No VATSIM planes only AI planes

[Gabriel Adei]

I need help badly as I have tried everything I know and posting on other threads not getting response

I cannot see other vatsim flyers and still have AI planes on the ground at the gates even though I have multiplayer turned off, live traffic turned off, AI turned off etc

I did model matching and this is the results

Settings for simulator : MSFS

Last aircraft model scan performed on: Aug 28, 2022 17:19

Results: 237 models found, 0 identified

No matter what I do I get 0 identified, is that where my probelm is. I have tried many other settings. I can hear pilots on the frequency but my sim is full of AI planes instead of vatism pilots. I know there are pilots in the vicinity etc as I use VatSpy as well. And definately not the number of AI planes around me makes sense.

I suspect the issue is with your MSFS settings, not vPilot.

In MSFS   :-

GENERAL OPTIONS >>> DATA  Mutiplayer should be set to ON

GENERAL OPTIONS >>> Traffic >>> Aircraft Traffic Type set to OFF

Thank you sir, I will try checking my settings again and give feedback

Sir

I checked all my settings and confirmed it matched the recommendations you gave me.

However on an evening flight today I could not see any vatsim aircraft. Still had AI aircraft allover

I know I was near other vatsim flight because of the ATC chatter on ground at KIAH and KLAX.

What am I missing. 

Please help

If you have Traffic set to off, you should not even be seeing AI traffic.  Are you sure it's not Vatsim traffic ?  MSFS does not show the traffic tail number etc like FSX does.   It could be it is Vatsim traffic, but MSFS is only showing ASOBO default aircraft ?       May be worth you trying to work with someone, and both log on at adjacent stands to definitively establish if it's AI or Vatsim traffic you are seeing.

Sir, awesome tip! All along I was seeing vatsim planes but I guess the problem is that all the other planes are the same model and variant. So I see just one type of plane all over. Now to fix that issue I tried model matching etc but not working so far.

I am no expert when it comes to model matching, and maybe someone else can pitch in here.  But have a look at this video which explains the use of AIG ( Alpha India Group ) for model matching.  You can spend hours / days installing all the liveries, or just select a few that are relevant to you.  May be worth trying just one or two first and see if it works .

The quickest and easiest way to get those AIG-models is this one: https://github.com/Samueleonard/AIG-ModelMatching-For-MSFS

I think I have made some progress by downloading the suggested links. I have them working (at least I hope) but I am getting lots of these errors and I think most of the planes I am seeing are Spirit Airlines airbus.

See the attached.

What am I doing wrong. I do appreciate all the help so far.
