First of all, congrats to everyone whose liveries got added , you totally deserve it! And huge thanks to the dev team as always.
But I just have a quick question… how did some liveries get added with only 4 votes, while others that had way more votes didn’t make it in?
Not trying to take anything away from anyone, but it’s a bit confusing how the selection process works.

It’s not just amount number of votes - its a number of different factors (e.g. airline diversity). The devs are probably more likely to add a new airline for more diversity than an airline that already exists on another variant of the same aircraft family.

Thank you for your response!
The livery that got added with just 4 votes is actually a duplicate.
They simply requested the older version, and it was added even though the newer version is already available and both are on the same aircraft type! 
Are you referring to the Retro Qatar 777? That’s a bit of a unusual case because its a “special” livery.
So what should they do?
Add a new livery and new airline
Or just add livery that already exists!.. but in old version
I mean good for them actually im very happy that they got it but.. it should be the most priority (NEW AIRLINE) isnt?
Well, special liveries are nice, and I personally see nothing wrong with them. Also, the devs have added many requested B38M liveries.
Yeah i ddnt say the special livery is wrong but think about it .. many people are saying that we need some new liveries.
At least they should mention that your request is not able to do it cuz of some problem such as legal reasons..etc
We get them every update. I’ve never seen any Arajet or Jeju Air planes in IF.
Honestly, I completely agree with him. It makes way more sense to prioritize adding liveries for large operators that aren’t even in the sim yet, instead of spending time on special one-off liveries that only exist on a single aircraft… especially when we already have that airline represented in other forms.
If the whole idea behind livery additions is that they’re based on community requests, then why are liveries with barely any votes making it into the sim? Shouldn’t it be based on actual numbers? Otherwise, what’s the point of voting at all?
I totally respect the devs for their efforts and completely understand that they are working on incredible projects to make a great sim, but we’ve waited over five months for this update, and what we’re getting doesn’t reflect what the community has actually been asking for. It’s incredibly frustrating to feel like feedback and votes aren’t being taken seriously, especially after such a long delay. I think it’s our right to ask

Or even more important is adding the liveries that have been Confirmed for well over a year now Rossiya B77W, Pobeda B738…
