About the repaint:

The aircraft depicted is N443XJ, a Saab 340B+ operated by Mesaba Airlines. It was one of the first 340s to swap the red and grey "Northwest Airlink" paintscheme for the "Delta Connection" one after the merger of Northwest Airlines and Delta Airlines.

Installation:

1. Put the "texture.DC" folder in your Saab 340's installation folder. (Located in [FSX root folder]\SimObjects\Airplanes\)

2. Open the Saab 340's aircraft.cfg and locate the last of the "[fltsim]" entries.

3. Add the following lines after that:

[fltsim.x]
title=Saab 340B Delta Connection
sim=Saab_340
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=DC
kb_checklists=
kb_reference=
atc_id_color=0xffffffffff
atc_id=N443XJ
atc_airline=MESABA
atc_flight_number=
atc_parking_codes=MES,DALX,DAL
atc_parking_types=RAMP
ui_manufacturer="Saab"
ui_type="340"
ui_variation="Delta Connection"
ui_typerole="Twin Engine TurboProp"
ui_createdby="Brett Henderson"
description="The Saab 340 has been the workhorse, short-haul, turboprop liner for quite some time. Some consider it the "modern" DC-3. It's rugged, reliable, economical and fast.. as well as a dream to fly. It is happiest hauling 30 people on sub-1000 mile hops, but can be loaded lightly, and a full fuel load will carry it across a continent. Mesaba Airlines operates nearly 50 of them as Delta Connection. This one already features the post-Delta/NWA merger color scheme of Delta Connection."

4. Make sure to change the "x" of the newly added [fltsim.x] to the next number in line, e.g. if the previous entry is [fltsim.2], the one you just added has to be [fltsim.3].

5. Close and save the modified aircraft.cfg.

6. You're done. Now go flying. :)
