you need to make sure that the livery in the community folder follows the fenix standards. Named as follows fnx-aircraft-320-xxxx. If you have a livery folder named like FNX_320_IAE_VLGMVN as I had gsx does not recognise it as a livery. I changed the folders name to fnx-aircraft-320-VLGMVN and voila.
If you do not see the created by gsx file inside the model folder it just means that gsx has created nothing. But it will work anyways.
If you do not have a model folder GSX will write an entry in the aircraft.cfg and create that model folder.
So 1 : make sure to have the airline icao entry in the aircraft.cfg
and 2. that the folder name in the community folder follows the fenix standards
I just think that this is something that the developers should explain clearly. It took me 2 hours to figure out the GSX logic on this.
I'm just about to give up... Have a 3d party livery. As it's a 3d party livery, is installed directly into the comunity folder (no addon linker). Just renamed the folder to fnx-aircraft-320-IAEFENIX (Fenix is the VA name). Also checked the aircraft.cfg contains the icao_airline line as shown below:
[VERSION]
major = 1
minor = 0
[VARIATION]
base_container = "..\FNX_320_IAE"
[FLTSIM.0]
title = "FNX_320_IAE_FENIX_2024"
texture = "FENIX"
model = ""
ui_variation = "FENIX"
atc_id = "EC-FNX"
atc_airline = "FENIX"
icao_airline = "FNX"
fnx_selcal_code = FNX
fnx_wifi_antenna_type = 0
// rest of the file omitted for lengh reasons //
Just went to GSX - Options and unchecked and checked the Seated Passengers option, but the model folder is not being created.
Is there anything I'm missing??
