Great to see this PNG Mission livery is attacting attention and is already online! There are now two different registrations available here at flightsim.to! The Missionary Bush Pilot channel on YouTube must be a factor!
If you wish you may like to visit Missionary Bush Pilot on YouTube (search Missionary Bush Pilot) to view some of his many videos showing the excitement of flying in Papua New Guinea, or even take his online course in flying the Kodiak at:

Images now display the updated livery! These images were taken at Goroka Airport in the Highlands of Papua New Guinea, and over the rugged Owen Stanley Ranges between Goroka and Port Moresby. Down among those mountains are any number of extreme narrow-valley, cliff-top or ridgeline airstrips for the adventurous pilot!
This livery for P2-NTZ has been created in 4K resolution texture files for a very high quality result. It uses a real registration, and has been painted as accurately as possible. For those who wish to attempt the challenging flying conditions of Papua New Guinea and the many very difficult landing strips, this livery will add another dimension to the realism! The current file is now version 3.2. Enjoy!
LIVERY UPDATES: v3.0 - A general tidy-up around the prop, on the fuselage, the ELT decal and the gold stripes - still available if you do not want the new 'No Farting' decal and placards!
PANEL UPDATES: Earlier today we added a 'No Farting' decal to the panel which is actually displayed in the real aircaft. And believe me, if you have ever travelled in a real world light aircraft in a third-world location with the typical load of people and produce, this decal is a genuinely required panel add-on! v3.2 - Now we have added the Pidgin text to the decal, along with the remaining placards so you can fly the performance numbers that the Missionary Bush Pilot uses, with the same reference tables that Ethnos360 displays in the cockpits of their fleet of Kodiaks. Check out Ryan’s Kodiak Simulator Training Course or his many Missionary Bush Pilot videos on YouTube!

UPDATED MODEL OPTIONS: Now updated to include the empty cargo interior for each airframe variant.
INSTALLATION IS DIRECTLY INTO THE COMMUNITY FOLDER! Simply unzip the attached zip file, and drop it into the community folder.
NB: REQUIRES the payware SimWorks Simulations Kodiak 100 wheels aircaft.
Verified yesterday that this mod alone causes the MFD overlay (location icon, range ring, and heading bug and line) to not show up. Deal breaker. I'm not going to fly without that stuff on the map screen. I'm using the latest version of the Kodiak and G1000 NXi mod. Please fix. I would say this livery mod is currently unflyable.

It is working perfectly well on my installation, so please send me some images to show what is happening. I am using the latest version of the aircraft as well as the NXi.

Great stuff....one thing, the sound appears to be muted when I use this livery. I have the latest sim version.

Glad you like it but I have no idea why the sound would be muted - there are no changes to the sounds in this livery.

I see versions 3.1 and 3.2. Others are talking about versions 3.0 and 3.1. So that's confusing. Also, which was has the fart sticker and which doesn't?
One other thing, can you add real version number in the manifest? That would help a lot for manually checking version number.
Actually there is more confusion: the main file is listed as 3.2, but the other "says" 3.1 but has 1.0 listed next to the date of the file. THEN, when you click to download 3.1, it says you are downloading 3.2. This could be a flightsim.to issue, but I'm not sure.

edit: downloaded both, the 191 mb file is 3.1 and the 185mb file is 3.0
Files are ambiguously/incorrectly labeled on the site: there is no "3.0," rather two files labeled 3.1, The "Main File" is 3.1 according to flightsim.to metadata (but is actually 3.0) and the other is 1.0 (but actually 3.1)
Just going forward, would probably better to avoid this by labeling one file with something like "fart" or "no decal" instead of "3.1" and "3.0" which doesn't make logical sense in the first place.
BTW I would've been all about the fart sticker if someone hadn't *just* made those decal spots so useful, very nice touch and I appreciate you keeping 2 versions

Thanks for the heads-up! I was not aware that flightsim.to is renaming files, and is also dropping the oldest file off the system, so the original with the default panel is now gone, so your suggestion is a good one. I will upload the original now as a separate file labeled as having the default panel and when that is done, I'll place a link in the description above.

It's confusing which file to download. Just put a single file

3.1 for No fart sticker. 3.0 for no sense of humor or realism.

When can we expect the no farting sticker on the dash? This is a much needed update to the performance and immersion of the model...

Cannot Install. I purchased the SWS Kodiak II as required to operate this livery, and after many tries, it is not showing up in the liveries. I see all of the liveries that came with the SWS Kodiak, but not this one I downloaded from here. I am installing it in the Community folder. In comparison with the other liveries installed, I do not see an ".livery-manager.json" file. Please give specific instructions to get this to work. I downloaded the file, unzipped it and dragged it into the Community folder (i.e. "User\[NAME]\AppData ...". Note: After I unzip, there is the top folder "Kodiak Ethnos 3.0_oGueH" then "livery-kodiak-wheels-Ethnos360". I even separated those folders so I have both, and still nothing.
Can someone please advise on how to get this to work. Thank you.

The folder you install in the Community folder is inside the zip file, and should be called livery-kodiak-wheels-Ethnos360 The json file is inside that folder along with the manifest file and the SimObjects folder and all its contents. I'm not sure where the different filename and folder name came from. Let me check the zip file and get back to you.

Looks great, however I'm nitpicky and found some issues. Can these be fixed?

EDIT- Excellent reply and fix! 5/5

Just fixed most of those little things - thanks for pointing them out! Two things I will investigate further are the features on the right wing being black compared to grey on the left, and the smudge just behind the prop - might be in the default comp (reflections) files, as I can't see anything in the textures to cause that.

Nice livery! Tanks a lot for the work! Is there any possibility to create a dirty version? 😀
2 years ago
No, sorry - I'm not that kind of artist, and don't have the artistic skills to do that. I'd be happy if someone can assist with a project like that though - I know in reality these aircraft would get pretty dirty on the village airstrips of PNG or other third world countries. At present I just think of flying them after a routine service and maintenance and a cleanup at Goroka, Lae or Port Moresby!

The only thing I've noticed that's off this the the front lettering under the exhaust are different, on the real Aircraft its only KODIAK and not KODIAK 100. Otherwise looks good.
