The IXEG 737 Classic is arguably still the king of the "study sim" level for the Boeing 737-300. Even years after its release, the flight model and systems depth remain unmatched in X-Plane. But let’s be honest: flying this bird feels incomplete without the right paint job to take you back to the golden era of the 90s and early 2000s.
The visual model created by IXEG is exceptionally detailed. It features high-resolution PBR (Physically Based Rendering) textures, meaning liveries interact realistically with light. However, the aircraft uses a specific "tiled" texture mapping system for the fuselage. This allows for high resolution but requires painters to be extremely precise to avoid "mirroring" errors where text appears backward on one side.

Marcus Vela led IXEG’s livery initiative, a veteran of both military squadrons and boutique restoration shops. He believed a livery was a story made visible at three hundred knots. "A plane's paint isn't decoration," he told his new intern, Sera, as they stepped past racks of color chips. "It's history, commerce, emotion—all wrapped in epoxy and sunlight."

As years passed, IXEG continued to refine the digital craft. Their livery pipeline became more efficient, allowing rapid prototyping and community feedback. They added environmental wear presets—coastal, desert, alpine, urban—that could be toggled. Players could select "outbound" or "inbound" presets to show different levels of grime after a simulated leg. The liveries were not static skins but living canvases that evolved with each flight.
Flying the IXEG 737-300 with a generic livery is like driving a vintage Porsche with a primer coat. It works, but the soul is missing. Southwest Airlines (Canyon Blue + Retro) Lufthansa (80s/90s
