Matthew Kemp Posted February 2, 2022 at 12:44 PM Posted February 2, 2022 at 12:44 PM OS: Windows 10 Platform: FSX Version: v3.0.6 Hi - Previously I have been using IVAO_MTL2 model library for model matching on VATSIM. I have updated the "atc_models" and "atc_parking_codes" in the aircraft.cfg files of the downloaded IVAO files to ensure vpilot can recognise them. I've recently refreshed my IVAO_MTL2 models (added a few new repaints) and updated vpilot to v3.0.6. However, vpilot is now only finding some of the models. I have tried "Rescan" and restarting my laptop and "Rescan" but the problem remains. The previous versions of vpilot found all of the IVAO_MTL2 models. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Ross Carlson Posted February 2, 2022 at 05:56 PM Posted February 2, 2022 at 05:56 PM The IVAO_B77L section of the file is empty. This means vPilot found no models in the aircraft.cfg file that is within that folder. Can you post that aircraft.cfg file for me?

Ross Carlson Posted February 2, 2022 at 06:11 PM Posted February 2, 2022 at 06:11 PM The file is missing the Category entry. It needs to have a category of "airplane" or "helicopter" in order for vPilot to recognize it. This is a change I made with version 3 in order to prevent cluttering up the model list with stuff like SODE jetway objects.

Matthew Kemp Posted February 2, 2022 at 06:24 PM Author Posted February 2, 2022 at 06:24 PM Okay. I'll have to manually check all my aircraft.cfg's because I've lost ~100 models since the v3 update. Good to know why now though. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted February 2, 2022 at 07:22 PM Posted February 2, 2022 at 07:22 PM If I find that there are a lot of model sets that don't properly specify the category, I may update vPilot such that it includes any models that have a category of airplane or helicopter, as well as any models that don't specify any category at all. I won't do that just for the IVAO model set, though, since I don't want to take deliberate action to support the use of IVAO's models on VATSIM, as they only want their models used on their own network.

Matthew Kemp Posted February 2, 2022 at 07:35 PM Author Posted February 2, 2022 at 07:35 PM Understandable and fair enough. I am the edge case that sims on a gaming laptop without the ability to expand the disk space so I try to optimise my use of AI models for all networks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
