Post a screenshot of the model matching pages in vPilot (step 3 and 4 in the linked PDF file). Verify that all FLAI models are installed in the exact same folder that is listed in vPilot's model matching dialog.

That looks correct. Could you also please post a screenshot the "Custom Rules" dialog (Step 4) in the PDF?

... and that looks correct too. Not sure what else to suggest. Did you read this post? viewtopic.php?f=132&t=64672

 

Last thing to try would be to connect and check the debug window:

 

For model matching rule set troubleshooting purposes, perhaps try this:

1. Using the .aircraft function of vPilot (type .aircraft on the command line to activate), go to the Aircraft tab. Look at the callsign and aircraft type of the planes in question.

2. Look at your model matching rule set to see if that airline and model are supported within the model matching rule set you selected. If so, go to the next step. If not, there's your answer; vPilot said, "Hey that airline doesn't fly an XXXX (where XXXX is the model), and I couldn't find that airline's XXXX in any of the model matching rule sets that you prioritized below the model matching rule set you selected (e.g. WOAI, VIP, etc.), but I found a generic XXXX, so I'll just show you a white one." Or, similarly for an invalid aircraft type, vPilot said, "Hey, there's no such thing as a 'ZZZZ' (e.g., somewhat commonly we see aircraft logged on as ZZZZ which is obviously wrong, or often as a PA28 (should be P28A), etc.), so I'll just show you the default white A321 (or whatever you have selected as a default).

3. Verify that you actually have a XXXX installed within FSX/P3D. If not, there's your answer; vPilot said, "Hey, you selected a model matching rule set that told me to go to your FSX/P3D and find an XXXX, in that airline's colors, but you don't have one. So then I went down all of the model matching rule sets that you prioritized below the model matching rule set that gave you the error (e.g. WOAI, VIP, etc.), and I still couldn't find an XXXX in that airline's colors, but I found a generic XXXX, so I'll just show you a white one." (Note that if you didn't have a generic white B732 installed in your FSX, you'd get the default A321 (in FSX))

One other thought.... Delete the FLAi .vmr file and see if that helps. I haven't played with model matching in a while (so this could be bad advice but the worst that could happen is you just need to reinstall it), but I don't have any custom rule sets in my vPilot installation anymore and I see aircraft/liveries just fine. Give that a shot and see if that helps!
