Here is a repaint of the default MD-83 aircraft in Northwest colours for FS2002. If you would like one of your AI MD-83 aircraft to look like a Northwest Aircraft do the following:
Pick a texture folder of your choice within the MD_83 folder. The MD_83 folder is located in the Aircraft Folder of FS2002. In this example I'll pick folder "texture.1"
Make a backup copy of the "texture.1" folder. (So you can restore to original textures at some later point in time)
Now copy the file MD_83_t which you just unzipped, into the "texture.1" folder.
Make a backup copy of your MD-83 aircraft.cfg file.
Using an editor of your choice, open up the aircraft.cfg of the default MD_83 aircraft and
scroll down until you see the section:
[fltsim.1]
title=McDonnell-Douglas/Boeing MD-83 Paint1
sim=MD_83
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=1
kb_checklists=MD_83_check
kb_reference=MD_83_ref
atc_id=N700MS <----------------------------------------Change this line (see below)

atc_flight_number=1123 <---------------------------------Change this line (see below)

Now make the following changes listed below:
[fltsim.1]
title=McDonnell-Douglas/Boeing MD-83 Paint1
sim=MD_83
model=
panel=
sound=
texture=1
kb_checklists=MD_83_check
kb_reference=MD_83_ref
atc_id=N913RW <-------------------Change this line to a Registration # of your liking.
atc_id_color=0xffffffff
atc_airline=Northwest <-----------Change this line to Northwest, so ATC calls this aircraft as Northwest. (See Note#1 below)
atc_flight_number=189 <-----------Change this line to the flight # of your liking.
ui_manufacturer=McDonnell-Douglas/Boeing
ui_type=MD-83
ui_variation=Airwave Airlines
description=
Now save the aircraft.cfg file.
Start FS2002 and you should see Northwest MD-83 AI aircraft.
Remember, backup all files before making any changes listed above, as I take no responsibility for file damage. Also you can restore to originals quickly, if you don't like these new textures.
Note#1: In order for ATC to call this aircraft "Northwest", you must ensure that the word "Northwest" is listed in the aircraft.cfg file.
