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.
