Description:
Braathens was an early norwegian airline that served as the main competititor to SAS. It started up in 1946 to transport goods for the founder (Ludvig G. Braathen)'s shipping company. In the early days the airline operated on long haul flights with DC3's and DC6's on long haul route, before eventually being pushed into the norwegian domestic market in the jet age. At that time Braathens had the 737 as the backbone of its fleet, in various different liveries, this being the newer one. The airline joined the SAS group in 2001 and merged with the norwegian part of SAS in 2004 to create SAS Braathens (creative name, right!?).
Install:
Extract .ZIP into a folder of your choice, then install via the PMDG operations center that ships with the aircraft:
Press aircraft and liveries -> livery utilities in the top menu, then press "install from PTP" in the lower left corner. Navigate to the downloaded file and let PMDG do the rest.
Feedback:
If you have any feedback positive, or negative I|d be happy to hear it so I can improove my furure liveries and perhaps update this one if needed.
Donations:
Any donations are highly apprechiated but of course not necesarry to enjoy my liveries. All proceeds go directly back into the livery-making process! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Riskas123
Other Braathens liveries:
This livery is made as a part of a fleet pack, with many special liveries as well as the normal ones that Braathens' 737's have worn over the years. You can find the other liveries on my profile: https://flightsim.to/profile/Riskas123/uploads

Hi, unfortuneatly I don't plan to get the -600 since I probably wouldn't fly it all that much. However, if PMDG releases a version of the 700 without winglets I'll update these liveries. When you say to "look into this livery" do you mean the SAS livery from the picture, or more Braathens? Thanks for the feedback Olav :), Rasmus

Amazing! 😀 Will you make the last one for Braathens? From the period after the norwegian flag on the tail.

See, I tried that... It didn't turn out very well. The abstract silver bird-wing-thing logo isn't available in high quality anywhere, and the lighting is fairly fancy, which makes me think that the logo was actually rendered in 3d. Also this livery right here is actually the last one they had, the "silver bird" one was in-between this and the bare metal/retro one.
Hope you enjoy the ones I have made, but I don't know if I'll be able to make that one. There is a version available for Xplane, which is obviously made by someone else, so if I were to get in contact with whomever made that livery I might be able to use their tail (who knows, maybe they have more 3d experience and pulled it off more easily), at least theirs looks pretty good. I might keep trying though, so keep an eye out!
