Yes all textures that go with that 3D model have to be duplicated
with the individual livery.

Yes it does show up as a separate full-grown aircraft the only saving
being the different liveries use the same 3D model.And yes if you have
100 repaints of the 737 then they would all show up as separate models
in FG run. I dont see how you get around this as surely you have to select
the livery you want to use somewhere.Correct me if I am wrong but if you
want to fly the 737 and it has many liveries, somewhere you have to tell FG
what livery to use be it in Linux or windows.To get around the clutter in FG 
run
I guess you would need to have a further subdirectory so initially you would 
be
presented with the main directory with all the different aircraft types then 
selecting
a type,if there were more than one livery,you would be presented with a list 
of the
liveries to select from for that type.
I dont see either what this has to do with CVS.I would think any repaints 
would be
held somewhere were people could just download them and add them to there 
local
copy.
My understanding of AC3D is that you apply the textures and those textures 
have set
names, e.g XYZ.RGB, and if you change that name then AC3D will say it cant 
find the
texture and you will be presented with a red and white aircraft were the 
textures should be.
So if I want  XYZ.RGB to represent KLM then I need to put it in a separate 
folder to say a
XYZ.RGB that represents BA

Am I missing something here?.
