FSX Air Berlin Boeing 737-800 WL D-ABMP

This repaint brings the Air Berlin Boeing 737-800WL (registration D-ABMP) into Microsoft Flight Simulator X, featuring an authentic finish that reflects a lightly worn metallic sheen. Created by By Corina Meyer, this freeware modification covers exterior textures only and is designed exclusively for the PMDG B737-800WL payware model.

Distinctive Exterior Refinements

This rendition of the 737-800 captures Air Berlin’s recognizable livery details, including precise color layout and hallmark branding.
