# In-game Model Matching & VATSIM Matching Rules
Important update note:
From version 0.6.0.0, this model matching can be used either along in the game or in VATSIM
Please follow the Github link for VATSIM matching rules updates: https://github.com/Platohjwang/MSFS2020-Vatsim-Model-Matching
A good model matching can bring both game flights & Vatsim flights as close to reality as possible. This community-driven open source project aims to provide an immersive experience to the community. To maximize the gaming experience, you can also start a request on our Github. All requests will be responded as soon as I can. The vatsim model matching rules are originally based on BritishAvgeek's previous work and deeply modified based on the custom models we have. It is my honor to have your contribution. (Users can replace all vmr files in BritishAvgeek's work)
# Instruction:
1. You need to download the "ivao_x_csl" folded (extracted from the IVAO client) and put it into your MSFS2020 community folder
2. Extract the Aircraft Booster Pack and put additional contents into the "ivao_x_csl" folder (Copy and Replace)
For VATSIM users:
3. Place all downloaded vmr files in the "vPilot files" folder
4. Add model matching files in vPilot client
5. Make sure VATSIM_Model_Matching_Master-Plato.vmr is on top in vPilot
# For vmr file editor:
For better tracking, please edit at the bottom of both vmr files.
Appreciate:)
# Note
Model matching files are widely available on Flightsim.to, you can add them to vPilot as well.
For Airline/Livery model matching, this is the most comprehensive one as far as I know.
Hope you enjoy & thanks to all the contributors

I asked VATSIM group about their thoughts on this particular addon - and I was told this breaks the ToS - the fact that we are instructed to download and use models from IVAO and copy them for use in VATSIM.
Any way to confirm this? I do NOT want to lose my VATSIM access, if that makes sense.

With VATSIM and vPilot, so many aircrafts are floating over the ground and have no landing gears. All the smaller GA aircrafts like Cessna 152, 172 etc. are always shown as a simple ugly generic low wing aircraft with no gears. And some aircrafts are totally invisible, although i can see it in Little Navmap etc. What is wrong...? Thanks!

As much as I like Airbus A320's... there's far too many and there's a disturbing lack of B737s. Please fix.

G'Day Plato, love your work!
I'm having an issue with the vmr/vpilot if you can help. For some reason some model matching rules aren't appearing to work on VATSIM. e.g. After trying this in Australia, Jetstar and Virgin rules aren't registering, however Qantas is. When I type .aircraft in vPilot QFA aircraft are matching the rule set, but JST and VOZ aren't, and are being auto generated. I have all 3 vmr files selected in the correct order and have both the ivao models and booster pack installed. Do you have any advice?

Hi, I was wondering if you had managed to make Virgin Australia work. Qantas and jetstar are but Virgin still does not want to appear correctly.
