multiplayer/model matching model

@b3lt3r Yeah, friend and I show up as like, er, Pipers to each other in MSFS multiplayer.

[b3lt3r]

@melon You both have genric multiplayer plane options disabled in options? I had that switched on for a while because I saw it impacted performance but decided I couldn't live with it.... If you are free, I'm currently prepping at ramp 69L at EGCC

[Melon]

@b3lt3r I'm not sure honestly, I may have turned that on for performance but that was so very long ago. What server are you on, just closed my game but can reopen it pretty quick.

[b3lt3r]

I seem to be on West Europe

[Melon]

@b3lt3r

That is with 'Generics' turned off. Can see the Fenix in the background so it is loading other planes in.

And I need to turn my EGCC back on, default is horrid.

[b3lt3r]

@melon dang - I see you

[b3lt3r]

@b3lt3r I will try with my mate again and see what we see

[Melon]

@b3lt3r I show as a 146 for you? What livery are you using? Not that it shouldn't really matter MSFS has a habit of picking random liveries in multiplayer.

[b3lt3r]

@melon no sorry - I should be clear - I see you as a piper or something. I am using Macc EGCC and it's a downloaded Dan Air livery for the -300 as I'm flying for the Dan Air Virtual and I prefer the 300 over 100

[b3lt3r]

@b3lt3r as we're here - let me load in as a 100 with the stock livery and see if that is better

[Melon]

@b3lt3r I prefer the 300 as well for the most part, its what I loaded in here as with the downloaded BRA livery.

[b3lt3r]

@melon k - I don't have that livery so if you rejoin with a stock and it doesn't work then it's clearly borked

[b3lt3r]

Bingo! - The livery clearly matters (assuming you also see me as 146 now)

[Melon]

@b3lt3r Seemingly, I wonder why though since MSFS has a habit of changing other peoples liveries mid flight anyway. I hadn't loaded the -100 since the last update either so when you first loaded in your were a 787, but reloading and loading in as a -100 seemed to work, for now at least.

[b3lt3r]

@melon Cool - I need to respawn in my 300 as the flight is set up for that and the VA get a bit picky :-)

[Melon]

@b3lt3r Am I showing as Jersey to you?

[b3lt3r]

@melon you were when I was in the 100 - just back in 300

[b3lt3r]

@b3lt3r and now you STILL show as a 146..... This sim is mystical in it's ways

[Melon]

@b3lt3r Yeah...

Looking at the files for the downloaded liveries it has these options, I wonder if changing those to '1' would allow the sim to use them like other liveries for multiplayer.

But anyway, I'm going to bed now. Thanks for the help.

@melon np - good to "talk"
