I clicked on uninstall. I then removed the msfs livery tools folder from program files(x86) and reinstalled 1.6.3.
- Open msfs livery tools.
- click on new project.
- select new folder on secondary ssd.
- click on aircraft tab.
- choose location of payware aircraft>sim objects>model.
- click Extract textures, opens up window and I navigate to model folder within sim objects. Very first 3d file is 1kb. I click that
and the program goes grey. I still can click on project, aircraft, and registration tabs, but extract textures, convert dds file, are
all greyed out. - Exit program after 2 minutes. click yes when asked to save project? Yes. Program exits.
- Folder is 85 bytes in size. 1/2 kb.
- I attempt it all over again. This time I open project. Then link directory with “choose” button. And extract 2nd file which is 1.4 mb in size. Once again
all tabs are greyed out except for project, aircraft, and registration. But I can’t input any text because the fields are greyed out.
The installation directory is on my system ssd with uac permission. The project folder is on my third ssd without uac permission. Ok. I copied the plane from directory to third ssd without uac permission. I made new folder for fa18 super hornet. You can see in images after extraction program greys out. Then all I can click on is uv map or help. Click on uv map and nothing happens. Lets see if I can post pictures.
program does not extract textures from .dds files. Last image is from “textures” and only show’s .png files.
