Find PMDG 737-600 and 737-900 liveries for MSFS, choose the correct variant and sim version, then install PTP or Community packages.
You can download PMDG 737-600 and 737-900 liveries from Fly Away Simulation's Microsoft Flight Simulator freeware library. Search each variant separately, then confirm the repaint matches the exact PMDG model and your MSFS generation. Install .ptp files through PMDG Operations Center; standard MSFS packages go in the Community folder.
How do I find the correct 737-600 or 737-900 repaint?
Search using the full aircraft name and its common shorthand, but trust the download's compatibility description rather than its title alone.
| Aircraft wanted | Useful search terms | What the listing must confirm |
|---|---|---|
| PMDG 737-600 | PMDG 737-600, PMDG 736 | The repaint was made specifically for the PMDG 737-600. |
| PMDG 737-900 | PMDG 737-900, PMDG 739, 737-900ER | The named PMDG variant and configuration match the aircraft you own. |
A 737-800 repaint will not fit the shorter 737-600 or longer 737-900 correctly. Liveries made for another developer's 737 are also incompatible, even when they depict the same airline. Our guidance on matching MSFS 2024 Boeing 737 repaints to the exact add-on and variant explains this distinction in more detail.
Check whether the listing names MSFS 2020, MSFS 2024 or both. Do not assume that a package labelled only as an MSFS livery supports both generations; compatibility depends on the PMDG aircraft build and the package structure.
How do I install a PMDG 737 livery?
The installation method depends on whether the download contains a PMDG .ptp file or a standard MSFS package.
- Extract the download first. Do not place the original ZIP archive directly in the Community folder.
- For a
.ptpfile, open PMDG Operations Center, select the appropriate livery utility and import the file for the correct 737 variant. - For a standard MSFS package, copy the extracted top-level package folder into the active Community folder. That folder should contain files such as
manifest.jsonandlayout.json, not another unnecessary folder layer. - Restart the simulator, select the correct PMDG 737 variant and look for the repaint in the aircraft's livery selection.
For package-specific instructions and Community-folder checks, use our complete PMDG livery installation guide.
Why is the livery not appearing in MSFS?
A missing livery usually means the package targets the wrong aircraft variant, was installed by the wrong method or sits one folder too deep.
- Wrong variant: verify that the file explicitly names the PMDG 737-600 or 737-900 you selected.
- Wrong simulator generation: recheck whether the download supports MSFS 2020, MSFS 2024 or both.
- Incorrect installation method: import
.ptpfiles with PMDG Operations Center rather than copying them into Community. - Nested package folder: open the installed folder and remove an extra outer directory if the actual package is inside it.
- Missing base aircraft: a livery is only a repaint; it does not include the PMDG aircraft.
- Duplicate packages: remove older copies of the same repaint so MSFS does not load conflicting definitions.
Can I install downloaded liveries on Xbox or PlayStation?
External PMDG livery files cannot be installed manually on Xbox Series X|S or PlayStation 5 because console users cannot access a Community folder or run PMDG Operations Center. The downloadable .ptp and Community packages covered here are for PC; console liveries must be supplied through the simulator's supported in-sim distribution system.
