IMPORTANT! Huge size of aircraft.cfg issue - 737-900WL

Hi guys!
I have very important message to all of you who downloaded any of my 737-900WL repaints.

First of all, I would like to apologize for it and thank those who drew my attention to this problem.
I spent more than 40 hours already to find a problem and solution and it's not over yet.

I would like also to ask you to help me spread this information in Facebook groups, forums, etc; so more people who downloaded my repaints will know about this situation. Besides of this, I will pin this post for a while so it will be on top of the blog.

Ok, so what's the problem?
Unfortunately, at the beginning of my adventure with making repaints, I've have edited "aircraft.cfg" file, which is used to save all informations about texture, reference to model folders, reg number, repaint version, etc.
I've added two lines which includes info that I did this repaint and address of my www.
Information from this file is used by livery manager to write down and add it to main "aircraft.cfg" file in each plane (not texture) folder. In this main file are all textures listed, some camera and plane settings.

However, I didn't know that somehow, PMDG's Livery Manager generated this two lines approximately ...25.000 times per texture!
Yes, ~25.000 of useless text lines for each repaint, which is in my case around 2.000.000 lines in main "aircraft.cfg" file in 737-900WL main folder. What does it mean? It mean that this aircraft.cfg file (in plane main folder) grown up to...42MB(!). Is it abnormal? Yes, because this file should not be bigger than 100KB.
Normally, new repaint makes this file bigger by ~1KB, not more.

That's why I've decided to edit all my 737-900 repaints and re-upload them to www so anyone who has this problem, can remove old ones and install new version again. I do not know why but there is only one way to make it correct.


------------------------------------
How to fix it on your side? Just follow all steps. Make sure that you don't miss anything.

1. Go to your aircraft folder, e.g:
                    x:\{your_fsx_main_folder}\SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG 737-900NGX WL
2. Take a look how big is "aircraft.cfg" file. If you have installed ~80-100 repaints and a size of this file is below 100KB, then everything is ok. You don't have to do anything. If it takes more than 1MB, go further to next step.
3. Open Livery manager or PMDG Operations Center and delete all of mine 900WL repaints.
4. Close livery manager (or Operations Center)
5. Check size of "aircraft.cfg" file again. It should be very small now. If not, make sure that you deleted all my repaints.
6. Download fixed version of any repaint you need. (CHECK LIST BELOW THIS POST)
7. Open Livery Manager (or Operations Center) again
8. Install each repaint one by one.
Do not choose multiply repaints in Livery Manager (or Operations Center) to install them all at the same time.
You must install each repaint separately, one by one. Why? I've explained it in next paragraph.
9. Check size of "aircraft.cfg" again. It should be OK now.



If you choose 2 or 40 repaints - it doesn't matter - to be installed automatically, this problem will occur again, even if install fixed repaint with no extra text in this texture's config. Where is the logic? I have no idea, but it is so.
I tried even to remove backup file, removed a plane, cleaned manually HDD and registry from all files and entries referring to this plane, but without positive results.


I've tested these fixed repaints and so far everything is correct (if installed one by one) on my side. After installing them via Livery Manager, a main "aircraft.cfg' file has size <100KB and there is no useless text entries.

At this moment, I've fixed most of the textures and already re-uploaded them to www so you can download them again.
Below, I'm giving you a list of fixed repaints. They are marked with green colour. The red ones are not fixed yet and download links to them were removed from "Download" section. As soon as I make them correct, I will inform you.

This issue refers for sure to 900WL version of 737, but  to 800WL as well.
At this moment only 900WL is fixed.
With all other my liveries (600, 700/700WL and all of 777 versions) everything looks good.
