Ray,Make sure you have the Livery Manager installed. If you don't I believe it's available on the PMDG website as well. You can download the liveries either from the PMDG liveries page or off the AVSIM library. All of them will be in a zip file format. Extract the ptp file in the downloaded zip file to a folder where you want to store your liveries. Then in livery Manager click on "Select Livery to Install" button. That will prompt you for selecting the ptp livery file. Just go to where you extracted it to and select the file. The Livery Manager will then install it and you will see it in the list and in FSX where you can choose it to fly.

I am also attempting to add new liveries to my new PMDG 737ngx program. I carefully followed the instructions for the Livery Manager, and did open as 'Run as Administrator'. However, the liveries are not showing up. They seem to be added ok in the program (C:Program Files (x86)Microsoft GamesMicrosoft Flight Simulator XSimObjectsAirplanesPMDG 737-800NGX WL), but no new airplane choices appear when I open up Flt Sim x,, only the four basic PMDG appear as choices. Appreciate any help. tundrabum
