• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FS2004 Not able to make "STATIC LIVERIES" work

I’m in the final phase of completing my new aircraft at least the cosmetic part of it.
The one last thing I need to figure out is the STATIC LIVERIES.
The aircraft, a glider to be more precise, is build with a NONE modular packages approach, doesn’t need to, there are no variants!
I have read the SDK “Static Liveries” documentation for it and for the life of me I can’t get it to work!
I CAN NOT get the exterior base model to load in the Livery configuration UI of the game.
I have my basic model/ and texture/ folder plus I added as described in the SDK doc a model.livery_01/ and texture.livery_01/ folder and have configured the model.cfg and exterior.xml inside the model.livery_01/ folder. I also have configured the aircraft.config accordingly.
So once in the game when I go to Configure my aircraft and choose Livery, I see my two options, base and livery_01.
When I click on Livery_01, it only loads the interior and the exterior livery geometry from the gltf in the model.livery_01/ folder, it DEOS NOT load the exterior base model.
Hope I was clear in describing my problem!
I think the problem lies in either my model.cfg or exterior.xml inside the model.livery_01/ folder.

model.cfg inside model.livery_01/ folder:
[model.options]
withExterior_showInterior=true
withExterior_showInterior_hideFirstLod=false
withInterior_forceFirstLod=true
withInterior_showExterior=true

[models]
exterior=aircraft_Livery_01.xml
interior=..\model\aircraft_interior.xml

aircraft_Livery_01.xml inside model.livery_01/ folder:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<ModelInfo guid="{3E9E8A4B-6D4C-4D91-9A6B-2F7C8E5A1D34}" version="1.1">
<LODS>
<LOD minSize="150" ModelFile="aircraft_Livery_01_LODx0.gltf"/>
</LODS>

<Behaviors>
<IncludeBase RelativeFile="..\model\aircraft_exterior.xml"/>
</Behaviors>
</ModelInfo>

That the SDK documentation section I'm going by:

Static Liveries

docs.flightsimulator.com docs.flightsimulator.com

Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks a lot.
