Adding a second set of models/liveries?

[verbal 106]

Love love LOVE this program, but have been noticing some plain white aircraft in a few different airports. 

Currently running FSLTL, but was also looking to throw AIG in there too. Tried yesterday via the parameter cfg but no cigar - extremely likely to be user error lol

Any tips on how this can be done?

Very simply, set the lfolder0 parameter to be the path to your primary livery folder (most use AIG), then set lfolder1 to point to your second livery folder (FSLTL, for example) and then set it to prioritize the liveries. The instructions for doing this are in the manual as well.

I think I know where I fell over - I had AIG (which is my second option) set as lfolder0 when it should have been lfolder1. 

Interesting though that I don't recall seeing any entry in the parameter.xml related to FSLTL?

Why don't you post your parameters.xml?

This file has no lfolder0/lfolder1 definitions and it looks like a stock parameters file.

Yep, but FSLTL models and liveries show up (mostly) without issue. 

[mmcmah 412]

It's set up for automatic scan of liveries, so they must be in the right place in your installation (at least where PSXT expects to find them).

That's right, but I cannot get AIG to show up or even be scanned by PSXT.

Have a look at the manual. Either it will find then and not prioritize them (if the AIG folder is in the same folder as the FSLTL folder) or you need to configure then manually.

See Manual chapter 5.

Just to be sure, you must install the AIG models/liveries in MSFS first, of course...

I still have P3D v5 installed with AIG, I have been trying to use those models and liveries.

Don't think that will work. You must run the AIG AI Manager and install the whole set in MSFS (takes about 4 hours).

Makes sense, thought I could take a little shortcut, but I think this will prompt me to uninstall P3D once and for all along with all the addons and AI etc. and reinstall AIG for MSFS. 

Is the general consensus that one AI pack is better suited to PSXT over another? If AIG covers more models and liveries than FSLTL then I will get rid of the latter. 

[kiek 1,215]

AIG gives you a lot more models and liveries. Most of them have registration codes, that together with the information in PSXT about the mapping of 25000 registration codes to the best AIG livery gives you a clear winner.

However, do not throw away FSLTL, as second priority it will give you a few missing models, such as the simple  C172.
