Correct ICAO and AI models, but I can see regional jet

Today an Emirates B772 was flying above me and I saw him as a Regional Jet. He had correct icao B772, UAE in callsign, he used vPilot as well. I wrote to him and he sad he could see me as a Regional Jet too. That is very strange to me, because everything seems okay. Is it a vPilot match bug or I should check something? AI model is working! At least the default livery B772, because I saw a bit later that factory livery with on other aircraft used B772 type.

Perhaps because Emirates only operates B77L, B773, and B77Ws.

That's a fact, but there is 2 more option before vPilot uses Regional jet:

1. Same airline with a similar aircraft type (B77L,B773,B77W)

2. The used aircraft type with default livery (B772)

I have 3x Emirates livered AI and a default B772. In addition I was flying with a common Wizzair A321 and I was a regional jet in his view too. So just no idea... I hope it was just a random bug.

Are the emirates 777 AI models "identified" by vpilot if you look in the advanced model matching settings?

Yeah, they are identified. During the days I checked some UAE 777 flights and everything was okay, so I hope it was just a small bug
