HOW DO I INSTALL LIVERIES

[pmolina2000]

Hello guys, I have the game installed in disk D, steam and windows data are in disk C.
The problem is that when I want to install a livery if I install it in %appdata% packages community folder, it does not work. Also in the game folder in disk D/common/steamapps it doesnt work either it does not appear a community in package folder there!

Hope you can help, thanks in advance

There are a few which are used to replace the AI Planes and you will notice how the Folder is different with one labelled "Textures" instead of "SimObjects" (in this case don't install without instructions given). Some don't mention how to install these but it would require some further file replacing after backing up. e.g. the Emirates 747-8i Cargo Skin.
If installing on a 2nd Drive as you are then just Open the ZIP Folder (no need to use Extract to even) then just drag the main Folder within with the Plane Name to here: -

D:\Steam\steamapps\common\MicrosoftFlightSimulator\Packages\Community

I recommend Liveries Mega Pack Manager. Great to to automatically download and install liveries you choose, for quite impressive selection of Mega Pack. The beauty here is you don't have to download full pack. You can select the ones you like (pictures included in manager), and download only these.

Has anyone experienced this issue after the recent updates (UK ones)? I mistakenly chose to verify the game files via Steam when I had errors before, so I downloaded the game from scratch including the newest updates. Added same old mods and tried some new ones, but none showed up. I believe all are just liveries/skins (all I see is SimObjects folders) so I don't think I need to replace any files. If anyone can help, it will be much appreciated. Thanks!

Guessing one (or more) of those old mods is now a problem. Remove them all and then start by just adding one of the new ones in and see if it appears in-game. Then go from there until you weed out all the problem ones.

I can't find my community folder, can I just create one along the 4 other existing folder?

The folder is in the location that you installed MSFS. If you didn't change this it should be like this...

C:\Users\xxxx\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Community

Drop them in Community.

Run the game, go to options at the top of the main menu --> general --> developers. Switch on developers mode
Once it's switched on there should be a new tool bar at the top of the screen. click on tools --> Virtual File System. This should open a small window, click on "Watched Bases" and it will tell you where the community folder is.

I spent about 40 minutes on Google/YouTube looking for this. This is all people have to say. The internet should have never gone mainstream. It's now full of cretins who don't know what they're talking about and don't read what they are replying to. Might as well ask a chatbot where the folder is. You'll have more luck getting the correct answer.

It's all in the very first response to the OP. ;-)
