CSL issue

I've had the bluebell package installed for a while now (XP11) and notice that AAL aircraft are almost always displaying the incorrect livery, Finnair, Iran Air, Concord, Avianca, all kinds of carriers except AAL.  Any advice on what may be going on?

If you enable debug logging in the xPilot plugin settings, xPilot will log the CSL model matching results to the X-Plane log.txt file. Enable debug logging (then restart X-Plane before flying) and upload the log after your next flight if you're still experiencing anomalies with AAL aircraft. Details on how to enable debugging logging can be found here: https://beta.xpilot-project.org/#/xplane?id=advanced-options

You can read about how the CSL model matching algorithm works here (this is the library that xPilot uses to render VATSIM traffic): https://twinfan.github.io/XPMP2/Matching.html

Thanks for the heads up on logging csl, there's clearly a mess of issues with csl according to the log file.  Not sure where to start except maybe a different package.

You seem to have two installations of the BlueBell.

'Resources/plugins/xPilot/Resources/CSL//BB_Virtual/BB_Air_Spain_VA' is already in use by 'Resources/plugins/xPilot/Resources/CSL// Bluebell/BB_Virtual/BB_Air_Spain_VA/

So, when I erase the CSL package and let xPilot download and install using the .downloadcsl command, there problem remains, two AAL aircraft on the ground at CLT show up as Germania and Alitalia.  Other airlines seem okay.  This was the section from the log file on CSL...

Remove one of those.

Thanks, the second one was a new download from BB on top of the xPilot installed on, I removed both and did one (and both alone)  and still the same issue.

Doing some reading on other forums, I also wonder if this is just a matter of some of the liveries are just not right.  Being observing at a busy field and see that some AAL are okay, some are not, and even had a DAL show up as Air India.

There are two matches that needs to be done, model and livery. If the model does not match, how is the replacement chosen? There is a selection for default model, which I have set as A320. Does that mean if AAL A321 is not found it replaces it with AAL A320 or by random A320?

Yesterday I was at EDDF and there was a CRJ depicted as F22... I have no idea what algorithm generated that.
