Configuration
These options let you configure various aircraft-specific options on a per-livery basis.
The various configuration options applied (atc_id, selcal, ddrmi, engine type).
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
In MSFS 2020, liveries are configured using [fltsim.n] sections in the aircraft.cfg file. Fenix-
specific options are prefixed with fnx_ .
Example aircraft.cfg
[VERSION]
major = 1
minor = 0
[VARIATION]
base_container = "..\FNX_320_IAE"
[FLTSIM.0]
Configuration 1
title = "Fenix A320 Air New Zealand"
texture = "OJI"
ui_variation = "OJI"
atc_id = "ZK-OJI"
atc_airline = "ANZ"
fnx_selcal_code=FR-BM
fnx_ddrmi_enabled=1
Engine Type Detection
The value of base_container in the aircraft.cfg is used to detect the engine type, as well as
whether Sharklets are equipped. If an IAE container is selected, then IAE specific options
(like displaying EPR) will be applied.
Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
In MSFS 2024, configuration is done using livery.cfg files.
Fenix-specific options are prefixed with fnx_ .
Livery Tags
Tags are used to define where the livery is available to the user in the MSFS UI. The Fenix
systems also use these tags to determine which aircraft settings to load (for example, the
engine type).
Example livery.cfg
[SELECTION]
required_tags = "A321,IAE,SL,Cabin_A321_TwoClass"
Available Tags
Base Type Engine Wing Cabin
A319 CFM WF Cabin_A321_TwoClass
A320 IAE SL Cabin_A321_SingleClass
A321 Cabin_A319_SD
Cabin_A319_HD
⚠️ Type-specific cabins (SD/HD, Single/Two Class) only work when the correct Base
Type is specified.
Configuration 2
Livery Package
Our process for developing liveries is slightly different in MSFS 2024, but has some great
advantages like textures automatically reloading in the simulator.
We recommend starting your livery using the templates provided in the paint kit.
To get started:
1. Copy a template for your aircraft variant out of the templates folder.
2. Rename the SDK package to match your livery name.
3. Open the livery.cfg and set the required_tags needed for the variant you want to paint.
4. In the developer tools go to File → Open Project → Select the project XML.
5. Copy in the needed PNG and XML pairs from the paint kit template folder into the livery
project’s texture folder.
6. Build your livery SDK project. Subsequent changes you make to the texture PNGs will
automatically update in the simulator.
