Premium Aircraft...?

Seahawk72s

SOH-CM-2023
I am wondering about information on the "premium" aircraft.

- Has anything been said about repaints..?
As the aircraft seem locked down will MS or the design teams control/release repaints..?

- Do we know who designed the "premium" aircraft..?
I am curious about the 787.

- Are there expectations that these aircraft might be developed further or will they stay default.?
(Leaving the field open to others) (I think I am answering my own question)
 
I don't think the aircraft that come with Premium are any different in terms of modelling quality than the others.

So, just as repaintable and with just as many INOP buttons in the VC, un-tameable behaviour on TO and Landing, etc.

Except that the aircraft.cfg files are inaccessible, so there's no way to add paints to them. If you know how to get at them, I'd appreciate the info.
 
Look at the "sticky" thread for add-on's Liveries are beginning to appear for premium aircraft. Several already for the 787.

The same guys are doing mods for the A320 which for me is the best jet in FS2020 right now. I am glad to see the community is already working so fast on doing things like this. I am totally convinced that FS2020 is going to have a long and very successful run.
 
But sadly, I just got a BSOD flying the A320 KSFO to KPHX. First time I've had that ever on this machine. :banghead:
 
Major upgrade to 320

A major upgrade to the 320.

I went one folder level above the "8bbwe" folder and searched for "aircraft.cfg" - no joy. I'm thinking they're embedded into something else...

Your own [install directory] though of course.

they are located here:

Except your not using the aircrafts aircraft.cfg file to add liveries any more. Liveries go in the community foler like verything else, and the aircraft.cfg file is part of the livery's folder..

Vicki "little boat"? Great name, Pam! I was part owner of a Cal-20 sailboat named "Chalupa". Fun times on San Francisco Bay! Now back to getting those aircraft and repaints in the correct location! :encouragement:
 
Rick, check any of the upgrade planes, like the C152 Aerobat or the steam Cessna. Those don't have an aircraft.cfg in their folders.

OzWookie mentioned something I haven't had a chance to look into yet in another thread about not needing the aircraft.cfg file. Apparently Asobo published something about how to use another file to fill in the necessary data for liveries for premium planes. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, though.

I haven't looked at the new 787 stuff yet, it seems like from discussion you can do more than just install in the "official" directory.
