The simplest way is to add a FS9 model with the paint job of your choice to the \fsx\simobjects\airplanes folder. Replace the panel and sound folders with those from a similar FSX model. You may also have to edit the aircraft.cfg if it doesn't display the panel.

It isn't perfect, but it works.

I don't see any easyjet in FSX aircraft. Can you identify them by file name?

Make sure they aren't installing into the FSX folder under "Airplanes." I noticed many even if they say "FSX" on those web sites install into the wrong folder.

They need to be put into SimObjects/Airplanes not just Airplanes/

Only thing I can think of without looking at the file in question specifically.

Those are textures only for the default aircraft. For them to be displayed, the appropriate changes have to be made in the aircraft's aircraft.cfg.

I assume there is some type of readme or install text file that provides instructions???
