PSXT is showing wrong installation path for liveries..

[Flic1]

I noticed today that when I open PSXT, it is defaulting to the original installation location and not my custom location so it will not find my liveries.  If I change it and hit enter, it works but it does not save.  It was working fine up until using it today.  Thanks for any help!

Are you talking about the Community path?  If so 2020 or 2024? Store or Steam?

Post your Log.txt pls.

Hi - Yes, I am referring to the Community folder path.  I have the Steam version of 2024 and have moved my community folder to 'C:| MSFS 2024'

PSXT does not find that okay, it must end with \Community ... (see the Manual page 9). That's why it did not save that and because of a bug in 9.0.3 it took your liveries from MSFS 2020. You should have noticed this message at the bottom of the GUI:

"This path exists but is not a path to Community ..."

Switch to 9.0.4 and change your Community folder to C:\MSFS 2024\Community

Thanks, still not having any luck after updating and trying to add the path.  It initially says 'path found' but then reverts to the old path and I get a '53: no liveries found' error.

I can get it to work now when I put my path in 'C:\MSFS 2024' without 'Community' but it still will not remember that setting the next time I run it.

Oh boy. Now I see, the MSFS 2024 install path parameter was not read at all at start up.  Now fixed in 9.0.7. Thx for your persistence.

I have also changed this for more clarity:

UI: changed the wording Community into Install path, because that is what it actually is. PSXT is looking for the full path up to the Community folder. When entering a path you may end with \Community or not. PSXT will always show it without \Community.
