No 737-300 collection is complete without Southwest. The -300 was the backbone of Southwest's fleet for decades. The Desert Gold (retro) livery looks particularly authentic on the stubby -300 fuselage.

You cannot fly the 737-300 without paying homage to its most prolific operator. Southwest flew more -300s than anyone else.

Before judging the art, one must judge the canvas. The IXEG 737-300 is widely considered the gold standard for the Boeing 737 Classic series in flight simulation. Unlike the modern Next Generation (NG) or MAX aircraft, the -300 has distinct visual characteristics: smaller engines, a flattened nose cone, and "eyebrow" windows.
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.
