No they need to be converted to the new file format.

The fun is being sucked out of me too. Especially with the default aircraft. The work involved just to get a 3d paintable model ready is time consuming. If it's a 3rd party aircraft sometimes it can still have a basic layout doable in 2d but even that's going by the way side. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |

September 15, 2025Sep 15 "No they need to be converted to the new file format. And since 2024 Dynamic reg is broken we'd need to add custom hand painted registrations " > You sure about that Ryan? After updating the TBM-850 yesterday, Dynamic reg is working for me in 2024 using the option on the tablet. I have not downloaded the Duke updates yet, but we might want to check on the Dynamic Registrations before deciding that they are still fully broken. "I've had a good innings with painting but I've now hung up my brushes. The fun went out of it." > Unfortunately for me as well. Even with the conversion tool, I am out of business with 2024 repaints because it still requires the 2024 SDK to convert the textures, and I can not install the SDK because I am still on Win10 (at least I presume that is why I cant install it). Sad, because that was one of the most enjoyable parts of FS in the past. Too bad they don't offer an ability for backwards compatibility, like they promised they would. 😞 Kerry W.

Works fine also. But you still have to copy over and adapt the rest like the json files etc. But yeah I'm with the rest here. Did paints for a very long time but fun is something different nowadays.

September 15, 2025Sep 15 When aircraft add-ons like this one are described as MSFS 2024 compatible, does that mean it works in FS24, but it only takes advantage of the FS20 SDK or does it indicate that it takes full advantage of the updated flight model, etc.?

September 15, 2025Sep 15 @Tim-HH Thanks Tim for updating the liveries. If you are contemplating doing more, let me put in a special request for the modern elegance of N422SB. @ryanbatc And Ryan, any chance of your wonderfully lively N2889W? 😎 --Mike MacKuen

September 16, 2025Sep 16 Hello, I have just installed last version 1.2 but is it normal i have just 2 liveries for Duke piston stock N28HD and N43DH? It seems there was much more liveries in 1.1! Do you have the same? For Duke piston Grand Duke i have 5 liveries N18VK, N122SP, N321JF, N339CL, N440CM Thanks to tell me if it is normal for only 2 liveries Duke piston stock N28HD and N43DH..and 5 liveries for Grand Duke.. Jérôme Dietsch
September 16, 2025Sep 16 That's correct. I've only kept the Grand Duke and only one livery. Same for the Turbine. One is a 'plenty.
