For one valid avenue, see my response prior to the one that you quoted - that'll allow you to download the liveries by way of the same process that OC2 used 😉

I did offer to host the PTPs for PMDG to distribute throughout the remaining P3D community-base and unfortunately they said the liveries are copyrighted. I'm unsure as to who exactly is the copyright holder, since the liveries will have been contributed by many different livery makers, but that is the response I was given.

Hopefully this is allowed. In a similar fashion to VHOJT, I've prepared a Python script which will download the liveries from PMDG's CDN in the same way that OC2 did. Feel free to review the source of run.bat and src/main.py. PMDG: you did ask that nobody redistribute the liveries and, in the legal sense, I'm not redistributing them. However, if you'd like for me to pull this script down then please let me know here or tag me in your Discord server. I've shared this because, frankly, the PTP extractors are a bigger concern in my view since they expose a private password used by PMDG. To run: Simply install Python (you'll be prompted to do so if the script doesn't detect it) and then launch run.bat https://drive.proton.me/urls/A5T2W02BRM#qZ2nqWKkkczo Frankly, I'm frustrated with PMDG's poor communication around the impact this change would've had and I didn't expect the offline PTP livery installation functionality to be impacted.

I've decided to register after seeing this thread. It's great to see this issue being discussed somewhere. Although I don't own 2024, I have flown the tech alpha and have watched many streams as this behaviour absolutely is noticeable across streams and videos. I do own 2020 which I picked up when it launched. Having flown a real Cessna 172, that's my only baseline to compare against. MSFS 2020 has always been extremely twitchy, wobbly and sensitive on pitch across all aircraft - including the C172. It gets worse with faster speed with heavier aircraft that fly like they're near weightless. It was very disappointing to try out the 2024 tech alpha only to discover the same issue with pitch being far too sensitive even with 25%, 50%, 80% and 100% curves on a Honeycomb Alpha, Boeing TCA Yoke and on a RealSimulator FSSB. That same behaviour is more than obvious in any streamer videos that I've seen from Squirrel, V1, Kip, While I appreciate different hardware will behave differently (hence why I tested 3 that I own), if every other game/sim (X-Plane, DCS, IL-2, Falcon BMS) behaves as expected across a variety of aircraft while MSFS demonstrates a silly twitchy behaviour on all aircraft - that ultimately is a problem of the one sim, MSFS in this case. Incidentally, the A2A Comanche is the only aircraft in 2020 which flies like an actual plane.
