AirCal MD-82 N475AC for Leonardo's Fly The Maddog X.
To add this livery to MSFS, UNZIP the downloaded zip file, then place the enclosed zip in the ...Documents\Maddog X Files\MSFS 2020\Liveries folder and use the Leonardo Livery Installation Manager tool to install. This plane should have the tail cone, if it's showing up with the flat tail, be sure to select the cone from the drop down menu on the Aircraft page in the Installation Manager.
No support will be provided. Please do not request additional liveries and please do not complain about the colors. I feel these are as close to correct as I can get in the MSFS lighting system and are based on my extensive research and passion for the AirCal design.

Thanks for creating this. AirCal was a big deal for us back in SoCal in the 70s and 80s. However, I think the colors are slightly off. The purple is too bright, should be a very dark/rich purple. Also, the red is off. It looks more like magenta, it should be a pretty run of the mill red.

I've done extensive research, looked at countless photographs (done my own color corrections to make sure I'm getting close), looked at printed materials that are part of my collection, looked at models that are part of my collection and looked at printed materials that are not part of my collection and I believe that the colors are close to the correct brand colors. Thanks for the comment.

Beautiful! thank you!
All the images I've seen of the real Aircal livery, none have this magenta/purple going on, is this based on a specific livery?

The brand colors for Aircal are NOT RED/BLUE. If you're looking at photographs on the internet, all from old color negative or transparency film that have been poorly scanned and not properly corrected for color, you're not seeing the actual colors that AirCal used in their branding. I feel this is a 100% correct rendition of what Aircal should look like and is based on actual research on my part. I'm obsessed with AirCal and have a large collection of printed material and vintage swag. I have both new and vintage AirCal models, one which was an employee gift for service. It's not RED/BLUE. I think this is right. But if you don't like my choices for color, there are other, IMO much lower quality renditions available for you to download.
