    It works now thank you both.
    The problem was that I had understood that the livery needed to be in this directory: /Users/<USERNAME>/Containers/com.aerofly.aerofly-fs-4-mac/Data/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4/addons/aircraft/c172

    But for me it need to be in this one:

    /Applications/Aerofly FS 4.app/Contents/Resources/aircraft/c172

    Because there was no c172 in the aircraft folder. And the option file was missing the (2016) part

    Now I think it should work in the future, thank you.

    IPACS recommends not using hyphens "-" in file and folder names. Therefore, the aircraft folder should be named "/hb_cit" instead of "/hb-cit".

    And now it depends on whether "hb_cit" is just a livery variant or an independent aircraft:

    • For a standalone aircraft there are files that must be the same as the directory, here is a copy from the FS 4 itself:

    • Bei livery-Variantenmuss man darauf nicht achten:


    Then maybe I have to frase it differently because when I follow this path (/Users/julienbosch-thomas/Library/Containers/com.aerofly.aerofly-fs-4-mac/Data/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4/addons/aircraft/c172/hb_cit) the aircraft folder is empty. The only folder with a c172 and other livery’s is the one in the system directory

    I have now changed the hyphen to an under score.

    Because does the livery for the c172 not have to go in the c172 aircraft folder ? The one with the default livery’s and the 3D model etc.

    If the folder does not exist yet, you must create it:

    • /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4/aircraft/c172

    Then insert the Liverie folder there:

    • /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4/aircraft/c172/hb_cit

    If the option.tmc folder is missing from the liveries, you will need to add it. You can do this by copying and pasting from another aircraft or create it yourself with a text editor, the code is:

    Code
    <[file][][]
    <[object][][]
        <[string8][Description][AIRCRAFT_REGISTRATION]>
        <[string8][Type][repaint]>
    >
>

    I replace AIRCRAFT_REGISTRATION with the registration of the model.

    Is this path correct?
    /Users/julienbosch-thomas/Library/Containers/com.aerofly.aerofly-fs-4-mac/Data/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4/addons/aircraft/c172/hb-cit

    I copied a option.tmc file into the hb_cit file and changed the description from blue waves to hb_cit, what do I have to do next because it doesn’t show up in the sim?

    If there are additions to aircraft already available in FS 4, then they must be included in the directory

    • /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4/aircraft.

    The subdirectory for the aircraft must then have exactly the same name as in FS 4, in the case of the C-172:

    • /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4/aircraft/c172

    That makes sense but there are no aircraft in the aircraft folder so where do I then have to put the livery ?

    The only place I can find folders for all the aircraft is on the system directory.

    For me it worked to simply copy FS 2 liveries to FS 4. Just try it, you can't break anything.

    Like this ? /Users/julienbosch-thomas/Library/Containers/com.aerofly.aerofly-fs-4-mac/Data/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4/addons/aircraft/C-172_HB-CIT_2016 1

    Yes, that goes in your user directory in one of the "aircrafts" folders. I do it like this:

    • /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4/addons/aircraft
      => for complete aircraft from third parties
    • /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4/aircraft
      => for additions (e.g. liveries) to FS 4 aircraft

    So for me that would be this path because the other one wasn’t working?

    /Users/<USERNAME>/Library/Containers/com.aerofly.aerofly-fs-4-mac/Data/Library/Application Support/Aerofly FS 4/addons/aircraft

    Because I tried putting a fs 4 addons plane in there and did not see it in the sim.

    And is it possible to covert a FS 2 livery FS 4? I would like to have this livery for the c172 (https://flight-sim.org/filebase/index…nt-hb-cit-2016/)

    As far as I can see those are the only 2 I would honestly not know where else to look

    The purpose of the FS 4 user directory is that it is independent of the FS 4 system files. This may have led to you deleting an FS 4 version, but not deleting the associated FS 4 user directory (this is not unusual for apps on the Mac, by the way).

    Now it's time to
    - find the "new" FS 4 user directory,
    - move the downloaded files there and
    - then enjoy FS 4.

    I’m sorry but what do you exactly mean by user directory?

    Quote from ApfelFlieger

    OK, and now you probably have 2 different user folders.

    If you only want to use 1 version of FS 4, then it is recommended to save the scenery data in the FS 4 user you are using.

    If you want to use both versions of FS 4, then it is recommended to save the scenery data
    - in the user folder of one FS 4 and
    - also access this user folder from the other FS 4.

    This can be stored in the main.mcf (see https://www.aerofly.com/dokuwiki/doku.…_scenery_folder)

    But I only have 1 version of FS4 The other one is gone

    I did first purchase it through steam and then refunded it and bought it through the App Store.

    I tried this but I still don’t see the airport
