FSX / P3D Repaint

FSX SGAA DeHavilland DH-89 Dragon

SGAA livery textures bring the de Havilland DH-89 Dragon Rapide to life in classic late-1950s Algeria markings, tailored for smooth integration with the original aircraft package. Built for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, the repaint adds authentic registration and airline identity details, and requires dh89fsx.zip by Dave Garwood.

These are textures only so, you must download and install the model for FsX to use these files.
Look for : dh89fsx.zip
Author : Dave Garwood

ATTENTION : Do not install this plane in FS004. It won't work !

Installation :

First, make sure that the base model (dh89fsx.zip) is installed on your system and works correctly.

Once installed, find the DH89 folder on your system, and place the texture.APT folder there. In FSX, it's located in \SimObjects\Airplanes.

Then, open the aircraft.cfg file and copy / paste the following chapter after the others similar sections at the top of the file - replace the XX with the next number in the sequence :

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.

    Thanks for the chance to try a really vintage aircraft; pity the old airports like Croydon aren't there anymore at which to land.
