MSFS Livery Tools

MSFS Livery Tools is set of tools to help creating livery for existing aircrafts on Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020. It deals with all bureaucratic steps of livery creations, so that you can focus on your creative work:

• Converting texture images from and to DDS format.
• Creating the directory structure of a package.
• Creating an "aircraft.cfg" file based on the original aircraft and variation information.
• Creating a "manifest.json" file (optionally based on the original manifest).
• Creating a "panel.cfg" file and changing:
  • variation override;
  • external registration font color and stroke.
• Creating descriptive JSON files for DDS textures (.DDS.json).
• Creating flag file for textures (.FLAGS) (not in graphical user interface).
• Creating package layout files ("layout.json")
