Invisible Aircraft

I just updated to vPilot v2 and some of the traffic on vatsim is invisible, most of them appear ok, but there are a select few that I cannot see.

 

For example a 747-400 matches to the correct livery etc...

 

However a 777-200GE will not show up as anything, just invisible, even though I have the liveries installed through WOAI also I have the PMDG version available that it could match to, but doesnt?

 

Is there a way to fix this?

It seems to be any aircraft with a prefix, like A319 IAE etc...

Okay so I found that if I disable aircraft cast shadows on ground that the models with prefixes will come back and I can see them, however I quite like having aircraft shadows on the ground.

 

Is there a way to have this option enabled and still see the aircraft?

Sadly that was a bug that shipped with FSX. The only way is to replace the model being used to show that particular one.

Ahh, that would require me replacing a lot of models. I guess I will get used to no shadows

 

Thanks Norman
