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!

Very good quality livery and I am happy to see you managed to fix the Chinese characters so quickly! Hopefully you can do more Asian/Chinese liveries!

Thanks! There is an Asian painter here that is doing a lot of GREAT liveries for your region.
He's Japanese I think as he's done mostly Japanese airlines so far, but I'd ask him if he's gonna do any other Asian paints. (look for all the ANA's he's done...evne the Gold one)
I did China Southern because its one of my favorites in that region and there was not really any other Asian liveries in the default release.
Just trying to do my part to spread my initial liveries out throughout all the world's major regions.

Lol all good now. I apologize for Chinese characters being kinda difficult to read for others. Hell, I didn't notice this at the first glance only to find out when I was doing some screenshots. Thank you for your super-fast fix!

Stunning repaints Steve, thank you for doing this for the community. Can I ask if you could do a repaint of the Ukraine International Airlines livery? With what's going on, I am amazed that PMDG did not include this in their installed liveries! Thanks for what you do sir. Regards - Lee (virtualairlinepilot.org)
SteveDra author
I know what you mean...but regardless of the sad world situation...PMDG wont paint fictionals for that
I will do Ukraine when the -800 releases....see my post at PMDGs website here
