Aircraft not appearing unless model matching is deactivated

Hello,

 

I have been using vPilot for quite some time now, and never have I had any issues with model matching.

 

I haven't changed anything for over a month, as I was satisfied with what I was getting. Suddenly I started to not see aircraft anymore, unless I had model matching deactivated. All I could see of them were some lights.

 

As I believe a picture explains it better, here goes: https://prnt.sc/h8gb92 . An aircraft is where the red rectangle is, however all one can see are some of his lights.

 

At this moment I am on an airport with several other aircraft, and this is what I see with model matching activated: http://prntscr.com/h8lzeu . The few aircraft I can see are those that my model matching isn't identifying, thus it's showing the default aircraft.

Now, if I deactivate model matching this is what I see: http://prntscr.com/h8m01l .

 

vPilot is able to find the models: http://prntscr.com/h8m097 . According to my sim the aircraft are identified with correct callsign and aircraft model: http://prntscr.com/h8m1zk .

 

I tried it already with WoAI ; MyTraffic ; IVAO_MTL , but not one of them seems to do the trick.

 

I uninstalled vPilot, deleted the vPilot folder and reinstalled it, didn't help either.

 

I am now out of ideas. Any suggestion of what I could try?

In the display settings window, click on the AIRCRAFT tab. Do you have "Aircraft casts shadows on itself" checked? If so, try unchecking that.
