Hello everyone 
! Happy New Year.
Can someone Help me please? In the history i had some porblems with my Fenix A320 so i reinstalled it, the same with vpilot. Simconnect problems. After i fixed all and all works but only the Model matching didnt workā¦
I reintalled and delete my MSFS2020 CFG no reslt.
Thank you
best regards
Push, i have the same problem. VPilot doesnĀ“t find any models.
It seems vPilot doesnĀ“t recognize the correct folder. What do I have to change to tell vPilot where the folder is?
any solution on this one? Have the same problem since yesterday ā¦ all worked fine until a failed update of FSLTL. Now a no more models found. 
You need to point Vpilot custom rule set to the FSLTL_Rules.vmr file.
Unfortunately, linking the vmr file makes no difference :(. Today I found out that the fsdreamteam gsx folder (linked folder) in the community folder makes vpilot unable to recognize my models. If I remove gsx I have 3.5k model matches, with gsx I have 0. This makes absolutely no sense in my opinion 
Tested locally, and it seems to be an issue with 2020 and 2024 with the new version of GSX - mine was working fine, until I updated GSX.
Iāve reached out to Ross so he can find the cause and fix it - or at least point out what on GSX is causing the issue so they can fix it on their end
I just released 3.11.1 which fixes the issue. Thanks all!
ello,
I recently bought a new PC and installed my Steam MSFS 2020.
Installed the latest vPilot client today March 21st (3.11.1 / GSX not yet installed)
I got the message : āthe specified default model for MSFS not found during last scanā¦ā
The āOfficialā file of MSFS is now installed on the C SSD containing all the ASOBO models but the MSFS.exe is on the D SSD. On my old PC the āOfficialā file was on the D SSD.
Each scan canāt detect the ASOBO models (on C/user/ā¦/Appdata/MSFS/packages/official).
How could I help vPilot to point to the models on my C SSD (in my Community folder I already have thr FBW FSLTL, all the addon aircrafts as PMDG, Fenix, FBW, etc).
Is vPilot finding the models in your Community folder packages?
Hello Ross,
Thanks for the reply.
No not at all I think.
vPilot finds some of them in the advanced tab of vPilot, only the PMDG aircrafts. But no result if I select one of the PMDG among the few PMDG appearing.
In my new PC all the ASOBO models and the other ones (Fenix etc.) are in the Official file of MSFS located in C/ā¦/appdata/Packages/where are both Community folder and Official folder.
On my old PC the Official file of MSFS was located on my E drive, E drive which doesnāt exist on my new PC
Some more informations if it could help :
C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator/Packages/Official/Steam : where all the ASOBO models are / in the same root file āPackagesā is the Community folder where I only have addon aircrafts and addon sceneries but no ASOBO model
D:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\MicrosoftFlightSimulator : where the MSFS .exe file is
I donāt understand what you are saying here. Can you explain what you mean by this?
I understand.
I simply mean when entering your personal data in vPilot Settings you have this tab called āAdvancedā where you can select one of the airplanes appearing in there.
And for me only the PMDG planes installed appear there. With no result in selecting one of them as default model.
I think apart from this that all the problem consist in what the scan is doing : āLocating Simobjets folderā. This folder exists in the MSFS file on C (via users etc.) .I donāt understand why the scan canāt point to it ? Iām gonna prospect now the security of each file (read only, write etc). Cross the fingers !
Iām still not sure what you mean. You donāt āselectā a file on the Advanced model matching settings tab. That tab simply allows you to exclude models from being used by vPilot for automatic model matching, and sort the folders by priority.
So I donāt know what you mean by āWith no result in selecting one of them as default model.ā You change the default model by entering the model title in the regular model matching settings, not the advanced settings.
Anyway, when vPilot is scanning for models, it first locates your usercfg.opt file, which has a line at the end which contains the full path to your packages folder. This path points to the location of the official and community folders. vPilot then scans all subfolders there looking for layout.json files. It then reads all of those files to find models that are installed.
Ok for the advanced tab.
The usercfg.opt file showed correctly this path : InstalledPackagesPath āC:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulatorā
but the scan still couldnāt find any models at all although itās clearly the way to the Packages containing the community and official file with all the models.
I completely uninstalled MSFS and will try to install it once again but on C only not anymore on D as I did first. Maybe it was the problem as the MSFS .exe file was on D and all the usefull packages on C.
vPilot does not care where the .exe is. It only cares what is shown in the usercfg.opt file. If that is pointing to the right folder, and that folder has both Official and Community subfolders, then it should find the models no problem.
Try running vPilot in debug mode using one of the start menu shortcuts that includes āDebugā in the title. This will make the vPilot log files contain more information about the scan. Then, go into vPilot and press the āRescanā¦ā button on the model matching settings tab, to force a new scan. Then enter the ā.showlogsā command in the vPilot command line. That will open a Windows Explorer window showing the contents of your vPilot installation, including the log files. The log files will have a filename containing the current date. Send me the latest log file via private message, and Iāll see if there are any clues there.
