I have installed the model matching for MSFS 2020, however when I run vpilot I don't see the Advanced option, only whats in the screenshot. 

I used to have P3D setup but this has now disappeared as I nolonger use it.

I have tried a reinstall of Vpilot but it still does not find it

The advanced option is not applicable for MSFS. Only FSX and P3D. vPilot does not scan your hard drive for models with MSFS like it does for FSX and P3D. It just has hardcoded model matching rules for the MSFS default aircraft. Thus, no advanced tab is necessary.

So do I need to download anything else to get it to work? All I see is the default planes at the moment

Have you installed anything other than default planes for model matching?

Did you install the custom model matching rules?

Yes I have the custom model matching rules in my documents within the vpilot folder. I also have the mega livery pack in the community folder

Do you receive any red error messages when it tries to use those models for model matching?

Yes I do, only a couple, assume those are the only ones in view at that time

Sounds like maybe the custom liveries aren't installed correctly. Hard to say from the limited information I have here, but that's my best guess.

I'm having the same problem of scanning MSFS model matching. I have the same display as Jonathan but BritishAvgeek

appears to have a different vpilot presentation and successfully MSFS model matches!!
