Fellow simmers,
Here is my Livery of the PMDG 737 for MSFS2020.
The PMDG line of products use their custom utility called The PMDG Operations Center (OC2).
To maintain your entire PMDG fleet of aircraft (The DC-6 as well you own it), also provides you with a very easy way to install/uninstall/update your liveries. Please follow the detailed instructions below to install this paint. It may look like a lot of steps, but I made sure every step was covered from download to install.
NOTE: I will not offer this as a “Drag and Drop” livery as this method, while operational, does not ensure everything is created properly in the complex MSFS folder structure. When painters use the OC to package their paint, the installer takes care of all the items needed (json updates, aircraft .cfg edits, etc) automatically.
Also…should updates to the aircraft become available, the OC ensures all items are updated properly.
Here are the instructions:
1. Extract the PTP file from the downloaded zip file.
2. Place it anywhere your PC (typically the downloads folder).
DO NOT place it in the MSFS folder structure, including the Community folder (The OC2 will properly extract it there and update the Layout.json file automatically)
3. Press the Windows key on your keyboard
4. Type PMDG
5. Select the PMDG Operations Center and open as an Administrator
6. Follow these steps when Ops Center is open.
1. Click the Aircraft and Liveries menu
Choose Livery Utilities
2. Select the Simulator,Select the Product,Select the Variant
3. Click Install from PTP file
7. After the Open window opens, navigate to the folder you saved/extracted the PTP file to
8. Click Open.
9. Done
If you have any issues with the installation of the livery through the OC2, please contact PMDG Support at https://support.precisionmanuals.com/Main/
You an also go to their forums as many members can help with issues and the support team monitors there as well.
A special thanks goes to PMDG and the beta test crew I had the privilege to work with during the development of this fantastic plane.
Credits: All base textures included in my paints are included by permission from PMDG, as with any livery created by 3rd party painters. I would especially thank the PMDG Paint crew for the fantastic textures they gave us to work with, you guys are awesome!

Great livery addition. Please, LAN Chile old colors for the 600

It would be nice to have a variant with the "500" labeling instat of the 600. 😊 But thanks for the fast creating of this livery!

I thought about that, but decided against it as I felt it was best to call her what she actually is. :)
I may consider just adding an additional texture to replace the one that says -600 if time allows. I'm pretty busy at the moment, and the hard/tedious part is packaging it up and getting it here with the appropriate instructions to replace the 1 file in the texture folder that would change the number to 500. Simmers, historically, are not the best at following instructions, even when painstakingly written, LOL.
Just look how many posts there are about the parking brake behavior since the -600 was released...it was clearly stated in RSR's release announcement and there were still tons of folks who didn't read it. :)

The "L" written for the website at the back of the fuselage is usually in small letters and not a capital L. Otherwise a nice livery!

Beautiful! Thinking of doing any SW like a heart livery or state livery?

Not really. There are 2 great SWA painters who would blow me away with their quality and they've contributed many 737-700s to the pool already.
I'm prepping for the -800 which has 1000's of liveries as you know. Not sure how many I'll do, but a few at least.

Hey Guys,
I was just made aware of a few things I needed to add to the paint (The Star Alliance logo, the red hash square around the sensor up front, and move the tail logo down a bit.) I'm doing that now and will have an update posted shortly, so check back soon to get a better version of the paint.
I also made the IS on the tail a little larger as it is on the -500...which I'm simulating with this -600 paint.
