FSX / P3D Repaint

FSX Gates Learjet 23

Gates Learjet 23 repaint textures recreate real-world N88B, the classic business jet preserved on static display at the Davis-Monthan AFB aircraft museum, with accurate markings for authentic ramp or AI use. Designed for FSX, it requires Tom Tiedman’s flyable Henry Tomkiewicz Learjet 23 package for correct model mapping.

CREDITS:

1.) Henry Tomkiewicz, of course!

2.) The United States Air Force, for not sending 88-Bravo to the scrap pile.

INSTALLATION:

1.) As is the usual method, change the "X" in [fltsim.X] below to the next number in line among your Lear 23 repaints in your Lear 23 "aircraft.cfg" file.

2.) Then copy and paste all of the [fltsim] info. below into your Lear 23 "aircraft.cfg." file in the proper logically sequential place. (then click 'file', then click 'save', of course.)

3.) Then copy and paste the enclosed "texture.N88B" folder into your Lear 23 folder. 88-Bravo is now in your airplane menu under "Gates", (like you didn't know that!)

4.) Fire up 88-Bravo and high-tail it out of Tucson before the Air Force realizes you're gone!

Requires dependencies

This file is a repaint — the package below is the base model it paints onto. Install it first, or the textures will have nothing to load onto.

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.
