Bruno Audoux Posted February 15, 2020 at 04:06 PM Posted February 15, 2020 at 04:06 PM Hi, I know that it is a recurrent problem and every case is different... forgive me, I could not find any help through forums... I flew a formation mission with a friend, and we were flying the same aircraft (M2M Mirage 2000). Once connected with my bird under P3Dv4, I saw him as a F14 (which is not my default model). As for him, under FSX, he saw me as an F18... Over the 32 models existing, none is identified. I tried to disable some of them, but no joy. Regarding my other add-ons, I have the same problem with the A400, Rafale... when my C17 and PC21 lists are fully identified Could someone help me finding a solution? I am hoopeless Thanks in advance Bruno 1 P3D V4.5 on SSD512 - W10.64 All add-ons on HDD 2To Intel Core I9+9900K, RAM32Gb, NVidia RTX2080TI, Surround 3 x 27inc, VR Pimax5K+ Saitex X55, Saitek Yoke Pro + Throttle quadrant, Multi panel, Saitek Rudder pedals, Thrustmaster MFD Cougar x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted February 15, 2020 at 04:54 PM Posted February 15, 2020 at 04:54 PM If a model is not identified, that means its aircraft.cfg file does not define a proper aircraft type code, so vPilot has no way of knowing what type of aircraft the model represents. Therefore it cannot possibly use it for model matching. There are two ways that you can teach vpilot how to use a model for model matching. One is to edit the aircraft.cfg file and put a proper type code in the atc_model line. (For airliners, you also need to put a proper airline code in the atc_parking_codes line ... this is not necessary for military and GA aircraft since those obviously don't have an airline code.) The other way is to create a custom model matching rules file. The vPilot docomeentation has details. 1 Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno Audoux Posted February 16, 2020 at 02:53 PM Author Posted February 16, 2020 at 02:53 PM Thanks Ross for your explanation. Unfortunately I cannot find the line ATC_MODEL... Should I create that line? Please see below one of the many aircraft.

Thanks for more [Mod - Happy Thoughts]istance Regards Bruno 1 P3D V4.5 on SSD512 - W10.64 All add-ons on HDD 2To Intel Core I9+9900K, RAM32Gb, NVidia RTX2080TI, Surround 3 x 27inc, VR Pimax5K+ Saitex X55, Saitek Yoke Pro + Throttle quadrant, Multi panel, Saitek Rudder pedals, Thrustmaster MFD Cougar x2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted February 16, 2020 at 10:09 PM Posted February 16, 2020 at 10:09 PM Since the aircraft type code is the same for all of the [fltsim.xx] sections in the aircraft.cfg file, the atc_model is kept in the [General] section. 1 Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
