Taxiing at KJFK (see attached images). Note the parked aircraft in generic liveries. I had purchased a North American A320 Livery pack, but that’s it.
What’s the best way to replace these generic liveries?

If you’re on PC, easiest solution to install is FSLTL, which will give you tons of real-livery traffic planes. https://www.fslivetrafficliveries.com/
A more complex solution but one that includes an even wider variety of planes and many, many custom liveries (such as one-off special liveries for airlines jets) is AIG’s AI Manager and Traffic Controller. Takes a bit more work to install and to figure out the user interface, but there’s more variety of traffic than FSLTL and it’s better if you fly in parts of the world where it’s night when you’re flying, since FSLTL uses real-time traffic and AIG uses schedules that will adjust to local sim time.

For Xbox, I think the only solution right now is LatinVFR’s “Airport Static Traffic,” which doesn’t include flying planes, but at least populates airports with realistic liveries.
Turn static parked aircraft slider to zero. I have FSLTL it does nothing for this. FSLTL applies liveries to AI aircraft not the static models.
That, and make sure you’ve got all the generic model matching turned off, and either/or/and(?) FSLTL’s traffic generator & built in live traffic - both take time to populate but eventually they’ll fill a place ( if it’s somewhere like Heathrow, painfully so… ). I have FSLTL & AIG models installed, don’t see any generics when I use it, and ironically hardly ever turn anything on except MP traffic which quite often shows as a generic 
Downloaded FSLTL and it worked beautifully, though at a 25%-35% frame rate reduction from default traffic.

Lower the ammount of traffic FSLTL is injecting into the sim. Traffic is the number one fps killer. The more you put into the simulation, the more your framerate will suffer. The trick is to find a compromise between realistic traffic levels and performance.
