FSX LTU Airlines Boeing 737-800WL D-ALTC

Bring a classic European livery back to life in Microsoft Flight Simulator X with this carefully crafted repaint, showcasing the distinctive LTU Airlines scheme on the PMDG Boeing 737-800WL. Created by Corina Meyer, these texture files accurately portray the D-ALTC registration and incorporate the characteristic traits of this iconic carrier. This package only includes the repaint and requires the payware PMDG 737-800WL model, which can be purchased from your preferred flight simulation store such as SimShack.

Key Visual Highlights and Aircraft Background

The Boeing 737-800WL is a twin-engine narrow-body jet, favored by many airlines worldwide for its operational flexibility and efficient performance. The LTU Airlines variant, once known for short to medium-haul holiday routes across Europe and beyond, carried a striking livery that stood out on busy ramps. With these textures, you will notice the winglets (denoted as “WL”) adorned in LTU’s distinct corporate red and lines that extend smoothly along the fuselage, bringing an authentic aesthetic to your simulator environment.

Visual Features Worth Noting

• Accurate fuselage formatting reflecting LTU’s signature color scheme.
• Finely rendered airline insignia for realistic brand representation.
• Optimized texture mapping calibrated for minimal performance impact.
• Optional eyebrow windows, which you can enable in the PMDG options/Equipment menu through the 737’s Flight Management Computer (FMC).

Simulator Compatibility

Designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator X, this repaint blends seamlessly with the PMDG aircraft systems. The textured surfaces remain crisp in all lighting conditions, both day and night. Though tested in FSX, results may vary if utilized within other P3D-based simulators; exercise caution when experimenting in non-native environments.

Installation Procedure

Integrating this repaint into your simulator is straightforward. The PMDG Livery Manager streamlines the entire process, so you can get airborne with minimal fuss:

1. Extract the .ptp file from the ZIP archive.
2. Open the PMDG Livery Manager.
