So why do they not appear when unpacked to community folder and I do not agree that msfs2020 is the easiest.

It is NOT complicated to install a livery file as already explained.above. I see in your short post history that you had various problems with FSX as well. I suggest you check YT for some simple tutorials on installing mods for MSFS.

Comment removed. The path to the Community folder differs between the Steam version and the Microsoft Store version.

I did not have problems with FSX which I have had for a long time

Since you can't be bothered to properly answer the questions asked to you nobody will be able to properly tell you that. You haven't answered Maki's questions about which DLC you are talking about (link!) nor did you answer if there's a folder named Community at your install location.

If you want people to help you, you have to make an attempt at providing the information necessary to do so.

I did reply and said that I did have the community folder

FSX/P3D is different. Installing addons for MSFS is very, very simple.

Alright so can you provide the link to what you're downloading?

Well, every single post of yours relating to FSX is about issues you were having with it and not about what a joy it was to fly a plane in it. Again though, Installing liveries is not difficult in MSFS 2020.

Go to flightsim.to : Pick a livery: Download to place of your choice: UNZIP the downloaded file: Open the newly unzipped file and make sure it contains another folder named SimObjects and two additional .JSON files. ( some may include a ContentInfo folder as well ) : Take newly unzipped file and drop in to the Community folder. Open game and select your new livery.

That is not to say that a newly installed livery can't be jived up and cause issues including not being visible in game. Try again. As long as the proper steps are followed you'll have tons of liveries in no time.

Barry,

Hit your Windows key on your keyboard and type,

%appdata%

..then hit enter.

In the file explorer window that appears, open the Microsoft Flight Simulator folder and find the file,

UserCFG.opt

Open that file with notepad and scroll all the way to the bottom, read the line that starts with

InstalledPackagesPath 

What path is listed?

Most of the problems with mods in FS 2020 are due to adding a new folder within a folder inside of the community folder. As in when you unzip it, it creates a folder within a folder. This will not work.

You cannot have

Community->TheMod->TheMod-><files>

It must be:
Community->TheMode-><files>

As has been said here the unzip process tends to create a new folder so that you don't unzip the contents into a root folder or something.

The PMDG 737-600 is kind of lame, it only has one livery? Lol. It can't even have the livery of those that fly to and from Area 51? I knew about it not having many but, only one?

Also, tell me. What do you think people would think 500 years ago around most of the planet, if you flew an airliner or something above them and then showed it to them and told them to reverse engineer it. How much of that would these people living 500 years ago be able to even reverse engineer and make something useful out of?

Also, why is it, culturally speaking, that someone would come up with a supernatural explanation of something they can't explain before a plausible one? Why is it that detractors have categorized aliens with werewolves, vampires, etc.? Is it fear? I think it's more than that, but that's the main component. Overall, it's a threat to humanity's status quo view of its relationship with the planet, nature, other "inferior" animals, etc. that they cannot begin to fathom something that turns that all upside down and is the opposite situation.

There is so much that all of a sudden, would go-out-the-window as it were.

Edited to add:
Not to mention, not even considering any "reverse engineering", just not thinking it's magical or something or not just by observing it. I would think if something is a superior species it might be more like comparing it to humans 10,000 years ago instead possibly. Humanity should have the humility to understand that (most of it doesn't).

Oh, sorry. Mick West (who?) says it's birds, or something.

Also if those UAPs are American tech, why are they being unprofessional and freaking out what should be other professionals? It's either China or ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ aliens.

Some dumb articles, often connected to the defense industry or government still (relying on biased sources), suggest that it is "probably" American tech though. They gave 0 logic to back it up, just a quote from somebody that is meaningless. I really enjoy sifting through and analyzing these nonsense "think-tank" articles and other random articles about this topic though, and as it turns out most of the ones downplaying or doubting it to a significant extent have nothing concrete whatsoever. The multiple eyewitness testimony, sensor data, footage, etc. I would call more concrete than sarcastically saying some line from a sci-fi franchise or something.

Edited again for spelling.
