Repaint/Livery Question

[FlameOut]

Could anyone tell me how to fix this problem?

I like everyone here has a multitude of repaints in their Community Folder. I have (2) liveries that appear to over-write the main model displaying in the aircraft selection UI of MSFS.

This one for the 40th. Anniversary DC-3 and this one for the 40th. Anniversary A310-300

I've already fooled around with the aircraft.cfg for the DC-3 and the A310-300 appears to be locked.

Would it be in the mainfest.json or the layout.json? files that the repainter supplied with his/her texture set?

Thanks,

- Don

I'll be watching this, too.

I believe the first livery (alphabetical) is displayed.

The layout.json is just a listing of the files, and the manifest is market info. Both are actually xml format and can be opened in any text/code editor.

I Remember that in FS9, FSX, & P3D it was the Title= *** line that controlled how the UI displayed the aircraft in alphabetical order as you stated.

This is what the repainter supplied in his/her aircraft cfg.

I put that big ol' Z in there thinking that would put this DC-3 livery to the back of list, but it didn't work.
Do I have to put the "Z" in front of the DC-3 like this: ZDC-3 .............. of course, it is a regular size capital Z

@ Brytskiva,

The repainter's supplied folder set for this repaint has (2) subfolders the folder named "dc3-thatsallbrother-Retro" did indeed have a model folder within it, so I moved it out to my desktop. I did not amend anything to the aircraft.cfg. file in this folder that dealt with the: Model="cargostd" section, I left that unaltered.

Removing that model folder only caused the aircraft not to show up in my aircraft Hanger and only gave me the (3) external lights in the MSFS simulation

Maybe I have to edit the aircraft.cfg file to read: Model=""

I'll revist this when I get off work this evening.

Thanks,

- Don

@ Brytskiva,

The repainter's supplied folder set for this repaint View attachment 89195 has (2) subfolders View attachment 89196 the folder named "dc3-thatsallbrother-Retro" did indeed have a model folder within it, so I moved it out to my desktop. I did not amend anything to the aircraft.cfg. file in this folder that dealt with the: Model="cargostd" section, I left that unaltered.

Removing that model folder only caused the aircraft not to show up in my aircraft Hanger View attachment 89197 and only gave me the (3) external lights in the MSFS simulation View attachment 89198

Maybe I have to edit the aircraft.cfg file to read: Model=""

Yes Edit the Livery .cfg like there was no Panel. ------> Panel="" how to do with Model i´m not sure.

Nope!

Editing the aircraft.cfg of the "dc3-thatsallbrother-Retro" to read: Model="" gave me a static view looking forward from the cockpit .... I could not look left, right, up, down, or go to external view mode. I could not click on anything in the VC ... the mouse would not move, and I had to "Ctrl+Alt+Del" and shut it down via task manger.

I restored everything back to the original state and I'll have to live with it for now.

Thanks,
