Anders Loberg 1173529 Posted June 28, 2018 at 06:52 PM Posted June 28, 2018 at 06:52 PM Hello fellow simmers! Been scratching my head the past days trying to get my model-matching to work with vPilot. I've tried with UTlive models, BVAI models and vPilotAI models, but no matter what i do vPilot won't recognize the aircraft. It seems like it's not able to identify that there are actual models and aircraft in the subfolders.. It can identify the aircraft that i have installed in my SimObjects-folder (all my PMDG aircraft etc.) Has anyone experienced this before? I've also tried with both the stable version of vPilot and the beta without success... See attached screenies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Carlson Posted June 28, 2018 at 07:38 PM Posted June 28, 2018 at 07:38 PM I'm looking for a screenshot of the folders that shows zero models, such as the BVAI\SimObjects\Airplanes folder ... please post a screenshot of that ... the entire window, not just a section of it.

Ross Carlson Posted June 28, 2018 at 10:36 PM Posted June 28, 2018 at 10:36 PM Can you send me your model scan result file? It'll be in the same folder as the vPilot.exe, and it'll be named ModelScanResult-Prepar3dV4.xml ... you can send me a PM with the URL to download it from a dropbox, google drive, etc. Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anders Loberg 1173529 Posted June 29, 2018 at 12:12 PM Author Posted June 29, 2018 at 12:12 PM Update: It seems like it picks up the actual models, but not the liveries. Flew a short hop today and it displays the models correctly, but only in white liveries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted June 29, 2018 at 10:47 PM Posted June 29, 2018 at 10:47 PM I'm not sure why it's not finding any of the model data in the aircraft.cfg files ... can you send me one of them? Such as this one: C:\Users\Anders Loberg\Docomeents\Prepar3D v4 Add-ons\BVAI\SimObjects\Airplanes\BVA_C172\aircraft.cfg Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross Carlson Posted June 30, 2018 at 12:59 AM Posted June 30, 2018 at 12:59 AM The file looks fine ... exactly the same as the one from my own installation of BVAI. I'm not sure why vPilot isn't able to read the files ... maybe a permissions issue? Have you tried running vPilot as an administrator? Note that you will need to go into the model matching settings and press the Rescan button to trigger a new scan.

Anders Loberg 1173529 Posted June 30, 2018 at 01:17 AM Author Posted June 30, 2018 at 01:17 AM Yeah i've tried it all... Can't wrap my mind around what the issue can be. I've sort of found a fix tho. Whenever i move all the BVAI aircraft in my Simobjects/Airplanes folder in my P3D installation, it recognizes all the models. But i don't really have the harddrive capacity to have it there... So it seems like there is some kind of config or something that blocks P3D/vPilot from reading the models/liveries externally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Geckler Posted June 30, 2018 at 12:43 PM Posted June 30, 2018 at 12:43 PM Maybe check the permissions on the folder that they are in?

Anders Loberg 1173529 Posted June 30, 2018 at 02:02 PM Author Posted June 30, 2018 at 02:02 PM Hey Ryan! Already checked permissions to all folders involved without any luck.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarke Kruger Posted June 30, 2018 at 05:30 PM Posted June 30, 2018 at 05:30 PM Maybe a long shot but is your BVAI folder showing in your add-on XML?

Ross Carlson Posted June 30, 2018 at 06:13 PM Posted June 30, 2018 at 06:13 PM Maybe a long shot but is your BVAI folder showing in your add-on XML? It must be, because that's how vPilot finds add-on folders.
