MSFS Livery Tools

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

• Extract images from glTF JSON files and compress them again to DDS format.
• Convert selected DDS images to PNG and back to DDS.
• Package your livery and automatically create the needed files and folders.
• 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 on the graphical user interface.
• Creating and updating package layout files ("layout.json").
• Managing thumbnails (converting from capture tool, resizing and adding a placeholder).
