February 28, 20242 yr I tried going to my settings for the Fenix Livery Manager to set it to my custom location so that I can use MSFS Addons Linker. But for some reason it's not working. Whenever downloading the liveries, it only shows up 2 json files. Anyone know how to properly set this up?

February 28, 20242 yr Hi captain420, What I did was download the Fenix liveries to the MSFS Community folder. I have MSFS data set up in folders on a different drive. So,I have a folder for the Fenix 320 and a folder for A320 liveries. Move the files from the Community folder to the new folders Check them off in the Addons Linker and it should load into the simulator ok. I hope that is helpful. Jim Morgan
February 28, 20242 yr Author Okay, move or copy the folder over to the new location? If you move the original folder, then when you download new liveries using the Fenix Livery Manager, it won't find the folder to download the liveres to I'm assuming? Also could you try downloading the United liveries? For some reason whenever I download those, it won't show up in MSFS for me. Other liveries show up fine though. Thanks for your help.

February 28, 20242 yr All I did was - after installation of the new Block 2 - cut & paste the FNX-Liveries folder from out of the Community folder, and paste it in my Addon Linker folder. Then activate / deactivate as required. Works perfectly. (and the same I did with the actual FNX aircraft folder too).

Just have to remember to activate addons in addons linker before trying to update them (e.g. scenery, aircraft) 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 64GB DDR5

February 29, 20242 yr If I drag the fnx_liveries or whatever it is called into my addon linker folder and enable it from there, will it create the sym_links for that folder on my second hard drive? So that the liveries I DL from the Fenix app show up there? Also, it looks like JViation is putting a lot of his B2 liveries from the app on FSTO.

So that the liveries I DL from the Fenix app show up there? Exactly. As long as any addon/livery/scenery/etc is enabled in addons manager, it will be active in community folder via symlink. No matter which driver the addon is located on. Edited February 29, 20242 yr by Cpt_Piett 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 64GB DDR5

I'm not at my computer, but aren't there folders within the livery folder that you can select individually for the liveries you downloaded?

With B2, all the liveries are combined into one folder in the community folder. The folder name is fnx-aircraft-320-liveries. To be able to install/remove liveries from Livery Manager, the folder has to be present in the community folder. When using addons linker, it's important that fnx-aircraft-320-liveries is active whenever Livery Manager is used. 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 64GB DDR5
February 29, 20242 yr i have the fenix liveries installed in addons linker like the addon image , but liveries doesn't appear in game

For B2 to recognize them they have to be inside the fnx-aircraft-320-liveries folder, though.. Not sure how to do this with AddonLinker, but I'm quite sure it's possible (because it's a great tool). For transparency: I'm a community mentor at the BATC discord. However, I do not get paid for it in any way.

It’s possible but not that intuitive with B2. See my post above. 7950X3D | RTX 4090 | 64GB DDR5
