Livery over MP

On this page we describe how you make use of a script to get a livery selection dialog in FlightGear. To get new liveries into FlightGear CVS, you need to have them availabe with this script.

Using the MP livery script

We have to make a directory to store our liveries in. Let's make it Aircraft/Sikorsky-76C/Models/Liveries.

Livery files

For every liverie we need to make a file. Let's say we got a Rescue livery, we than need to make a file called Rescue.xml into our Models/Liveries directory.

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<PropertyList>
 <sim>
  <model>
   <livery>
    <name type="string">Rescue</name>
    <index type="int">0</index>
    <texture>S76livery0.rgb</texture>
   </livery>
  </model>
 </sim>
</PropertyList>

Model .xml file

<nasal>
 <load>
  var livery_update = aircraft.livery_update.new("Aircraft/Sikorsky-76C/Models/Liveries", 10);
 </load>

 <unload>
  livery_update.stop();
 </unload>
</nasal>
