There are two ways to contact me. The best way is a personal message in our AEROSOFT forums (my user name is "Holgi"). Another way is to send an email to Holgi@SIMtexture.de with the subject REPAINT REQUEST. Nevertheless, I can not guarantee that I will be able to fulfill all requests. My family always has the first priority and I have to work too. ;-)

Please send an email to Holgi@SIMtexture.de with the subject VA REPAINT REQUEST. I try to answer as soon as possible.

Basics:
The Installation is very easy if you follow the steps below, even without a Livery Manager.

For information:
I explain the installation based on Lockheed Martin Prepar3D v4.5 which is installed on my F: drive. My add-ons are located in F:\P3D4 Add-ons. This description should also work for FSX or and other P3D versions as long as you properly adapt the folder locations to your PC.

Extract (unzip) the downloaded repaint archive file:
Copy the repaint archive from your download folder to a temporary directory (e.g. D:\Temp), then right-click it and select "Extract All" (see image 1). This unpacks the contents of the file into a subdirectoy of the temporary directory which has the name of the archive file. For example, A333_TURKISH_AIRLINES_TC-LOE (see image 2)

image 2

Now enter the newly created folder A333_TURKISH_AIRLINES_TC-LOE and copy the folder "texture.XXX" (XXX equals the aircraft′s registration, as marked in image 3) into your aircraft′s root folder (see image 4), which is F:\P3D4 Add-ons\Aerosoft A330 Professional\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft\Aerosoft A330 RR Professional\ on my PC here. On yours it can be slightly different.

Create entries for the aircraft.cfg:
The file (aircraft.cfg) can be found in the same directory:

F:\P3D4 Add-ons\Aerosoft A330 Professional\SimObjects\Airplanes\Aerosoft\Aerosoft A330 RR Professional\

The entries in the aircraft.cfg must be so that the simulator knows where the repaint′s textures are located. For this purpose, they are already prepared in the readme_for_installation.txt file. (see image 3 and image 5)

image 5

After opening readme_for_installation.txt in the Windows Notepad, select lines as shown in image 5 (selected lines are marked blue). Then select "Copy" from the "Edit" menu. (image 6)

image 6

Open the aircraft.cfg in Windows Notepad and paste the copied lines at the end of the already existing liveries. Image 8 explains how to find the end of the list. The file begins with the first livery and the entry [FLTSIM.0], the second the [FLTSIM.1]. On (image 7) you can see how far the [FLTSIM.4] goes and when the area of ​​the [FLTSIM.5] starts. In addition, I have colored the next ones, so you should also recognize the [FLTSIM.6] and [FLTSIM.7].

image 7

The end of the listing of all liveries begins with the new section [GENERAL]. There is the point at which you insert the new entry as described above in (Image 5). In this example I added the lines after [FLTSIM.17] and before [GENERAL]. (images 8 and 9)

image 8

The entry should now look like the in the following picture (image 9).

image 9

Before you save the changes, you should add the next number to [FLTSIM.X]. In this example, the X needs to be replaced with the "18" (see image 10). If you your last livery index is different than in this example, use yours, increment it by 1 and replace X with it. For example: if the last entry is [FLTSIM.5] replace the [FLTSIM.X] with [FLTSIM.6].

Now close and save the aircraft.cfg. Everything′s done.
