747 Liveries (Assistance Required)

Quote from Qantas 10

Please can somebody help me. I have tried to install the user made liveries for the 747 on AFS4, but cannot get them to work. The A320 livery for Qantaslink works fine. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated?

Some liveries are developed for FS2 and are not compatible for FS4 due to differentiations of file structure. The way I worked around it for the A320 is:

1. Duplicate a default livery (I used the Lufthansa one, but any should work)

2. Download the livery (I used the new Airbus house livery)

3. Move the files in the Airbus livery folder to the duplicated Lufthansa livery, overwrite when prompted.

The reflections and textures could be a bit funny, and it might not work for all liveries, create a backup and perform with care.

Hi Qantas10,

Here is the solution, if it helps you
Then all your liveries for the 747 should display normally.

RE: IPACS - Missing textures?

Hi,

Unfortunately there is no way back as the renaming of the textures was mandatory. However you (or the repainter) just need to rename the textures of the repaints according to the new names and everything will just work fine.

Just open the folders and compare the names. Basically one simple change needs to be made:

Just add "_744" behind the "ext??" of the filenames. For example "ext01_fuselage_color.ttx" will be "ext01_744_fuselage_color.ttx"

No need to open the files, as the content is…
