Hello everyone,
I created the Liverie folder for the A320 according to the old pattern, i.e. in Community the folder Liveries A320 and in this all individual folders are stored with model and texture directory and a common Aircraft.cfg where all 220 aircraft are listed. So 1 folder in Community for all A320 liveries!
Now I actually planned to do the same with all other models because it seems to make the most sense to put all Liveries from one Aircraft type in one Folder! … But, now Asobo has changed all the necessary files for the planes from the Premium and Deluxe versions.
To protect them from piracy so is it not longer possible to copy them to standart editions, at least that’s how I read it here in the forum. That means there are e.g. with the 787 no Aircraft.cfg anymore because everything seems to be encrypted somehow. The same now applies to all the people who make an effort and make mods to make the aircraft more realistic. The people can now do nothing with the great work they have started and do not get any further.
It is a shame that Asobo chose the way to encrypt and lock the files about aircraft from the versions!
I wish that this change in the file system is reversed and that the copy protection is designed in such a way that the files can still be edited and improved by the modders.
E.g. Asobo could make a query in the basic package that you can only install an entire premium or deluxe package with the check for ownership and authenticity (possibly registration number) and no individual aircraft that were copied from an existing package, something must be possible without the whole to destroy the work of many,
“Please Asobo changes your copy protection so that the files of the aircraft continue to be used for mods and liveries, etc. can be used!”
