Julian Ponsard Posted February 21, 2022 at 10:59 PM Posted February 21, 2022 at 10:59 PM Is the callsign connected to the livery? What I mean by this is that does having a certain callsign show a different livery for people connected to the server. For example: If I spawn in with a UAL livery, and connect to the server with a AAL callsign, will the people around me see a plane with the United logo in it or the American logo. I'm asking this because I just got the Aerosoft a320/a321 package, but the livery manager doesn't work so my liveries are limited to the TAP, Airbus, and Aerosoft liveries.

It should be tied to the callsign, not the livery you see in your sim. the client is what is transmitting your aircraft type and company of the airline, related to the callsign you are using when you sign onto the network. If I am using a B39M in my sim, and the only livery I have is the SWA livery, but I sign on using a UAL callsign, a livery matching UAL with that aircraft type should so up in that other user's sim. Last I remember, a database of such types should be installed along with the client you are using. Ross should be able to confirm that, but I believe that is how it has been. BL.

Ross Carlson Posted February 22, 2022 at 12:25 AM Posted February 22, 2022 at 12:25 AM It depends on the client. For example, with vPilot, your callsign prefix (airline code) is what determines the livery others see you with. If you're using swift, I believe you can specify the livery when you connect. I plan to update vPilot to work similarly. 2 Developer: vPilot, VRC, vSTARS, vERAM, VAT-Spy Senior Controller, Boston Virtual ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask this, as I previously had great success in msfs2020 prior to Update 9. I have a large collection of aircraft liveries, in 2 libraries (IVAO CSL and aig) I have a collection of 10 .vmr files (currently installed is the latest AVGeek plus airlines. I have previously run the aig manager, and Model Matching Magic. Model Matching Magic reports over 4000 aircraft liveries in the Community/aig-airtraffic-oci-beta folder. I only see a fraction of real liveries in sim, with 80%+ in generic unbranded colours. Are you able to describe where I may be at fault in my setup? Best wishes The only time you have too much fuel onboard is when you're on fire! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted May 26, 2022 at 03:09 PM Posted May 26, 2022 at 03:09 PM (edited) I recently made an update to vPilot that may fix this ... what version are you running? Try running version 3.4.0, which is available in the Beta updates channel.

Andrew McCabe Posted May 26, 2022 at 06:44 PM Posted May 26, 2022 at 06:44 PM Myself and a few others in my VA had similar issues a few weeks ago even when running the latest version of vPilot. However, uninstalling and reinstalling vPilot resolved the matching problem. No idea why, but it worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In order to get my file structure correct, can you explain what files are in use by vPilot (the AIG structure, or the ivao .dds files? I have both) Thanks again.

I have over 4000 aircraft spread across the aig and ivao databases in my Community folder, but vPilot, on load, only sees 348 of them. Obviously I'd like to maximise the liveries seen when connected to Vatsim. I still have many red lines for liveries not found. I have tried to discover how msfs2020 handles these things but as usual Asobo/MS aren't very helpful...

Ross Carlson Posted May 27, 2022 at 03:35 PM Posted May 27, 2022 at 03:35 PM Sounds like the models aren't installed correctly. Your best bet would be to seek help from AIG.
