Andreas Thomsen Posted December 6, 2022 at 12:32 PM Posted December 6, 2022 at 12:32 PM (edited) Hi! Usually you take the "title" from the aircraft.cfg. This file doesn't exist for marketplace planes. Even the vPilot internal matching doesn't show the planes but only the standard and community planes. How do I get the plane's "title" for a custom VMR? Kind regards, Andreas Edited December 6, 2022 at 12:34 PM by Andreas Thomsen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross Carlson Posted December 6, 2022 at 05:01 PM Posted December 6, 2022 at 05:01 PM You could maybe read it through simconnect while you have that plane loaded as the aircraft you're flying. However, are you sure you want to use those planes for model matching? If they're flyable aircraft, they usually have a much more complex 3D model than "AI" planes, and may negatively affect your framerate if you use them for model matching.

Thank you. I hoped I missed a more convenient way. Quote However, are you sure you want to use those planes for model matching?

Well, for a lot of GA planes there are no good AI models. But I fly VFR with my friends and performance never was an issue so far. But isn't that what vPilot does as well, "no AI in a VMR, then the standard model"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the default model (by default) is a model designed for AI usage, not a complex flyable aircraft. Users can override this, of course, and change the default model to something complex, but it is not recommended, for the same reason it's not recommended to use complex models in your VMR files. As you've experienced, it should be fine with small groups doing VFR flying.
