Brandon Robinson Posted August 24, 2022 at 05:18 PM Posted August 24, 2022 at 05:18 PM I selected B772 as my model match for my flight but when you look at my details in the VATSIM Map, the "Aircraft" field is blank. Any ideas why?? Thanks, Brandon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas why?? Model matching has to do with how you see other aircraft in your sim. It does not have any affect on the data shown in VATSIM mapping tools. So what do you mean by "I selected B772 as my model match"? The "Aircraft" field in map.vatsim.net I believe comes from the flight plan, so did you file a flight plan?

Brandon Robinson Posted August 24, 2022 at 11:20 PM Author Posted August 24, 2022 at 11:20 PM When you launch vPilot then click Connect, for Type Code I enter in the aircraft I'm using. Thats actually what I meant by model match. And yes, I had filed a flight plan. Update: I can see my aircraft now but I have to click on Data at map.vatsim.net, then my specific Aircraft type.

Brandon Robinson Posted August 25, 2022 at 12:44 AM Author Posted August 25, 2022 at 12:44 AM Yes, thats what I see now but I have to click on Data -> Aircraft -> B777-200 -> UAL1021, then it shows up. It used to just show up when I open map.vatsim.net. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Waldon Posted August 25, 2022 at 12:20 PM Posted August 25, 2022 at 12:20 PM Hello @Brandon Robinson, Based on your SimAware screenshot, your aircraft was in the vicinity of the International Date Line going from PHNL to RJAA. The SimAware map does not display traffic if you pan the map to the west past that area. You would need to pan the map to the east to view traffic over in that area of the world. It's just the way you have to view traffic on the SimAware map. An example is shown in my screenshot. If you look at the west pacific ocean (red circle) to the left, no traffic displayed. If you look at the far right side of the map, all the traffic is displayed. Hopefully this makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandon Robinson Posted August 26, 2022 at 04:47 AM Author Posted August 26, 2022 at 04:47 AM Oh wow! Yes, it makes perfect sense. I've never flown an int'l flight in that direction so it makes sense, and now I know. THANK YOU!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
