I was wondering if the repaints for the FSX PMDG aircraft would work for the ones that they have published as being for Prepar3D? I tried to place this under the Prepar3D topic but I didn't have the permissions to use it.

I don't have P3D but I'm guessing repaints should work as long as the original PMDG aircraft works. Shouldn't hurt to try.

Sorry about that. I didn't have this new forum's permissions set correctly. Should be good now and I have moved the topic to the P3D forum. Let me know if you still have trouble posting to this forum.

I'm using the Aerosoft A320 repaint and PMDG B738 repaint in P3D and they both work great.

I downloaded all the repaints that applied to PMDG and installed them per instructions. The 737 and 777 repaints work fine as well as the A-320. I checked and double checked the SAX PMDG 747 Paint installations and they do not show up inPrepar3D. I copied and pasted as instructed and then added the data to the aircraft.cfg in the proper folders: The PMDG 747-400 and the PMDG 747-440F.

Any suggestions on how to fix the problem.

Peter,

I don't have P3D, perhaps someone with it will be able to help. The only difference I see is that it's PMDG. Wonder if they somehow changed how the liveries are installed in P3D for their aircraft. In FSX one should have a texture.[livery name] folder for each livery and a section in the aircraft.cfg for each livery. Each of those sections is titled [fltsim.x] where x is a number between 0 and the number of liveries. In each section there a line

texture=

where one would have the livery folder name for that livery. For example if the texture folder is named texture.sax, then the line should read

texture=sax

Please double check the names match.

Hi Dave,

I followed your instructions and checked. Everything is as you instructed. I don't know what to do as I have again looked at the instructions and checked them out as well. The PMDG 747 is the only aircraft I couldn't get to display in the select vehicle display.

Thank you for the information.

Peter,

Sorry. There's a tool that may be helpful. See here, but let me caveat that with saying that we are not endorsing that tool nor provide support. I don't really know if it would work.

I found this on the PMDG website. Maybe something here might help.
