August 8, 201114 yr So if you purchased the NGX on the first day do we still need to do this even though I have unchecked read only and are having absolutely no problems?
August 8, 201114 yr Thanks for the support Ryan! I finally got the manager working after 4 days! These liveries are great! *Knock on wood* Dylan Jutagir
August 8, 201114 yr So if you purchased the NGX on the first day do we still need to do this even though I have unchecked read only and are having absolutely no problems? Same question here. I purchased it 2 hours after it was released. When I installed the liveries thru the manager (I believe it was Friday or Saturday), I received a "read only..." prompt, clicked on something (I can't remember what...yes/no choice), and the installed the files. I havent checked all of them, but my Southwest and Delta (both -800WL) seem to be fine. Am I exempt from having to do anything? Ron Priever
August 9, 201114 yr I made the new folder but when I save the livery into the folder it doesn't show up. Also, I uninstalled and reinstalled the NGX but the Read Only problem still appeared. That is why I am following these directions. Regards,Woody Stratton Mills
August 9, 201114 yr The download cfg file fix seems the same in content as the original texture cfg's . The only difference is the read only attribute. I unchecked the read only on all the texture cfg's and the Livery Manager worked perfectly on the installations. Ryan and the crew worked so hard to give us this state of the art 737ngx but he (and they) worked equally hard to help their customers have a satisfying Sim experience. Where else can you get this sheer ability and dedication? Jack Hancock
August 9, 201114 yr Hi PMDG, I know this isn't a big thing on your to do list but is there any chance when you get a moment to fix this SAS paint? For some reason it really bugs me. -Travis "For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skywards, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

August 9, 201114 yr There's a shed-load of people who would disagree with you on that. All I'm saying is this what happened to me. I used that site to update my fsx.cfg file, then FSX failed to even run. I cured it by going back to my original file. If I offered to 'improve' your china teapot and did so by smashing it to pieces and then giving it back to you, you would feel a bit like I did. -- X-Plane, Mac OS, XSB
August 9, 201114 yr Ryan--I did everything like you said. I did a clean install of NGX, downloaded from site again, set up livery file, downloaded the liveries to it, all new, opened them in it, then opened the manager. I still get " textures already loaded"....but they are not. I did this twice, making sure I was following your instructions. No luck. Am I doing something wrong? All I really want is AAL ....any suggestions? Also, thanks for a great product!!

August 9, 201114 yr I think after you uninstall you have to go back and delete the rest of the files manually (in simobjects) If memory serves. -Scotty

August 9, 201114 yr You are right Scotty! That worked! Just uninstall NGX then go into simobjects /airplanes and take out what was left. The 800WL and 900WL files were still there. Re-install NGX and then install liveries! I still open txt's in a livery file on desktop. They are all working... Sorry Ryan, I missed a step......

August 9, 201114 yr Hello, I didnt start installing liveries until last night 8.8.11 but not all of them, but I have noticed something odd on the Austrian and American airways livery to name but two, where you normally see the centre cone of the N1 fan has a white spiral showing the fan spinning, these two liveries have a large blob of white paint on the cone. Is this a normal feature. richard welsh. Richard Welsh
August 9, 201114 yr TCS..The fix for duplicate objects is actually pretty easy.. Delete the objects its mentioning in the error message.. You can do it while the error is being displayed, and since it only removes one set of objects, your others will be fine..
August 9, 201114 yr Hello RaynSorry about posting a problem a small one, Ok I reinstalled the NGX with clean and new download few hours, I followed the liveries installation instructions, the 800, 900, 900WL all installed correctly, regarding the 800WL I installed like 5 liveries together only got one UA right, and for AA, DL, AS & BL it doesn't show any, If I try to install the missing ones I get an error says that texture folder already exists and asking to enter a new texture folder bellow on the list, it shows a file name "texture.aa" ?So any suggestionsBy the way amazing and beautiful plane it drives my nuts :) Alaa A.

August 9, 201114 yr Guys, I'm really sorry - I screwed up on part of this guide last night. (this is what I get for writing it at 4AM last night after 16 hours of support work) Some of you are going to have to reinstall the plane if you deleted the texture.vc and texture.common and texture.900 folders. Great, I took your advice in good faith and deleted the files you asked me to, including the textures.900 folder. I actually kept the folder so will it work if I just place it back where it came from? If so please let me know if I have to reinstall the NGX? If i do, does that involve a new download and reactivation? If so please let me know how this is done? -- X-Plane, Mac OS, XSB
