Cameron, Yes, that may be the issue. Running an external monitor from a Macbook Pro. 8mb RAM May be runnning on 256 vram instead of 512. Will research that. But, I rebooted 2 more times and it now appears back to normal colors on other aircraft. So I dont know what happened, but will be more watchful when I try the DC-3 again. I am a little suspicious that I was in some view other than Window view when I switched planes. Guess too, good idea to disable Gizmo and shrink wrap when I fly other planes. Thanks very much for your help and patience. John

No major changes. Was flying other planes and looked fine. Not sure it was from install if DC-3 in correct aircraft folder. I rebooted and it appears liveries restored, but faded. (Also Chase view does not work when I switch planes. so something else) . There is a new "shrink wrap" plug in. Never saw that before. Part of DC-3 install? And understand GIZMO is DC-3 plug in. Will it affect other aircraft? Sorry to be such a bother, but want to get back to normal again.

Cameron, thanks for reply. The DC-3 liveries all work, but no others. Also get an error message when I open others saying minor error in loading contact the maker. When I open other aircraft livery menu get a choice dialog box with Generic only. All planes other than DC-3 are now generic. I installed DC-3 from your disk to X-plane folder, not the aircraft folder per your instructiions. But the DC-3 is now installed in X-aviation folder INSIDE the aircraft folder. Should I remove the X-Aviation folder from the aircraft folder?

After I installed X-Aviation new DC-3 on X-Plane 9 and used some I found all other planes went to Generic livery. I can find no way to change liveries. All other planes just show a generic livery button.
