April 2Apr 2 Hi Everybody, I will pay someone to make a video showing me how to select a livery for the pmdg 738 aircraft from within MS2024. I've now spent three days trying to find them. All I get from support is they are in the content manager. I have been in every menu I can find in 2024 and I have not been able to find these liveries.

April 2Apr 2 The organization of liveries in MSFS2024 is a huge annoyance and the PMDG file structure is particularly annoying. One shortcut I find helpful though is if you type the name of the airline, it will (depending on how the aircraft is named) often show you exactly which aircraft you need to click on to find the particular livery.

April 2Apr 2 I'm not near my flight computer at the moment, but if I remember correctly, you choose the aircraft, click on configure, and then you can select the livery? It has been a while since I have done this, so hopefully this is close. I do remember that in 2024 it is not very intuitive. Bryan OpalkaNoble Air - Americas Region

April 2Apr 2 If you installed liveries thru OC3 and you're not seeing them in FS2024 I'd check the Settings within OC3 and see if the paths are correct. My path points to the Community folder, not Community2024 (if that makes a difference.) -J 13700KF | RTX 4090 @ 1440 | 64GB DDR5 | 2 x 1TB SSDs | 1TB M.2 NVMe
April 2Apr 2 In your folder ...\Packages\Community\pmdg-aircraft-738-liveries there should be a layoutgenerator.exe Can you test if it works if you drag the exe file onto the layout.json as in the picture? https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qtlglpzeO1ykxkUubCxjNfOK4rsvQy41/view?usp=drive_link Anyway that behavior is not normal. When I install a livery it works automatically in FS24...

April 2Apr 2 If you go to \Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community\pmdg-aircraft-738-liveries there is a file called layout.json. Open it with notepad or Notepad++ and check the paths to the liveries. Also suggest you do a repair of the 738 in OC3 and see if that fixes the issue.

If all else fails, delete the 738, OC3 and erase their directories in Community. Start over. -J 13700KF | RTX 4090 @ 1440 | 64GB DDR5 | 2 x 1TB SSDs | 1TB M.2 NVMe
