Installing repaints?

[Montie]

The repaints are dropped into the community folder, but in some cases every repaint has its own thumbnail in the mail aircraft menu, instead being selected under the aircraft itself.
Is there a different way of installing/managing repaints so the aircraft menu is less messy?

Yes there is. In the MSFS2020 aircraft.cfg, the 'manufacturer' entry was replaced by the painter's name. In MS2024, the aircraft.cfg 'manufacturer' entry MUST be the actual manufacturer's name i.e. "Cessna".
If the painter wants to leave his mark in MSFS2024, he should change the livery folder name instead, i.e. "Texture.MyName_N12345"
