Where is modelmatching.log?

There used to be a really useful file called modelmatching.log in docomeents/vpilot. You could check it at the end of a flight and see which liveries were missing, and spend a few minutes adding these to the models so they worked next time.

 

This looks like it is now gone (along with the also useful similarAircraftTypes.txt where you could override erroneous ICAO codes for aircraft types, e.g., N747 to B744).

 

Is there any way to see which liveries are missing anymore?

 

Bryn.

I removed the model matching log with 2.0 because it is much less useful now that vPilot scans your installed models and autogenerates matching rules.

 

If you want to see which aircraft are not finding a match, you can use the debug log with the -dbglog command line switch. The resulting file will have entries for both successful and failed matches. You can search the file for "Model match failure" and it will show you the callsign and type code that it tried to match.

 

You'll probably want to delete the debug files every so often so they don't eat up too much disk space.

I've tried the -dbglog with the 2.1.17, but no debug log is created. I can only create a debug log using -dbgwin and saving to file. -netlog works, and creates a file as expected.

Yup, looks like I turned off the debug logging and forgot to remove the command line option.

No worries. Is it possible to turn it back on, so we can keep track of missing liveries? Cheers, Bryn.

You can do this in real time by using .aircraft

it will show all the current matches (or mismatches... or no matches).

It’s helpful to have a text file at the end of the flight without having any interaction. I can write a script to filter the log to what I need, and then adjust my AI fleet accordingly.
