cannot install new liveries for the tundra version

Hi, I recently purchased the Twin Otter Extended and after a bit of getting used to its flight dynamics I really love it! Now I wanted to install some new liveries. The livery managed only produced error messages so I installed them manually by copying the texture folder and then adding the text in the readme files to the aircraft.cfg. This worked fine for the wheels version, but it didn`t work with the tundra version and I don`t know why. My aircraft.cfg looks like this:

[Fltsim.0]
title=Aerosoft DHC-6 300 Tundra PAX
sim=DHC-6.300.T
model=3bladetundrapax

.....

Only the first two liveries (Norlandair and Inuit Air) that where delivered by Aerosoft show up in the aircraft selection screen, the others don`t. I did exactly the same thing with several liveries for the wheels version, and all the liveries show up in the Aircraft seletion screen without any problems. So it does seem to be a problem with the tundra version. Does anybody know what I could do?

Thanks,

Fabian

EDIT: I just noticed that after manually adding the liveries, they now show up in the Aerosoft Livery Manager for the Twotter, but STILL not in the aircraft selection screen within Prepar3d.

Hello Fabian,

first of all, are you sure that your liverys are compatible with the version of the aircraft you want to install them for?

Looking at your config, the paints you added have the following line:

ui_type="DHC-6-300 Wheels"

Change "Wheels" into "Tundra". Other than that, I see nothing wrong in your config-file. Also make sure you have "Show all variations" checked at the bottom of the aircraft selection screen. But like Emi said, it could well be that those paints weren't made for the Tundra-version and the author has made a mistake in the config-file he provided.
