*** FOR FSL A321 v5.0.100+ ONLY ***
This download is mandatory for liveries that are referenced by it as it contains shared common files that are required to change the appearance of common FSL A321 parts used in these repaints.
About this file
This is a shared library of modified textures that contains common files for the custom 4K PBR A321 v5.0.1.100+ paint kit created by Hugo Bicho, Daniel Du Preez and John Tavendale. A new Airplanes\FSLabs A321\Texture.CommonProfHBJT folder has been created and common files shared with all repaints are included here. This saves on drive space and simplifies management of liveries created from the custom kit. Repaints made from this kit have a special texture.cfg file that references this folder as a fallback and will be shown on the model when loaded into P3D.
Installation instructions:
1. Drag the FSLabs A321 folder contained in this download to your {Prepar3D v5 (or v4) Add-ons}\FlightSimLabs\FSLabs\SimObjects\Airplanes folder
2. After installation, your {Prepar3D v5 (or v4) Add-ons}FlightSimLabs\FSLabs\SimObjects\Airplanes\FSLabs A321 should look like this:
3. Installation is complete! You do not need to repeat this for any additional liveries that require this download if you’ve already completed the steps above
