206 Helicopter. Textures only for the default helicopter. By Stephen Hulme.

This is a repaint of the default FSX Bell Jetranger 206 into Orbit Airlines colours. Due to helicopters being very different in design compared to airplanes, I've made some changes to the livery, but tried to keep it in the spirit of Orbit Airlines.

To install, extract the zip file and put a copy of 'texture.orbit' into '...\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\SimObjects\Rotorcraft\Bell206B\'.

Copy the text below and paste it into 'Bell206B\aircraft.cfg', changing the 'x' to the next number in the series. If you are still confused, stare at aircraft.cfg until it makes sense, Google how to install repaints.

Enjoy, and I hope you like the repaint!

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D aircraft
  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. Copy aircraft files into SimObjects

    Place the aircraft folder inside FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\. The folder must contain an aircraft.cfg file. Effects go into FSX\Effects\; gauges go into FSX\Gauges\.
  3. Verify in FSX

    Launch FSX, go to Free Flight → Select Aircraft and find your new aircraft under its manufacturer.
  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.
