Livery Submission
Most models of the X-CSL library are compatible with models of the IVAO MTL catalog. There are sync
periodically from IVAO MTL. So to be included in X-CSL, the livery must be available in the IVAO MTL catalog.
This means that there is no need to submit livery directly to the X-CSL. If the livery have
already in the IVAO MTL catalog, just wait a while and it will be available in the X-CSL.
IVAO MTL have are a large number of models, but unfortunately, not all of them are available in the X-CSL. The full
list of X-CSL models is presented in Library page. If you do not see some type
there, then model is not yet in the library. Also, some X-CSL models are incompatible of the IVAO MTL models. Below
is a list of models for which liveries must be submit directly to the X-CSL. For some models, a link to the paintkit
is provided.
