    What is this tool?

    Even if we know that this tool already exists, we did it for the reasons above


    This freeware MSFS Layout Generator is made for:

    • New creators who want to make liveries, mods, or small tweaks but don’t know how to use the official SDK or the built-in MSFSLayoutGenerator.exe.
    • Non-developers who simply like to modify small things in their Community folder (textures, configs, tweaks) for personal use, without having to install or learn the SDK.
    • Instead of digging through developer tools, you just double-click, paste your package folder path, and the tool generates a valid layout.json.
    ✅ Compatibility
    • Works with MSFS 2020 and MSFS 2024.
    • Supports any kind of package: liveries, aircraft mods, scenery, utilities.
    • Works for Windows, macOS and Linux

    Fakenews? That is a very childish thing to say
    It doesn't work or at least it does but the secrets of its usage are being kept quiet. As other people have reported generates an error and does not work.

    I'm genuinely curious about what this is for. If I create my own sceneries within the SDK, then I assume that's not what this is designed to help with. Am I correct in assuming that if I have an existing package and want to change something, say one of the graphics files, then I would make the change, then use this tool to re-generate a new layout and manifest file? If that's not it, I apologize but I am really curious. Thanks.

    Hi there! Thanks a lot for your question 🙌 You understood it perfectly: the tool isn’t meant to replace the SDK when you’re creating a new scenery from scratch. Instead, it helps in the situation you described — when you already have an existing package and you modify something inside (like textures, sounds, configs, etc.). In those cases, the Layout.json and Manifest.json need to be updated so that MSFS recognizes the changes, and that’s exactly what this tool does automatically for you.

    Also, in general, we noticed that many people make liveries or small modifications just for their personal use, and they usually don’t go through the SDK to do it. For them, the layout file often turns into the most confusing and frustrating part. One of the goals of this tool is to make their life easier — to give a quick and simple way to update Layout and Manifest without having to dive into the SDK.

    So yes — your assumption is spot on! 🚀

    Hi! Thanks for the 5 stars! I'm not a specialist but yed, you need a manifest. But if you only want the layout.json you can delet the manifest.json. But usuly both are needed if I'm not wrong.

    Versionsgeschichte

    🆕 Romandy Layout Generator – Windows Update ✅ What’s new in this version Desktop shortcut support (Windows only): A new script create_shortcut.bat is included. Running it once will automatically create a shortcut “Romandy Generator” on your desktop. You can optionally place a custom icon file named generator.ico in the windows\ folder to personalize the shortcut. If no icon is found, Windows will use the default icon. Simplified workflow (no more HTML form): The generator now runs entirely in the console when you double-click the shortcut. No browser required. Default values when pressing ENTER: If you don’t want to fill a field, just press ENTER and a safe default will be used: Title → Unknown Add-on Organization → Personal work for the community Creator → Unknown Creator Version → 1.0 This ensures your manifest.json is always valid, even if you skip fields. Manifest structure updated: The generated manifest.json now matches the official MSFS format, with fields like: dependencies content_type minimum_game_version release_notes (with last update date and initial release notes) total_package_size 📂 Installation Copy the following files into your Romandy_Layout_Manifest_Generator\windows\ folder: run_generator.bat generator_wrapper.py create_shortcut.bat generator.ico (optional) Double-click create_shortcut.bat. This will place a Romandy Generator shortcut on your desktop. 🚀 How to use On your desktop, double-click the Romandy Generator shortcut. A console window will open and ask you: Add-on folder path Add-on name Organization Creator Version Type your answers or press ENTER to use defaults. Wait for the process to finish → you’ll see: ✅ Done! Manifest and layout generated in: <your folder path> Your new manifest.json and layout.json are now inside the folder you selected. IMPORTANT if you don't want to use the content of the Windows file, the old technique still works perfectly, you can just continue as before, the change is optional as indicated in the name of the file. I also means that it still compantible with MacOS and Linux.
