Can any of you explain how to use the dang thing? I get two executable icons, neither say MSFS Layout Generator.exe, one has MSFS Layout Generator..sin and the pother MSFS Layout Generator.csproj. What opens them? I tried to follow the Read me, but the fact I cannot find a MSFS Layout Generator.exe that is mentioned in the READ ME just does not exist! I aready have three repaints, but just cannot figure this JSON crap out.

Hi,
1. Unzip the Layout creator tool into a folder that you can easily find again. Not sure if it does work on the desktop.
2. In the aircraft folder where your new repaint is going to be placed you should already have a Layout.json file.
3. Make or copy in the texture folder for the new skin with all the files specific to that repaint in it.
3. Place the two folders side by side so that you can drag the Layout.json file over the creator tool and let go of the mouse button.
4. A little CMD-pop up window appears for a few seconds and if all is well the Layout.json file will have a new time stamp and include the info for your new repaint.
5. Add the [fltsim] info manually or copy paste into the aircraft.cfg file and edit the number as you know it from FS9 or FSX.
Hope this helps.

Maybe place this litlle gem here as well that @Bomber_12th shared with me, along with his explanation who to use it:
It's very easy to replace an existing soundset with one from another MSFS aircraft, or even an FS9/FSX/P3D soundset. You just have to remember that you have to recompile a new .JSON file so that the new sound files will be found when you load the aircraft.
I have attached the very easy-to-use "Auto JSON" executable I use (that I can't seem to find anywhere online anymore). Once you place the new sounds & sound.cfg file into the sound folder of the MSFS aircraft of your choosing, open the Auto JSON executable and click on the directory to navigate to your community folder and select the aircraft's main folder (the folder that contains the .JSON file). Once selected, it will automatically generate a new .JSON file and all you have to do is click save as and you're good to go.

Sure did the trick for me on the aircraft I tried it with....though that one had no locked files.
