Ross Carlson Posted September 30, 2019 at 05:52 PM Posted September 30, 2019 at 05:52 PM I don't understand what you're describing here. What earlier version did you roll back to?

stephen avery 1438077 Posted September 30, 2019 at 07:32 PM Author Posted September 30, 2019 at 07:32 PM basically model matching is not working for me in the newest version as i think its getting confused by having 2 sims listed and im not sure how to correct the issue?

stephen avery 1438077 Posted September 30, 2019 at 10:14 PM Author Posted September 30, 2019 at 10:14 PM version 2.0 works but version 2.2 where you have fsx and fsx se as separate doesnt work! thanks steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen avery 1438077 Posted September 30, 2019 at 11:01 PM Author Posted September 30, 2019 at 11:01 PM version 2.0 works but version 2.2 where you have fsx and fsx se as separate doesnt work! i think its getting confused as they both have identical folder structures can i send a video its a small clip to explain the issue thanks steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted September 30, 2019 at 11:37 PM Posted September 30, 2019 at 11:37 PM Sure, or screenshots. Do you actually have both sims installed or no?

stephen avery 1438077 Posted October 1, 2019 at 12:16 PM Author Posted October 1, 2019 at 12:16 PM ]i have fsx steam that runs but it uses the fsx file which is a bit odd but steam loads.......they both have the same folder pathway so may be confusing vpilot. it works fine with verison 2 and just the fsx selection...see screenshots showing 0 model match, hopefully you can access this link as the forum wont let me upload pics? https://www.dropbox.com/sh/kr0kyiqtwxafl61/AABgWdbb_n22ga_gv7Rbh6L_a?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted October 3, 2019 at 11:45 PM Posted October 3, 2019 at 11:45 PM What do you mean when you say FSX steam runs but uses the "FSX file"? What file?

Ross Carlson Posted October 4, 2019 at 01:43 AM Posted October 4, 2019 at 01:43 AM vPilot doesn't care if they both point to the same folder. The problem is that your FSX:SE installation doesn't have any model sets installed, so the vPilot model matching code has no models to work with. When you run the sim, how do you actually go about launching it?

stephen avery 1438077 Posted October 4, 2019 at 06:30 PM Author Posted October 4, 2019 at 06:30 PM i can launch either the fsx or fsx se exe file and steam lanches no matter what, i have all the models installed as i have no issue with version 2.0, for example there is only 1 docomeents vpilot folder with the .vmr in it so why cant it see it, i thought this was automatic? i guess ill never update to keep it working for me. there are others that are having the same issue oddly enough, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted October 4, 2019 at 06:35 PM Posted October 4, 2019 at 06:35 PM Stephen, please open this folder in a windows explorer window: %appdata%\Microsoft\FSX-SE Within that folder you should see a file called fsx_se.CFG Open that file in a text editor, and search for lines starting with SimObjectPaths Do you find any such lines?

stephen avery 1438077 Posted October 6, 2019 at 12:28 PM Author Posted October 6, 2019 at 12:28 PM ok, i added all the sim objects from my fsx cfg to the fsx se cfg and that worked!! problem solved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted October 6, 2019 at 03:09 PM Posted October 6, 2019 at 03:09 PM Okay, great. I would like to modify vPilot so that it properly detects this situation where you have FSX and FSX:SE both pointing to the same folder. It would be helpful for me to know the simulator name that vPilot detects when you run it. Can you look at the startup messages and tell me exactly what it shows in the line starting with "Connected to simulator." ? For example, mine says: [15:07:38] Connected to simulator.
