New PBR Liveries - Common Files 4K PBR Paint Kit

[John James]

Hi,

Just looking at an Aegean livery for the A320 X - and saw that there was an update to the A320 to version 5.0.1.0.103 for both P3Dv4 and 5.  Also noted that this Aegean livery required a new Common Files Paint Kit download which I have downloaded.   This Common Files folder is required for these new paints.

However, I am not exactly sure WHERE the install path is!   The ReadMe mentions:-

{Prepar3D v5 Add-ons}\FlightSimLabs\FSLabs\SimObjects\Airplanes

Obviously, I do NOT have this path as I use P3Dv4.5 HF3 - soon to be updated to version 5.0.1.0.103.   I have this path:-

C:\Users\<myname>\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\FSLabs\SimObjects\Airplanes - 

Subfolders -

FSLabs A32X

FSLabs A320 CFM

FSLabs A320 IAE

So would I REPLACE the current FSLabs A32X folder in this directory?

Or is this only for P3Dv5.0 users?

Thanks,

Hi, 

you can drop the FSLabs A32X folder in this directory:

C:\Users\<myname>\Documents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\FSLabs\SimObjects\Airplanes

The folder will not replace it. Windows will ony install the new paintkit in it.

This common folder is only used by liveries from tavers, hb textures and professormadman

Yes if you need the Painkit it will tell you if you download it.
With this you need it.

Installation instructions are also in here. With a screenshot how the folder looks after installing the common files folder.

Thanks folks!

Yes, I saw the screenshot - but it looks nothing like my folder because I guess this is P3Dv5 and I do not have these subfolders:-

AIRLINES

PANEL BITMAPS

TEXTURE

TEXTURE_VC

TEXTURE_VC.BAK

... and the DLL file ...

FSL_A32XX.dll

So Yes, as long as the PBR paints are compatible with P3Dv4.5 HF3 as well as P3Dv5.0, then I'll go ahead.   It was just confusing.

 

cheers,

Just make sure that the directory has the red cicled folder in it.
