Where can I download Citation X liveries for MSFS 2020/2024?

In short

Download Citation X liveries for MSFS 2020 and 2024, check the exact aircraft dependency, install them on PC and fix missing repaints.

Download Citation X liveries for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024 from our MSFS freeware and mods library. Check that each repaint names the exact Citation X add-on you own: the Citation X, Citation CJ4 and Citation Longitude are different aircraft, so their livery files are not interchangeable.

Which Citation X livery download should you choose?

Choose a repaint that names both your Citation X base aircraft and the Microsoft Flight Simulator version you use. Search the library for Citation X or Cessna Citation X, then read the dependency information rather than relying only on the preview image.

A file described as a repaint or livery pack normally does not contain the aircraft itself. You must install the required Citation X first, and even two Citation X add-ons with the same displayed aircraft name may use different internal package references.

Will MSFS 2020 Citation X liveries work in MSFS 2024?

Some uncomplicated MSFS 2020 repaints work in MSFS 2024, but compatibility is not automatic. The base Citation X must itself work in MSFS 2024, and the livery must still reference the correct aircraft package, model and texture structure.

Use our checklist for testing older liveries in MSFS 2024 before changing any files. If the aircraft loads but the repaint is absent or displays broken textures, follow the fixes for adapting an MSFS 2020 repaint to MSFS 2024; simply renaming the package is rarely enough.

How do you install a Citation X livery on PC?

Install a Citation X repaint by extracting its package into the active MSFS Community folder. Our Community-folder livery installation instructions cover the different PC installations and folder locations.

  1. Verify the dependency: confirm that the named Citation X aircraft is already installed and working.
  2. Extract the archive: do not place the compressed download directly in Community.
  3. Check the folder level: a valid package normally has manifest.json and layout.json near its top level. Avoid an extra nested folder.
  4. Copy the package: place it in the active Community folder, not the protected Official folder, then restart the simulator.
  5. Select the repaint: choose the correct Citation X variant in aircraft selection and open its livery or configuration selector.

Why does the Citation X livery not appear?

A missing Citation X livery usually means the wrong base aircraft, package folder or simulator version was used.

  • No base aircraft: a repaint cannot add or unlock the Citation X.
  • Wrong Citation model: CJ4 and Longitude liveries will not appear under the Citation X.
  • Nested or compressed package: move the actual package folder into Community and extract it first.
  • Wrong Community folder: old installations and moved package locations can leave more than one folder on the PC.
  • Duplicate repaint: remove older copies that register the same livery or package identity.
  • Pink, magenta or blank textures: the texture paths or materials are missing or incompatible; reinstall the download or use a version prepared for your simulator.

Can you install downloaded Citation X liveries on Xbox or PS5?

You cannot manually install a downloaded Citation X archive on Xbox Series X|S or PlayStation 5. Console users need a compatible livery distributed through the simulator's own content system, along with the exact supported Citation X aircraft.

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 is available on PC and Xbox but was never released for PlayStation. PlayStation 5 and PS5 Pro run Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, and they do not expose a PC-style Community folder for website downloads.
