Chris Honke Posted June 2, 2015 at 10:51 PM Posted June 2, 2015 at 10:51 PM IVAO Rules set does not appear in vPilot Model Matching Available Rule Sets. Per this you tube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qQ9eIEHJy4c The IVAO_MTL folder is in my SimObjects folder. I have also checked in %appdata% fsx config and that seems fine. I have also read and applied the suggestions in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=132&t=67854 Thoughts please? Cheers. Heavy Metal Driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Honke Posted June 3, 2015 at 12:10 AM Author Posted June 3, 2015 at 12:10 AM Okay, understood, thanks. Now, I suppose I am condemned for now to see dozens of "cant find the models" errors... Heavy Metal Driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted June 3, 2015 at 12:24 AM Posted June 3, 2015 at 12:24 AM there are other model sets available. there was absolutely nothing special about the IVAO set other then people found an easy way to download a bunch of models at once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do you say that? You should only see those errors if you have loaded model matching rules for a model set that you don't actually have installed in the sim.

Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted June 3, 2015 at 01:17 AM Board of Governors Posted June 3, 2015 at 01:17 AM I certainly understand what you're saying. I did install a bunch of WOAI manually. I will say it was more like a couple dozen, certainly not hundreds or thousands manually. That said, and knowing what I know now as opposed to what I did years ago when I installed my WOAI packages, I recognize that time is money. And should I have to do it over again, I'd likely spring the $33 USD for a package like MyTraffic 6. A package like that, or one of the others out there commercially, would give you a large number of aircraft and airlines all with just one installer to run. As much as I don't have a lot of free cash (thanks primarily to my wife and kids ), it does seem like a good investment to me. Just food for thought.

Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted June 3, 2015 at 01:54 AM Board of Governors Posted June 3, 2015 at 01:54 AM Just out of curiosity, I did some searching and found a possible solution to install all WOAI in one shot. I have not tried it, so I don't know how well or poorly it work, and don't know how long it would take. I'll post the information here; if anyone tries it, please post your experience to the forums so others may learn.

Ross Carlson Posted June 3, 2015 at 02:24 AM Posted June 3, 2015 at 02:24 AM Hrm ... I might have to write a program that will do the same thing but not require python.

Bradley Grafelman Posted June 3, 2015 at 02:33 AM Posted June 3, 2015 at 02:33 AM Hrm ... I might have to write a program that will do the same thing but not require python. Why reinvent the wheel? If nothing else, could try py2exe'ing it. (EDIT: Or pyinstalling'ing it, whatever the latest 'n' greatest is in the crazy Pythonic world.) (EDIT2: Actually, just saw that a compiled version was already included...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted June 3, 2015 at 02:50 AM Posted June 3, 2015 at 02:50 AM I'm thinking it would do a bit more, such as allow for selecting which packages to download, allow you to specify where to download them to, allow suspending and resuming, maybe other enhancements.

Ernesto Alvarez 818262 Posted June 3, 2015 at 04:35 AM Posted June 3, 2015 at 04:35 AM i just used it, took about an hour (comcast cable internet) to grab all 650 packages. 1.92GB in total. doesnt grab them all at once which is probably a good thing for AVSIM lol it grabs a few, downloads them, then grabs the next couple, etc.. would be good if you could sort to regions etc.. that might be beneficial for those not on high speed internet.

Chris Honke Posted June 4, 2015 at 01:17 AM Author Posted June 4, 2015 at 01:17 AM Agreed, awesome find, will try as well and report back.

Chris Honke Posted June 4, 2015 at 03:39 PM Author Posted June 4, 2015 at 03:39 PM So, stupid question but here goes. I have successfully downloaded all of the WOA with this App but where do I place them do I now need to create a model file or some such so vPilot can see them? Heavy Metal Driver.

Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted June 4, 2015 at 08:48 PM Board of Governors Posted June 4, 2015 at 08:48 PM It's been a couple of years since I loaded my last WOAI packages (updates), but if I remember correctly, the installer will ask you which package to install, ask you to confirm the target (FS9 or FSX), and show you the current FSX path. I think it also shows you the SimObjects folder. I created another folder, called "WOAI", under my Simobjects folder, to keep all my WOAI aircraft. So under my FSX path, it would show SimObjects\WOAI If I remember correctly, it then offers to adjust your fsx.cfg file to include the path in the SimObjectPaths area under [Main].

Ross Carlson Posted June 7, 2015 at 08:50 PM Posted June 7, 2015 at 08:50 PM I've made a basic app which shows all the available World of AI packages in a list grouped by category and country, and lets you select which ones you want, then download the selected packages.
