Getting Liveries to Work

As you all know in Beta 3 we have now made our mod it’s own aircraft rather than modifiying the base version. This was done for a number of reasons, the first it allows us to move into working on parts of the exterior/interior modelling, undertaking deeper systems modelling, and creating our hangar module, and second it helps with fixing some conflicts with other mods that work on the G36 as well.

With this change it does mean that liveries and text changes made to the default G36 won’t work straight out the box and will require some editing to make work with our aircraft.

Instructions on how to make liveries and/or textures to work are shown below:

For Aircraft Liveries

  1. Download the livery as you would normally and install following the authors instructions.

  2. Once installed, locate the aircraft.cfg file in the livery mod folder and open in a text editor.

  3. Locate the line: base_container = "..\Asobo_Bonanza_G36" and rename this to base_container = "..\Bonanza_G36_Improvement_Project" not forgetting to save.

  4. Locate the model.cfg file in the livery model folder and open in a text editor.

  5. Locate the line: exterior=../../Asobo_Bonanza_G36/model/Bonanza_g36.xml and rename this to exterior=../../Bonanza_G36_Improvement_Project/model/Bonanza_g36.xml

  6. Locate the line: interior=../../Asobo_Bonanza_G36/model/Bonanza_g36_interior.xml and rename this to interior=../../Bonanza_G36_Improvement_Project/model/Bonanza_g36_interior.xml

  7. Update the layout.json file to reflect any changes to folder structure etc

  8. Load the sim and check the livery is working

For mods that change things like cockpit textures or panel textures etc the instructions are slightly different.

  1. Download the texture pack as you would normally and install following the authors instructions.

  2. Locate the aircraft folder in Community\your new texture mod folder name \SimObjects\Airplanes\Asobo_Bonanza_G36

  3. Change the Asobo_Bonanza_G36 name to Bonanza_G36_Improvement_Project

  4. Update the layout.json file to reflect the folder structure change.

  5. Load the sim and check the livery is working

Hopefully these instructions help, essentially you need to change the reference to Asobo_Bonanza_G36 to Bonanza_G36_Improvement_Project wherever you find it.

You may also need to check load order if the livery isn’t loading into the sim. Your texture mod will need to load after our mod now - I will remove the z from our folder name for the next release.

And finally, if nothing else works check the layout.json file to ensure it matches the changes you’ve made.
