Your package doesn't have a manifest.json file. Without that, it can't be managed via some of the addon managers for MSFS. Is it possible for you to add the appropriate manifest.json to the package, please?

For this to work as a pack addon, instead of overwriting the original files, it´s better to create an addon pack main folder, with one SimObjects/Airplanes folder. Inside the Airplanes folder create one more folder for each livery. You have to include one folder for each of the skids variants and another folder for each of the floats variants, resulting in a total of 14 folders therefore. Each livery folder has to contain the livery textures folder and the aircraft.cfg for that livery. It´s even better if you give a different name to the textures folders on the floats variations to avoid issues. On the other hand each aircraft.cfg has to contain only one FLTSIM.0 entry (the one of your livery) and the base container it´s using (the original Flyinside skids or floats folders).

So it would look like the following for the skids versions:

[VERSION]

major = 1

minor = 0

[VARIATION]

base_container = "..\flyinside-b47\..\b47"

[FLTSIM.0]

<Your livery config content>

And for the floats versions this would look as:

[VERSION]

major = 1

minor = 0

[VARIATION]

base_container = "..\flyinside-b47\..\b47 floats"

[FLTSIM.0]

<Your livery config content>

You don´t need anything else than those three blocks on each aircraft.cfg.

Don´t forget to check your textures.cfg fallbacks so that they point to the default Flyinside texture folder, and in the case of the floats versions to the same skids version of that livery too (so floats versions will have two fallback entries).

Also don´t forget to add a manifest.json file for the main addon pack and update layout.json dragging it to MSFSLayoutGenerator.exe tool when you have finished so that all paths are updated correctly.

An example of this method can be found here:

The livery of the Bell 47G-2 here is just a reminder of the flight of the first Telecopter. Easyrider1960 followed my request and created this - thanks! -, which although not the real livery, will be a good choice for all those who want to recreate the first flight of the Telecopter.

As I wrote elsewhere, "On July 4, 1958, when the first images from the hand-held camera onboard the helicopter were received by the engineers on the ground, news gathering changed forever. The KTLA-TV Telecopter was born, and a Bell 47G-2 was part of the story." if you want to give context to your flights, check the whole article here:
