Uri Tevel Posted April 12, 2020 at 07:45 PM Posted April 12, 2020 at 07:45 PM When I configure the settings in FSX model matching to use MyTraffic models then it shows every aircraft as default model white A321 Changing the default model under FSX to the CRJ doesn't do anything. But when changing the default model under FSX:SE to the CRJ makes every aircraft default white CRJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted April 12, 2020 at 08:32 PM Posted April 12, 2020 at 08:32 PM Does changing the default model to CRJ under FSX work when you have FSX:SE disabled (by renaming the cfg file)? I ask because if you have FSX:SE disabled, vPilot cannot possibly use your FSX:SE default model. Also, based on the screenshots you posted originally, it looks like FSX is recognizing your MyTraffic models just fine. So the thing to check is, when you see an aircraft rendered as your default model, but you think it should be using one of your MyTraffic models, then take a look at the aircraft list (open it with the .aircraft command) and see if the other pilot is using a proper aircraft type code and airline code which match an identified model from your MyTraffic models.

Uri Tevel Posted April 14, 2020 at 01:03 PM Posted April 14, 2020 at 01:03 PM At first changing the default model to CRJ under FSX didn't work when FSX:SE was disabled (I renamed the cfg file). Every aircraft was white A321 even though I had my model matching configured. But after uninstalling vPilot completely and then reinstalling it (making sure to check the empty config file option) everything started to work. I now have only FSX under model matching settings and vPilot renders planes correctly. Thank you so much for the help you gave me. I greatly appreciate the assistance you have provided me.

I've got a similar issue. FSX:SE being the only FSX installed and vpilot seems to recognize FSX:SE and FSX. Thus, model matching doesn't work. I renamed the fsx_se.cfg, did a full reinstall of vpilot and it works now. Thanks Uri for the workaround tip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Uri for the workaround tip! Tim, I'm curious if your registry is set up the same way as Uri's, where the install path for FSX:SE and FSX differ only by the trailing slash. Is that something you can check for me? Here is the post where the registry keys can be found: 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 April 15, 2020 at 02:32 AM Posted April 15, 2020 at 02:32 AM Uri and Tim, I've just made some tweaks to vPilot so that it should properly detect this situation where both the FSX and FSX:SE registry entries exist and point to the same folder. (It now ignores any trailing backslash in the path.) Could you download it and let me know if it properly shows only FSX (and NOT FSX:SE) in your model matching settings? Obviously, you'll need to put your FSX_se.cfg file back into place for it to be a true test.

Somehow I managed to delete the entire FSX-SE folder so that I'm not able to test it under previous conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted April 15, 2020 at 05:17 PM Posted April 15, 2020 at 05:17 PM Thanks for the help. I just released v2.5.1 which has the same fix for ignoring trailing backslashes in the install paths, and adds P3D v5 support. 1 Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
