Do you fly on VATSIM with vPilot? Are you loving the FSLTL models? But do you wish that general aviation aircraft were represented by something better than generic Asobo aircraft?
Me too! That's why I made this supplemental set of model matching rules. This does not replace FSLTL rules but it operates in addition to FSLTL to give basic representation of general aviation aircraft when you're flying online.
What to do...
- Install FSLTL Traffic Base Models as usual
- Download GA_Matching_Supplement.vmr and place it in a convenient location for you to access from vPilot
- As is usual for FSLTL, go to vPilot >Settings > Model Matching > Custom Rules, and add the existing FSLTL_Rules.vmr at the top of the list
- After FSLTL_Rules.vmr, add GA_Matching_Supplement.vmr
- You should be good to go!
Here's how it works...
If you're flying in VATSIM and you encounter, for example, a Cessna 310, my GA rules will work like this:
- if you have the Blackbird Cessna 310, that will be displayed as the first priority. If not, then...
- if you have the Deluxe edition of MSFS, a Beechcraft Baron will be displayed. If not, then...
- if you have the Standard edition of MSFS, a generic Asobo twin piston aircraft will be displayed.
- (and so hopefully you won't see something crazy like a generic twin-jet airliner!)
How you can help...
I don't own every high-quality GA add-on! And I therefore lack matching details for some of the high-quality aircraft that may be installed in your Community or Official folders. If you would like to see better representation of a type that you have purchased, then please get in touch in the comments. Usually, the information I need is in the "title" value in the aircraft.cfg file.
Would you mind including the HondaJet (HDJT) and VisionJet (SF50) in your next update?

Yes, absolutely! I also recently encountered a Honda Jet, and was shown an Asobo generic twin jetliner!!

Hi! In v1, I have the type code of "B06" going to "Bell 407 Blue Stripes", and I have the type code of "G2CA" going to "Asobo Cabri G2". In v2, I will add "B06T", "B407", "B427", and "B429" to point to that same Bell model. Are there any other improvements you would like to see?
