E175 didn't model match on Vatsim
-
I was playing Vatsim, and a Skywest (Delta) E175 didn't model match correctly. It was showing the default, large airliner model. The VMR file was active in Vatsim, and the models are being referenced in Vatsim too. What is the correct way to correct this, even if it means not having the exact livery? I see there is a DAL E175 in the Aircraft Manager, but I'm guessing because the flight number was SKW... it wasn't able to reference it correctly. But then wouldn't it just go to the fallback white E175?

@trailerswift89 Hello,
I think you're correct. The airline codes were generated from our flight plan data which all regional flights as their respective major airline. I'll update the VMR file for the next release to include the regionals. FS Traffic doesn't include the 175 but the 170 so you the best thing is to match to the DAL E170.
In the meantime you can add this line to your VMR file
<ModelMatchRule CallsignPrefix="SKW" TypeCode="E170" ModelName="JustFlight_AI_E170_DeltaAirLinesDAL" />Regards

Thank you! I used the FS Traffic software to setup better model matching using the E170, CRJ's, and E145 on several of the US regional airlines. I can share the XML file with you if you'd like.
