    Description

    Bring your favorite PMDG MSFS 2020 liveries to MSFS 2024 instantly!

    Are you tired of waiting for developers to update your favorite PMDG 737 and 777 liveries? With this PTP Installer, you can automatically convert and install almost any legacy .PTP and OC3 .ZIP livery file from MSFS 2020 directly into Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
    This tool handles the heavy lifting: extracting, texture conversion (DDS to PNG to KTX2), layout.json generation, and file structure adaptation.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: If updating , or first time installing the SDK; please restart your computer to ensure smooth and optimal functionalities.

    🚀 Key Features:
    One-Click Installation: Just select your .ptp or .zip file and click convert.
    Auto-Detection: Automatically detects if the livery is for the 737-800 Passenger, BCF (Freighter), BDSF variants or BBJ2 and also for each one of the 737-900/900ER, 737-600 and 777s models and engines
    Winglet Recognition: Automatically configures Blended Winglets (BW) or Split Scimitar (SSW) based on the config file.Texture Conversion: Converts legacy .DDS textures to the new MSFS 2024 .KTX2 format using the official SDK tools.
    Long Path Fix: Includes a smart bypass for the Windows "260 character limit" error, ensuring successful installation even in deep folder structures.
    SDK Auto-Setup: Detects if you have the MSFS 2024 SDK installed and helps you install it if missing (Installer included!).


    📋 Requirements:
    Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
    PMDG 737-600, 737-800, 737-900, 737-900ER or any PMDG 777s for MSFS 2024.
    MSFS 2024 SDK (The tool will help you install this if you don't have it).

    ⚠️ Important Note: Since this tool converts textures from an older format, there might be minor quality differences compared to a native 2024 livery, but it gets you flying with your favorite airline in minutes!

    I found the missing files, it is named NN_ALBD.PNG & NN_ALBD.PNG.JSON
    I have downloaded a blank livery and dropped these into the converted livery, now it's all good

    Did the creator abandon us???

    No reply/update after the PMGD 737-700 release.

    PMDG has updated their models in a big manner and I no longer have access to their models and files in order to work in the converter. The project is sourcecode and anybody could try to update while giving credit to me. However, if any possibility to update myself, I will be back :). Thanks for your support

    Thanks for your reply Doguer.

    What a shame. Loved the converter while it lasted.

    Looking forward to a 737-700

    As an answer to doguer on his reply to ecbattle, the conversion did work for me on the -600 after the latest update with the new model from PMDG. I believe it will be the same with the -700 (?) :)

    So do we still have to wait for an update for -700 because it didn't work for me the last time I tried to convert PTP to ZIP?

    I love this app. On the 737 side, it works for my 800s but not for any of my 900s. Based off of that fact and several of the comments left by others, I'm assuming the High Detail Update that PMDG released broke something. Will this be fixed once PMDG releases the final HDU update (and it's accompanying paint kit)?

    Hi, unfortunately there are no plans on updating this app for further compatibility with the newest models of PMDG since they are completely new models and not just a 2020 version moved into 2024 as their original releases were, therefore it is no longer possible to make a convertion in a easy or achievable manner inside an app, as it will need a lot of resources or permissions in order to convert the files and match the structure of the new models if any match can be done. Thanks for your support along this time but this project has been relinquished while mantained in GitHub for everyone who can or will to work on it.

    Excellent tool. Cannot wait for 737-700 compatibility

    about 1 month ago

    Think the paintkit for the -600 and -700 got released, if you could add support for both, that would be fantastic!

    Great work. thank you! Will the installer updated for the pMDG 737-700 also?

    about 1 month ago

    Wow, just wow. Nice work indeed. This may be asking too much but would be nice if you can do a batch convert or maybe I'm missing something. Also, if we already have 2020 installed, would be nice to be able to convert what's already installed in 2020 to 2024. But hey, that's asking way too much haha. I really appreciate your work as there were a lot of liveries here that have yet to be converted.

    One question. these end up in a folder named pmdg-converted-liveries. Can I copy these files over to the pmdg-aircraft-739-liveries folder and then run the MSFSLayoutGenerator for the layout.json? I like to keep everything tidy.

    Jeez they are going to update it soon so may have to start all over on conversions. 5 stars

    Edit: Answering my own question here, yes you can copy these files over to the pmdg-aircraft-739-liveries folder and then run the MSFSLayoutGenerator for the layout.json and it will work. Just know what you're doing here.

    Did you try with PMDG 737-700? I get pink ID both cockpit sides.

    about 1 month ago

    I don't have the 700. But I hear it has new exterior textures so not surprised it doesn't work. The other variants will soon get an update too so I'm sure he'll have to rework this to get it to work with the new textures.
