Hi,

 

I am new to the world of vatsim and downloaded the v pilot client. On my first flight, i kept getting error messages about other pilots livery and model and a message saying it would change these to a default type.

 

Can anyone give me a step by step guide on how to sort this out ?

 

Thank you

 

Rob

I'm guessing that you have not yet installed any aircraft models for vPilot to use. The downloading of a rule set within vPilot is merely saying "I have this bunch of models installed and I want them to be displayed."

So how do I install these models? Is this just a thing with vpilot or is it like that in sqwarkbox too?

vPilot does not provide a model set like Squawkbox does. It's up to you to install whatever third-party model set you prefer, and then you configure vPilot to make use of those models by creating model matching rule sets or downloading pre-made ones as described in the vPilot docomeentation.

I have managed to sort it out, the vpilot program is too good to dismiss like I nearly did! Happy flying guys.
