I am getting a lot of 'Model matching errors' when i fly on VATSIM.
I have most major airlines from WOAI.
Do i have to Download and install every airline in the world? That would take some doing!!?!
Is there a file of the airlines, which will install all?
Or am i missing a step with the VATSIM interface? I am using vPilot.
Thanks for any help given.
Sorry for the late reply I just now spotted this post.
I flew for VATSIM some time ago so things may have changed since than, But the problem with VATSIM was if you do not have a aircraft in your fleet that matches the one that shows up on your radar the aircraft that you see could be absolutely anything. For example suppose someone is flying a B747-400 if you do not have a B747-400 in your fleet it will pick the next closet thing it can find to represent the aircraft. So if you happen to have a B747-200 that is what you would see otherwise you could see anything from a B737;B757;B767 or any airbus that you might have.
If you had no jet aircraft in your fleet you could even see a Cessna 150. That was one of the things that I did not like about VATSIM or any online flying had the same problem.
And to my knowledge there is no program that will install every aircraft that is made onto your system.
The only thing you can do is to try to have at least 1 model of every type and that would help.
There is not that much difference between a B747-400 and a b747-200. Or a B737-300 and a B737-400 in this case the quickest way to spot the difference is the number of emergency escape windows on the wing A B737-300 has two windows and a B737-400 only has one I might have this backwards it has been 15 years since I worked at KJAX and used to fuel these aircraft
