4K vs. 2K: Does it matter for the IXEG?

When downloading IXEG 737-300 liveries, you will often see file sizes ranging from 40MB to 200MB.

• 2K Textures: Smaller file size, lower VRAM usage. Good for online flying (VATSIM) where you don't need extreme close-ups.
• 4K Textures: Extremely sharp fuselage details, readable tiny text ("No Step" placards), and realistic metallic reflections. However, if you have an older GPU (<4GB VRAM), loading multiple 4K AI aircraft will tank your frame rate.

Verdict: Use 4K for your own aircraft. Use 2K for AI traffic liveries. The Art of the Classic: A Guide to

6. Creating / Editing Your Own (Advanced)

You need:

• GIMP or Photoshop with DDS plugin (or PNG export)
• Liveries folder – copy the objects/ folder from the base aircraft to a new livery folder
• Edit fuselage_t.psd (included in the original aircraft download in objects/ source files)

Important paint kit locations:

• Official IXEG paint kit: in original purchase download (IXEG_737_Paintkit.zip)
• Includes layered PSDs for fuselage, wings, engines, tail.

Never edit default aircraft textures – always use the liveries/ folder.
