This texture set, created by developer Corina Meyer, captures the unmistakable Lufthansa style while ensuring a highly realistic appearance within the simulator. It is offered as freeware textures only, specifically designed for the payware PMDG 737-600 NGX, which can be acquired from vendors such as SimShack.

Background on the 737-600 and Lufthansa’s Markings

The Boeing 737-600 is a compact member of the Next Generation (NG) series, known for its efficient short-to-medium-range operations and advanced aerodynamic refinements. Lufthansa has historically operated variants of the 737 family for regional routes, and this repaint replicates the “Wesel” registration markings (D-ABIO) associated with the airline’s fleet. The livery incorporates detailed tail identification, engine logos, and a fuselage scheme aligned with Lufthansa’s recognizable branding.

Technical Highlights to Notice

When installed, the repaint mirrors Lufthansa-specific panel lines, window configurations, and emergency markings. The overall texture package leverages the PMDG 737-600 model’s high-resolution features, ensuring that titles, logos, and riveting details blend seamlessly with the aircraft’s virtual fuselage. The boundaries between color sections follow realistic patterns observed on real-world Lufthansa 737 operations. Additionally, the correct positioning of registration plates and name branding (“Wesel”) has been meticulously represented.
