sholay 5 Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 Hi, I have seen this topic several times on the forum but I have not found any conclusive answer. I got Twin Otter Extended yesterday and wanted to load some extra liveries. I dowloaded several liveries (example below). When I run AS Livery Manager and hit 'Add Livery' button I keep getting message like "Sorry, this file cannot be installed". When i tried drag&drop method, new window pops up, but no preview is generated and AS LM gets stuck. Note: I am matching livery to aircraft version, I tried this with several files dowloaded from your site, Susi is just example. Please let me know what details you may need to troubleshoot. AS Livery Manager version: livman 1.2.0.0 Windows 10 Thanks, Andrzej ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted November 24, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 24, 2018 The repaints you can download, zip files, must follow a certain file structure to work with the Livery Manager. If they dont do so you have to install them manually. This should be desrcibed in a readme file within the zip file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sholay 5 Posted November 24, 2018 Author Share Posted November 24, 2018 Thanks for quick response. I do understand that livery createor has to create a zip with proper file structure to allow AS Livery Manager to upload it to FSX. I do understand that even liveries available on Aerosoft site may be community created and not necessarily follow AS LM requirements. It is still a bit suprising that I dowloaded randomly 9 liveries and none worked with AS LM. Would someone be able to point me to a link with 'valid' livery so I can see the AS LM working? & Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted November 24, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted November 24, 2018 Obviously they were not designed to work with it. As Otto already told you, there should be some instructions on how to install them manually with the downloaded file. Just follow them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sholay 5 Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share Posted November 25, 2018 I know I can install them manually. However I paid 34 EUR for software package which consists of several items, including Livery Manager. I cannot see it working. have read several threads on this support forum. All I found are workarounds and explanations why some liveries do not work with LM. This is fine, I do get it. All I ask now is one example of a livery I could download and apply to my new and shiny DHC-6. Regards, Andrzej Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
