Model matching in msfs?

vPilot will use the default aircraft that come with MSFS. If you want to use custom model sets, you just need to load a VMR file, same as with FSX or P3D.

For us being no experts a clarification for what this means in terms of actions and software needed in detail would be just great.

That information would come from the developers of the add-on livery packs and model sets that are available from the community for MSFS.

Hello all. I installed the new AIG add on yesterday, I also created a custom VMR file. It's really fantastic. I recommend it to everyone. There are a few missing models, but I'm sure they will be added with time (A340 and A330 are missing).

One question : I had the case in EDDF last night where an B378 for which I have a model, but I did not have the right livery appeared as a weird generic A388 or something. How do I get vpilot/msfs to spawn an aircraft with a generic/blank livery but with the correct model?

Other B378s do appear correctly with livery.

Can I create a vmr entry with a wildcard for airline and specify the aircraft model?

Yeah, but you don't need a wildcard, just don't specify any callsign prefix. Specify only the type code and model name.
