Panel.CFG content is not longer getting overwritten

Version: 1.1.10.0

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: Blocker

Marketplace package name: N/A

Context: Liveries

Similar MSFS 2020 issue: N/A

Bug description:
Panel.CFGs created for liveries are not overwriting the aircraft’s original panel.CFG content.

Example:

Content of panel.cfg for livery
// Panel Configuration file
// ATS Antonov An-2

[VARIATION]
override_base_container = 0

[VPainting02]
size_mm	= 1024, 256
texture	= $RegistrationNumber
location = exterior
painting00=Registration/Registration.html?font_color=transparent, 0, 0, 1024, 256

Result in MSFS2020:

  • The dynamic registration is gone from the exterior, as intended.

Result in MSFS2024:

Repro steps:
Detailed above.

Have you looked at the livery.cfg files for this aircraft to see if this livery uses the [Panel_DynamicParameters] parameters? In MSFS 2024, a livery can alter the VPainting color parameters which is a preferred method to override the registration color than the panel.cfg.

Yeah, I know about this, but the aircraft above is a 2020 version (Microsoft/ATS An-2) which is not in the new modular format.

Could this be the same as my bug here?

I’m not sure, but it looks quite similar indeed.
Seems like it’s a general thing that panel.X folders are not being read or something.
