1275389 Posted August 18, 2015 at 03:08 AM Posted August 18, 2015 at 03:08 AM Evening all, Over the past few days, I've been fine tuning my model matching rules (through VMRGenerator) to add/remove unwanted models. I came across a major carrier that simply had no models for two specific aircraft. These were AAL's A319/A321 as a result of being so "new" to the fleet. I found FAIB's A319 and A321 and installed both of them with the appropriate American livery. I successfully setup the A319's model, tested it, and it appeared as a properly matched model should. I installed and setup the A321's model following its appropriate instructions and it's simply not working. I don't know whether the aircraft is broken or if I did something wrong in the model matching rules (which I highly doubt as it tries to match the model as shown in the vPilot debug menu). Here's the debug console's output: [00:37:10.169] Model matching rule sets reloaded [00:37:12.056] Aircraft discovered: AAL725 - requesting CAPS, sending CAPS, requesting aircraft info [00:37:12.459] Received capabilities list from: AAL725 - MODELDESC=1:ATCINFO=1 [00:37:12.460] Model match result - Callsign: AAL725 - TypeCode: A321 - ModelName: FAIB Airbus A321-200 SL IAE American Airlines - Rule Set: C:\Users\Josh\Docomeents\vPilot Files\Model Matching Rule Sets\AI Matching Rules Generated.vmr - Priority: 1 - P[Mod - Happy Thoughts]: 1 [00:37:17.212] Aircraft added to sim: AAL725 [00:37:17.256] SimConnect error: Failed to create aircraft AAL725 using model "FAIB Airbus A321-200 SL IAE American Airlines". This usually means you have vPilot configured wrong! Specifically, it means that you have downloaded model matching rule sets without having the actual AI models installed in your flight simulator! Read the vPilot model matching docomeentation for details. vPilot will try to create the aircraft with a different model. [00:37:17.265] Aircraft deleted - Callsign: AAL725 - Reason: MissingModel [00:37:21.983] Aircraft discovered: AAL725 - requesting CAPS, sending CAPS, requesting aircraft info [00:37:22.498] Received capabilities list from: AAL725 - MODELDESC=1:ATCINFO=1 [00:37:22.502] Model match result - Callsign: AAL725 - TypeCode: A321 - ModelName: FAIB Airbus A319-100 SL CFM American Airlines - Rule Set: C:\Users\Josh\Docomeents\vPilot Files\Model Matching Rule Sets\AI Matching Rules Generated.vmr - Priority: 1 - P[Mod - Happy Thoughts]: 2 Right now it's forcing any AAL A321 to become an AAL A319 and I really don't know why. I haven't encountered this error with any other model. Anyone have any ideas what's going on here? Regards, Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley Grafelman Posted August 18, 2015 at 03:12 AM Posted August 18, 2015 at 03:12 AM Can you post the contents of the aircraft.cfg file which contains the "FAIB Airbus A321-200 SL IAE American Airlines" model? (You might just want to paste it into pastebin and post the link here based on how large the file is.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1275389 Posted August 18, 2015 at 03:42 AM Author Posted August 18, 2015 at 03:42 AM Now that I posted it, I know what the exact issue is. Looks like I forgot to change the "fltsim.X" to "fltsim.0" Here's the paste (I prefer pastie over pastebin haha): aircraft.cfg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted August 18, 2015 at 03:43 AM Board of Governors Posted August 18, 2015 at 03:43 AM Yep, that would do it! Don Desfosse Vice President, Operations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1275389 Posted August 18, 2015 at 04:08 AM Author Posted August 18, 2015 at 04:08 AM Is there any way I can force a model on an aircraft to test certain model matching rules? I know you can test all, but can you test one specific one at a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1275389 Posted August 18, 2015 at 04:26 AM Author Posted August 18, 2015 at 04:26 AM I remember that I actually got the model working two days ago, but encountered something weird, so I re-installed it (and forgot the .X). I fixed that and now am back to my first problem...this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnathan Lee Posted August 18, 2015 at 11:03 AM Posted August 18, 2015 at 11:03 AM I had the black aircraft and iirc it was related to dx10.(where the particular aircraft was not dx10 compatible). going back to dx9 solved that. I have no idea why the nose of the plane is kissing the tarmac though. /regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1275389 Posted August 18, 2015 at 02:08 PM Author Posted August 18, 2015 at 02:08 PM The ground kissing should have to do with whether the sim thinks the model has gears/if they are down. It's particularly strange because the A319 counterpart by the same author works perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted August 18, 2015 at 09:51 PM Board of Governors Posted August 18, 2015 at 09:51 PM Did you ensure DirectX 10 is NOT selected? Don Desfosse Vice President, Operations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1275389 Posted August 18, 2015 at 10:39 PM Author Posted August 18, 2015 at 10:39 PM DX10 preview right? It isn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted August 19, 2015 at 01:26 AM Board of Governors Posted August 19, 2015 at 01:26 AM Correct. OK. That was the only thing I can remember that would trigger black aircraft. Don Desfosse Vice President, Operations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradley Grafelman Posted August 19, 2015 at 03:42 AM Posted August 19, 2015 at 03:42 AM Didn't one of the shadow options on the Aircraft tab also tend to cause issues? If I had to guess, it was the "Aircraft casts shadows on itself" one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1275389 Posted August 19, 2015 at 03:50 AM Author Posted August 19, 2015 at 03:50 AM Not checked either. Tested out a few settings and it had no effect on the weird plane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1275389 Posted August 19, 2015 at 04:27 AM Author Posted August 19, 2015 at 04:27 AM Installed the FS9 A321, model appears properly, texture doesn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
