How/where to add new liveries

I’m very interested in adding new liveries to Aerofly FS4. For me, liveries are an important part of the game. Thankfully, there are already some great files from the community. A big thank you to everyone who contributes!

Unfortunately, despite extensive searching, I haven’t been able to integrate the extracted files into FS4. As far as I understand, I’m supposed to place the files under Documents/Aerofly FS 4/aircraft. However, in my case, there are no files there—no aircraft at all. I’ve heard that in such cases, the specific aircraft needs to be "created" first. I tried that, but still no corresponding aircraft shows up.

But the files must be located somewhere on the PC, right? I would be very grateful if someone could help me out. Thank you so much!

All the best,
Michael

Thank you very much – that was very helpful.

What’s crucial is setting up the respective folder under the aircraft type. So, for example: aircraft/a320/azul_Disney

Just one more question: Is it correct that no preview image of the aircraft appears in the selection menu? preview.ttx and preview_small.ttx are included in the subfolder azul_Disney.

Edit: I found out that the preview file is only 1 KB in size in the cases where nothing is displayed. Obviously, there are no images behind it. In other cases, this file is larger, and a preview is shown.

Anyway, thanks again for the support—I really appreciate it!
