Max Schibli Posted December 16, 2016 at 11:10 AM Posted December 16, 2016 at 11:10 AM Hi Dear Pilots, I probably was too quick to upgrade vpilot. Fellow pilots saw my plane as an airbus A321 whilst I chose from FSX a Cessna C414. In spite of the messages in vpilot informing me that the upgrade was well performed, I have no access to other planes which could been seen by other pilots. The Default Model is the Airbus A321 and I have no clue how to replace this plane, e.g. with the C414 or an other. Could anybody help? Thanks Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted December 16, 2016 at 02:31 PM Posted December 16, 2016 at 02:31 PM The configuration of model matching only affects how you see other planes ... it has no effect at all on how other pilots see you. The only thing that affects how other pilots see you is your callsign and the aircraft type you enter when you connect to VATSIM. If you are flying a C414 and other pilots are seeing you as the default airbus A321, that means they don't have any C414 model installed to show you as.

Max Schibli Posted December 17, 2016 at 11:26 AM Author Posted December 17, 2016 at 11:26 AM (edited) Thanks for replying. All other pilots, we are 6 in a group to use C414s and they see each other as C414, except me. They see me as an Airbus in spite of the fact that I also use a C414. So what can or what should I do?

Richard Walsh Posted December 17, 2016 at 06:11 PM Posted December 17, 2016 at 06:11 PM How you are seen is controlled by the other persons aircraft library ( whether they have that model is their AI) and by the pilot (you) imputing the correct aircraft type in your vpilot connection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board of Governors Don Desfosse Posted December 17, 2016 at 08:05 PM Board of Governors Posted December 17, 2016 at 08:05 PM If you log into the network the same way as you file your flight plans, you are actually the culprit. Instead of filing as a C414, you're filing as an "A". vPilot model matches based upon the aircraft type you log in with (not what you put in your flight plan). But if you're logging in with an aircraft type of "A", that's why your friends cannot see you. Separately, and having nothing to do with model matching, I noticed you've been filing your flight plans with an equipment suffix code of /Z. While I suppose it's possible (but very much not probable) that your Chancellor has /Z RNAV capability without GNSS and with RVSM, I'd far more expect it to be /G or /A or /U.
