    FBW Livery Converter - Image 1

    Description

    This python script makes all your current old FBW liveries work with the new separate version. To run:
    Drop the python script inside your community folder (Or the same folder with all your airlines in)
    Run the script with python3.4 or later

    Done

    The A320 livery's must have their folder name be: Asobo_A320_NEO_LIVERYNAME (e.g Asobo_A320_NEO_EASYJET)
    If not the script won't detect them

    Any issues please let me know in the comments, this is more of a temporary fix I wrote until FBW release a proper one.
    Please note: Some liveries may not convert if they have a different file structure, but the majority will work. These liveries will not be compatible with the default A320 after running this script.

    Thanks to xaiver on the FBW discord for helping test an issue breaking this on some liveries!

    Cheers!

    Hello friend,

    I cannot use the FBW A320NX because of an old and weak computer (very low FPS) so I enjoy flying the Asobo one a lot. However all the cool liveries I see are for FBW. Do you have any plans to make an app like this that does the opposite?

    Convert FBW to Asobo? Thanks!

    Cannot recommend this. Yes, liveries where converted and correctly shown in the aircraft select screen. Every A320 livery folder in "community" have to start with "Asobo_A320_NEO_" or it won't work.

    But after loading many of them got the default A320 cockpit or non-working A32nx cockpit.
    After diggin into the files, the converter didn't change every needed value.
    Changing those values manually will work perfectly as mentioned here:
    https://docs.flybywiresim.com/start/convert-liveries/

    Also the AI traffic liverys are gone after conversion.

    Don't waste your time...

    Hello, thanks for your comment. As the description states, you do have to use the A320 strict structure. This is so I could write this within a couple of hours of the release to help most liveries. I'm aware of some of these issues, that's why I recommend creating a backup, as this is just a quick and easy method designed for the majority of liveries, again for quickness.
    The python code is open source on github, so please contribute any code if you wanna help improve this!

    All the best

    I tried this with the Woodpecker livery from the Frontier livery pack and it worked for the most part, however the displays all show up as white. Not sure why. Thanks for uploading anyway!

    Did you get a reply? Some of my conversions also have the white screen syndrome

    It's super cool to have something like that that soon after the fork!
    Although it did work on some of my liveries, there are others where the screen turned white and were not working.
    But it's a great fix to avoid re-downloading every livery you have!

    Maybe there are messages within your script or maybe not ...
    I ran it and no error message but no confirmation message neither if it worked or not ...

    I think the tool is a good idea.
    But when changeing only the files given in the FBW Site discription we might end up in an great mess-up.
    I think in the aircraft.cfg it is also important to add a pre- or suffix "FBW" to the each "title" section and a suffix "FBW" to each "ui_type" section to make a) the aircraft unique and b) to make the different aircrafts visible in the airplane selection (if someone wants to keep the livereies for standard A320neo too.
    In this case it would be also good if the programm could copy and rename the folders to something like "FBW_A320_neo_"Airlinename

    Any way to instead scrape for the a320 path in the manifest rather than matching an a320 directory name? maybe 10% of my liveries match that string...thanks for the work

    Love to see the initiative and thanks for putting it together. Unfortunately out of the maybe 80 liveries I have, only about 10 are in the required Asobo_A320_NEO format. Far more are a320-livery-liveryname.

    Then just change the name to match it...

    I'm afraid this hasn't worked for me, seems like a very nice mod though :)
