Robert Bressert Posted May 25, 2015 at 11:13 PM Posted May 25, 2015 at 11:13 PM I've been using Vpilot in FSX-SE for quite a while and it has been great! Love it! However in my last flight which landed in KMIA I could not see any traffic. I could hear the sound of the aircraft around me. There was a lot of traffic as Vattastic showed! I ran .debug and it listed many aircraft. I checked to make sure port 3290 was open and it was. I only ran into this once before and reran VMRgenerator and installed the new rules matching .vmr file and traffic became visible again. This time I have rerun VMRgenerator several times with no success. I could hear them speaking to ATC, but again, could not see them. A couple of nights ago I landed in KLAS with a lot of traffic with no problems. I saw them all. I can't think of anything that I have changed that would have caused this.

Robert Bressert Posted May 26, 2015 at 01:29 AM Author Posted May 26, 2015 at 01:29 AM Hmmm! I don't recall seeing shadows, but I wasn't looking for that, but I could see the identifying information, model type (i.e., IVAO-MTL, how far away they were, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted May 26, 2015 at 01:38 AM Board of Governors Posted May 26, 2015 at 01:38 AM In FSX, try disabling ground shadows, and if that doesn't work, ensure DX10 mode is off. Let us know if either of those help (they generally do). Don Desfosse Vice President, Operations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Bressert Posted May 26, 2015 at 03:09 AM Author Posted May 26, 2015 at 03:09 AM OK, turning off ground shadows corrected it, and I can now see the other aircraft. Thanks. Let me ask, though, is there any way to correct this so I can have ground shadows on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted May 26, 2015 at 03:20 AM Board of Governors Posted May 26, 2015 at 03:20 AM I'm not aware of one, though I haven't investigated it thoroughly. Maybe someone else has more knowledge on the subject and can share. Don Desfosse Vice President, Operations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Bressert Posted May 26, 2015 at 03:25 AM Author Posted May 26, 2015 at 03:25 AM Well, at least I can see the other aircraft now, thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted May 26, 2015 at 04:54 AM Posted May 26, 2015 at 04:54 AM from what i remember its due to a direct X issue. there is something called "steves DX10 Fixer" which fixes some directx issues, ive no idea if itll also fix this though. only thing i can think of that you can try for that. can find more about it on the avsim forums.

Norman Blackburn Posted May 26, 2015 at 08:18 AM Posted May 26, 2015 at 08:18 AM It is indeed a DX issue and something that was identified just before shipping FSX. Sadly it was never rectified. Norman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markus Kylliainen 1313786 Posted May 28, 2015 at 07:01 PM Posted May 28, 2015 at 07:01 PM I have the exact same problem, neither disabling ground shadows or DirectX 10 helped... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not tried anything yet, guess it doesn't matter anymore when Ross Carlson decided to remove IVAO Model Matching from vPilot.

Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted June 2, 2015 at 08:58 PM Posted June 2, 2015 at 08:58 PM i use world of AI, in total probably have between 6 - 8000 liveries and models to choose from only ones that give me issues are G/A traffic as i dont have a rule set that covers G/A traffic that much.

Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted June 2, 2015 at 09:08 PM Posted June 2, 2015 at 09:08 PM download all at once, sadly no. the total size would be several gigabytes i do wish they at least did it by region. but for me, i started with the most common ones that fly where i normally fly, then added the rest as i went into other areas. so for example i started with many of the usual north american carriers since i mostly fly in the US, then when i ventured to europe, i started adding many of those, etc. etc.. installing, there you can install multiple at once. simply select multiple packages with the WOAI installer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted June 2, 2015 at 10:09 PM Board of Governors Posted June 2, 2015 at 10:09 PM When you installed new packages, did you remember to update your fsx.cfg file to let it know you installed new AI? When you say you "installed them into vPilot", are you really saying that you downloaded and configured a new model matching rule set (or even better, ran VMRGenerator)?

Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted June 2, 2015 at 10:11 PM Posted June 2, 2015 at 10:11 PM make sure you only activate the ones you have. vpilot has the rule sets ordered by region, if you open the list it will list each individual carrier, only select the ones you actually have. otherwise its going to get them all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
