How to install liveries on default planes?

[SuperSexySelma]

I've played XP11 for a while,
I want something new, like different liveries / plugins, I watched so many youtube tutorials, i tried them all, but it just don't work.

Someone an idea how to do this?

Some are easier to do than others. I just do it the long way (the one that works). I copy and paste a livery folder, rename it and then just whack the normal texture files into Photoshop (other programmes work too), add things to the surfaces etc., export it, and see what it looks like in plane maker.

Takes a long time to get right, but it seems to work.

yeh, I downloaded a B737-800 livery of British Airways, extracted it, copy past into X-Plane 11 -> Aircraft -> Laminar Research -> Boeing B737-800 -> liveries. then starting the game, it shows only the 4 default airline skins

Oh do that with them - sorry. I don't have access to a computer at the moment, but I think when you extract the folder, you get another folder inside. That folder inside has to go in the livery folder. So it will be something like ...\Boeing B737-800\liveries\BA livery\lots of files and folders

Try seeing if other liveries work - it could be just the one-off.

It doesn't seems to work, same with plugins, even if I replace the delta skin for BA liverie. on this screenshot you will see in wich folder I installed the liveries http://imgur.com/a/Puqh0

Could you have more than one Xplane installation?

Is the livery you unpacked for the 737-800 specifically for the default B737?

You have to install it in programfiles (x86) if you have the same problem

Do you mean, how do you install liveries to the default aircraft that came with X-Plane?

If so, just head over to your X-Plane 11 root folder, go to Aircraft/Laminar Research OR Extra Aircraft/(Aircraft name)/liveries/then drag and drop the new livery to that folder if you downloaded it.

If you meant creating your own livery and exporting it to X-Plane, I don’t know either, I’ve tried doing it but it still shows the American Airlines livery when I open the simulator.

You can make your own livery using Photoshop, GIMP or any other photo-editing program that supports .dds files. You can download NVIDIA’s free DDS plugin for Photoshop, too.

Download any blank livery, then open the .dds files inside it (fuselage.dds, etc.) and edit it as needed. After that, you just have to save the edited imaged as .png files and delete the original .dds files inside the objects folder.
