FSX TAP Boeing 737-600/700

This repaint packages a fictional TAP Air Portugal skin for the PMDG Boeing 737-600 and 737-700. It comes as a straightforward addition and integrates seamlessly with the PMDG Livery Manager, enabling swift activation within Microsoft Flight Simulator X. Authored by Marcio Nobrega, it leverages the SP2 painting kit for precise texturing.

Details on the Featured Aircraft and Real-World Inspiration

The Boeing 737-600 and 737-700 variants represent shorter-fuselage models within the 737NG (Next Generation) series, often utilized for mid-range operations. While TAP Air Portugal does not operate these specific variants in reality—relying instead on Airbus equipment—the fictional scheme brings the airline’s recognizable color branding to a 737 cockpit environment. TAP Air Portugal, headquartered at Lisbon Airport, is known for connecting European destinations, Atlantic islands, and even selected routes to the Americas.

Visual Design and Livery Highlights

• Attention to Detail: Tail fin markings and fuselage branding mirror TAP’s modern corporate identity, though adapted to the Boeing airframe.
• High-Definition Textures: The finish is crisp and clear in external viewpoints, ensuring minimal pixelation across curved surfaces.
• Compatible with Official Paint Kits: Inherits the SP2 painting kit specifications for the PMDG 737 lineup.
