Developed by Febriant Leocesio // feleocsim, it portrays registration PK-GFN and is designed for the payware PMDG 737-800NGX WL base package. The nostalgic paintwork evokes the airline’s earlier branding, reflecting its longstanding presence in Southeast Asia’s aviation sector.
Classic Garuda Flair
Garuda Indonesia, the nation’s flagship carrier, has a deep legacy operating Boeing narrow-body aircraft on domestic and regional routes. This particular livery replicates a historical design that once graced the skies, uniting heritage with modern simulator technology. Subtle details, such as the accurate winglet markings and fuselage typography, emphasize the effort placed into replicating the airline’s vintage identity.
Notable Repaint Characteristics

- High-Resolution Textures: Sharp exterior graphics and carefully modeled accents for the cockpit windows and doors.
- Enhanced Authenticity: Captures historical stripe placements and tail design, remaining faithful to the airline's older branding.
