This texture revision for the Beechcraft King Air 350 provides a direct solution for the occasionally blurred exterior and cockpit visuals in Microsoft Flight Simulator X. By updating the default imagery with clearer replacements, it enhances the overall appearance while retaining the authentic design of the original aircraft. The developer, Andrew McGowin, has carefully refined these files to integrate seamlessly without affecting the core flight dynamics.

Revitalized Visual Fidelity

These updated texture files focus on improving the crispness of both the fuselage and cockpit panels. The Beechcraft King Air 350—a twin-turboprop aircraft widely favored for corporate and regional passenger operations—features a robust airframe and advanced avionics. However, its default textures in Microsoft’s simulator sometimes lose clarity. This fix restores that missing sharpness, allowing pilots to experience more realistic shading and detail.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide

  1. Extract the revised textures into a spare folder on your system.
  2. Locate the default Beech_King_Air_350 directory in your aircraft files and save backups of all folders named “texture.”
  3. Copy the newly provided texture. folders into the same directory, overwriting the old items when prompted.
  4. Launch the simulator and enjoy the enhanced visual elements.

This procedure preserves the essential structure of the King Air 350 while offering a sharper look. The transformation is most notable along the wings and fuselage, where crisp rivet lines and refined paintwork become apparent.
