problem with sitting people last update
« on: November 27, 2025, 10:50:59 am »
Look at the photo. I had no problems with the old version. Yesterday I updated the program... and now everything is the same. This happens with pmdg and fenix (I haven't tried with another plane). I uninstalled the program, closed it, deselected, closed it, reopened it, and reset the planes in the configuration. I changed planes, changed airports. Same story...

Page 99 of the  manual has all explanation with all suggestion when passengers disappear or have pink textures.

You're right. I followed the manual and there was no improvement.
The administrator is really unfriendly.

See page 99 manual:" Depending on the airplane used, 3rd party liveries might be distributed in package names different than the ones used by the official liveries. Some airplanes like PMDG, encourage distribution through a special archive (.PTP) which usually prevents the problem of having liveries spread across multiple packages, but not all airplanes work like this, so you might find liveries in packages named in many ways.
This might be a problem for the FSDT Installer, because it doesn’t scan all folders in your Community, parsing all aircraft.cfg trying to recognize a supported airplane, it would be very slow. Instead, if will only look inside a few folders that are known to be used to contain add-on liveries for the supported airplanes.
For example, Fenix A320 liveries are searched in all packages with a name starting with “fnx-aircraft-320” or “fnx_320_”, Maddog X liveries are only searched in packages with a name starting with “lsh-maddogx-aircraft” or “lsh-maddogx-livery”, iniBuilds A300 liveries are searched in packages with a name starting with “inibuilds-aircraft-a300-600“, “inibuilds aircraft-a306r-pw “ or “inibuilds-a300”and so on.If you have an unofficial livery that comes in a package named not according
to these standards, it won’t be detected, resulting in Pink texture, because the airplane is referencing the default exterior model (which has been patched to add Seated Passengers), but the texture Fallbacks hasn’t been added to the TEXTURE.CFG of that livery, because its package was ignored because of its name.  The solution in this case is to rename the package in the Community as expected.
I modified it as indicated in the manual, but it didn't work. In fact, the configuration no longer reads or modifies the aircraft's tetxtuer.cfg file. I'd like to know what else I need to modify.

I can tell you i tried everything to get this working, but the passengers always disappear in PMDG 737-800 in MSFS 2020.
It is very frustrating since my settings are complete as described in manual p99  and the support from FSDT or answers are not present.
I hope someone will solve and give a decent answer.

I have several PMDG aircraft and my own liveries created for our virtual company. The files seem identical, but GSX Pro works in one aircraft, but not in the other, and it doesn't even write to the texture.cfg file...

Can the developer please find a solution for PMDG LIVERIES OR REPAINTS because sitting passengers don.t work with these , only with the original PMDG paint

There are no problems with pink textures, either with PMDG or Fenix.

WRT PMDG, check if you are using liveries with .PTP file, that they haven't been made with Seated passengers already enabled, this will surely cause that issue.
