Aircraft Name/Livery description seems still messed up in MSFS2024 for 2020 imported planes

[MSFS 2024] Bug Reports Aircraft
1

Version: 1.5.13.0

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: Low

Marketplace package name: indiafoxtecho F-35 and other of our products (but it may be a general issue)

Context: indiafoxtecho F-35 and other, streamed or installed

Bug description:
In the aircraft selection menu, the livery is reported correctly (for example AF-01 Prototype is the correct description for the blue tail with red lighting livery). Previously it was messed up.

In the configuration menu, the livery name is correct below the livery icons, but the variant name appears to be the Norwegian livery (5146 Kongelike Norkse Lufyforsvaret).
Note that now the livery icons seem to be in the “correct” order (same as MSFS2020, following the aircraft.cfg numbering), while previously it was messed up - and for some reason previously the Norwegian livery was the default pick in MSFS2024 (for reasons which we never understood).

Default livery should be AF-01 - plane has no variants.

Repro steps:
Aircraft selection menu / configuration.

Where are you placing your liveries, folder-wise?

This is an MSFS2020 package so folders have the same structure as a MSFS2020 package.
To be clear, the issue is that the name of one of the liveries (and it is consistently the Norwegian 5146) is used as the aircraft “modular” variant name - and the aircraft is not modular (being a MSFS2020).
I think that if the airplane is not modular and has no “variants”, the variant description should be blank.

On the good side, the order of the liveries is now correct (and it was not at launch for MSFS2024).
The order of the liveries is now the same as is it is in MSFS2020 and follows the order in the aircraft.cfg.
Note that in previous version of MSFS2024, the order was messed up and the Norwegian livery showed as first (default) livery.

…nothing against the Norwegian livery BTW - it is just a special plane since it has the drag chute package (others do not) :wink:
