This repaint showcases a Malindo Air Boeing 737-900W (registration 9M-LNF) designed for the freeware FAIB model. It was created by Mariano Bonaccorso and originally developed for use with the FSX AI Bureau base package. Enthusiasts seeking to operate this add-on will need the corresponding freeware model, which can be obtained from the Fly Away Simulation library. This comprehensive texture set ensures that sim pilots can integrate an accurate livery into their virtual hangars with minimal effort.

Technical Details of the Malindo Air 737-900W

The Boeing 737-900W represents one of the stretched fuselage variants in the renowned 737 Next Generation family. Malindo Air’s signature tail design is rendered meticulously here to replicate the real-world operator’s fleet appearance. In particular:

• Registration: 9M-LNF is accurately depicted to match the real jets in service with Malindo Air’s fleet.
• High-Resolution Textures: Provided to maintain sharp visuals when viewed close-up in the simulator.
