Question regarding AI traffic and Added liveries.

  • Quick question, I have downloaded several liveries for the FBW A320, many of which are in 8K.

    My question is, is there a way to prevent the added liveries from appearing as AI and leave the default ones instead?


    It appears that a lot of those 8K - 4K liveries can cause a drag when it comes to FPS in certain loaded airports, not a lot, but enough to be annoying.

  • I honestly don't know how you would assign the liveries that you've downloaded to the models that are used for AI. AFAIK, AI models are a lot less complex than "flyable" ones, and would have their own livery sets. HOWEVER, I understand that there is a way to use Vatsim liveries with MSFS 2020, although I haven't checked it out yet.

    There was also an A320 for AI livery pack put up a couple of days ago - https://flightsim.to/file/20816/generic-a320-traffic which may be worth looking at.

    There is also https://flightsim.to/file/1757…ffic-european-livery-pack, if you're flying Europe.

  • Sorry for any misunderstanding, what I meant was, whenever I download a livery for the FBW it appears as Ai in the airports, this can cause some stuttering or frames drop, is there a way so that the FBW liveries or any liveries I download for airliners don't show up in AI, only the default?

  • Hi any idea where to look or to contact someone as I am looking for the livery of the PMDG DC6 of Cathay Pacific. Any tips ?, ideas?

    cheers

    First of all, Achim, for information, it is better to start a new thread if you are looking for something different to what the current thread is discussing. That's just polite.

    To answer your question, livery requests should be posted to this page: https://flightsim.to/requests/liveries

    If a livery is designed for a particular model, it will show it. Liveries don't show up on models that they aren't compatible with AFAIK. And the liveries generally aren't complex enough to actually cause the sim to start stuttering - which is a function of the complexity of the addons, The default AI airplanes are special models, built with much lower poly counts (technical term, which describes the structure of all those nice curved surfaces in terms of polygons) and multiple LODs (Levels of Detail - which is another technical term that describes the plane as using less complex models (even lower poly counts) the further away from you it is).

    So, you need to make sure that your AI is using default Asobo AI planes, and that the textures are made for those models, otherwise you will run into multiple problems.
