Hi everyone! You'll see a LOT of VMR files on this website - but if I'm being honest, they're all kinda redundant now. A member of the community behind the channel has spent a few months creating and improving a program which lets you create a VMR based upon exactly what you have installed in your own community folder - it's the BEST thing we currently have available for MSFS - go check it out!

Tired of default MSFS aircraft on VATSIM? Be sure to find me on YouTube and subscribe to my channel! I have been working on this since the end of September - creating a comprehensive .vmr file for MSFS to be used with VATSIM currently covering most major Airlines
*See the discussion tab for the current long list of airlines included!
EVEN More Model Matching!! - CLICK HERE!
BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER:
There is a REALLY easy way to edit the file to suit exactly what you have in your community folder... I've made a simple tutorial on my channel on how to do this - check it out here
HOW TO EASILY EDIT YOUR VML FILE
v3.0 = Inclusion of the new Aerosoft CRJ Liveries
Providing you have the relevant Megapack Liveries installed - or the most recent liveries from Flightsim.to - it should work fairly well - note that it is currently aimed at Premium Deluxe as it contains the 787-10 for model matching. There is now also a separate folder within the file for Standard Edition users also
Please read the Readme file included for more information and run vPilot as administrator!
This took me a a lot of time and as more flight models/liveries get added to MSFS I'll try update the .vmr too. Performance wise I haven't had any issues - I've included a lot of the airline livery AI model names too when available to help in this regard.

I love the program but is there any way possible to export and to import using CSV file to make it easier without taking hours to do all manually

Hi!
Thanks for your tutorials! I have a question though; Is there a way to download all your flightplans that you use from somewhere, and the corresponding VMR-file? Or should I just use the program and sit for hours downloading everything? 😊

Hi, I'd recommend my AIG VMR and download the AIG installer with most of the airliners on there for the best AI coverage currently for MSFS
LEF_Sim
First of all thank you for all the work done!
I have two weekends of YouTube, google and forum behind me to configure Flight Simulator for Vatsim... "Will be much more easy than xPlane they said..." 😋
After all I still get a lot of "Failed to create aircraft...". Normally I would say I am good in understanding such systems but at the moment I resginate.
Is my understanding of the following right.
We need
1. (All) possible liveries other people use on Vatsim and we want to see. Therefore the Megapack is useful, but this really is way too much gigabyte for my SSD. Do we really need this big files?
2. The ivao x-csl files. I remember the csl files from xPlane. In my understanding they there did what 1. Is now doing in flight simulator. So why do we need it?
3. The .vmr files. They are making the model matching possible. So Vatsim says there is a dude in a KLM a320 and the vrm file checks the local installed liveries for the correct liveries and wohoo shows the correct plane in KLM style.
But as I only have installed three liveries (thats also what the magic modelmatching tool finds out).... Back to 1 😀
That's my understanding. And I think I have done everything like seen in numerous tutorials etc... Still have all of these Failed to load aircraft
(And yes. There are some that work. But I would say Minimum 20 fail messages on a good event day airport).
I am begging for help 😀n

Hi,
I'd recommend using the Modelmatching Magic program that you'll find on this website - hopefully that'll help.
Re: the megapack liveries - they've lost their shine a little and fallen away somewhat so I use liveries mainly from this website too - which is where modelmatching magic comes in - download what you want to see and run that program to make a custom VMR.
Ultimately, you'll still get failures - half the time, it's vpilot being told by MSFS that it cannot display a particular livery so it scans again (up to 4 times) to find a suitable match. This is why you can get multiple dings for one callsign... it's absolutely nothing to do with the file but instead the lack of proper model matching available in MSFS currently for VATSIM and also the way MSFS deals with generating traffic on request by vpilot when it sends the data to it - and even then, MSFS does what it wants sometimes 😊
LEF_Sim 5 month(s) ago
great! Thanks for the fast reply.
So after all we just download whatever liveries for the single planes we want to see and create a .vrm file with the magic model matching tool.
So is the entire IVAO thing obsolet, which you describe in your tutorial from January?
BritishAvgeek 4 month(s) ago
I've had lots of reports that SU5 has caused the IVAO models to be invisible and I've not used them since SU5 got released
P.Dig
Hey, I find the amount of detail in the description a bit confusing. The red text at the top says that everything else is redundant and we should use the 'magic' one you linked that scans the communities folder. So does that mean we don't need to download your one? Or do we download both? In which priority order?
BritishAvgeek 5 month(s) ago
You can download both, put the Modelmatchingmagic one above this one and use this as a "sweeper" to pick up anything modelmatching magic misses.

Thank you for this files !!
I have a question and sorry for my bad english but you mention to:
"For better tracking, please edit at the bottom of both vmr files"
What does that means ?
Thanks.
BritishAvgeek 5 month(s) ago
it means you can add things as you need 😊 I recommend you take a look at another free addon here called Model Matching Magic - makes a custom VMR based on what you have installed, it's very good!
Phil0671 5 month(s) ago
Thanks for the reply.....Ok so, yes if the fact to add more VMR file trough V-Pilot 😉
I will check this addon too.

Anyone noticed any issues with SU5?
BritishAvgeek 6 month(s) ago
Many but it's all in-sim issues that an XML file can't fix sadly
skybirds1011
Will this only work for Vatsim users ?
BritishAvgeek 6 month(s) ago
Yes as it generates a VMR file which is what vPilot uses (VATSIM pilot client to connect to the network)

I have an issue that sound like this "Failed to create aircraft KLM77H using model "Boeing 747-8i Asobo KLM". The model may be corrupt or missing. vPilot will try to create the aircraft with a different model." .. please help me
BritishAvgeek 7 month(s) ago
Try downloading a different version of the livery here and run the ModelMatchingMagic program I made a video on. Nothing we can do until MSFS has a dedicated all-in-one package.

how to install this?
BritishAvgeek 7 month(s) ago
Follow my youtube tutorial
alanelrfc
Hello, can I make all the liveries show on the A320 model? Rather than to install different aircraft types, as to keep it simple. So, if someone shows up in a BA 747, it will show me a BA A320? Can I do that? Thanks
BritishAvgeek 7 month(s) ago
Hi! You can yes but you'll have to entirely re-write the vmr - but for a good starting point use the Standard Edition version in this pack and check out modelmatchingmagic on here too which I've done a video on
mikeyg1982
What mega pack liveries have you used
BritishAvgeek 8 month(s) ago
I use them less and less now. Check out ModelMatchingMagic on this very site - I've covered that over the last 2 weeks and helped make the tutorial for it... it is the best solution we can get so far.
flusiflo 8 month(s) ago
if you dont use Mega Pack Liveries, from where does your liveries come from? IVAO?
BritishAvgeek 8 month(s) ago
Mainly this website. Search in here for Model Matching Magic by mccarl - you want to use that.

i do not know what this is? Can you tell me?
BritishAvgeek 8 month(s) ago
It's a script to make liveries appear for the right callsigns on vPilot / Vatsim if you have them installed

Anyhow, when I start the VPilot I see several planes not matched, which liveries pack do you suggest to install to cover the most planes possible?
thanks!

Any chance you could include the Bredok3d Boeing 737-MAX for all 737 aircraft in the sim?
