Xplane rotorcraft

Post by Eagledriver »

I fly in a group of p3d v3 and xplane users. For some reason, p3d cannot 'see' xplane rotorcraft. No matter what model matching we put in, the only aircraft visible are fixed wing. We have to put up with vtol Bonanza to be able to see our friend.

We have tried moving some of our (p3d) helicopters into our fixed wing folder to no avail but would a similar move from the xplane folders help? I assume that p3d just doesn't recognise xplane rotorcraft file names.

Any light that could be shone on this problem would be appreciated :idea:

Hello,

No filenames are transferred, it's purely based on the model title that is shown in the aircraft view. What colour is the distance column for that aircraft after you do the substitution? Are you seeing anything unusual in View|Monitor? When you do a Scan For Models in P3D, do you have the Rotorcraft folder ticked for the scan?

The distance column goes red if we substitute a heli. Incidentally, model matching changes always see xplane aircraft as single engined prop.

Rotorcraft is ticked. P3d to p3d viewing is perfect model matching.

I have not checked view/monitor and will have to look more deeply next time we go online

Thanks

With X-Plane I haven't yet found a way to determine the type, so single prop is always the default.

Are you able to fly the same rotorcraft that you selected in your own P3D. If so, then it should be able to inject that aircraft from JoinFS. It will be interesting to see what messages are showing in the monitor.

Are you saying that the exact same model coming from another P3D shows correctly. If so, that is strange because the exact same model title name should show in the simulator without any problems.

Could you check that the substituted model title for the X-Plane rotorcraft is exactly the same as the model that shows when you see the P3D rotorcraft?

We have been flying an EC135, so have setup model matching (rotorcraft and single piston prop) for that to be default rotorcraft. Our Xplane friend only has an H145, which is so similar as to make the models look the same. I see my P3d friend perfectly as we both have the same liveries in our "hanger".

I did try writing an additional entry into the model matching file to alias his "H145 T2 Rescue Version XP11 V3.1=EC135 DHART" but that didn't work

We are all using v1.5.12

From this point all was "ok" in that I could see the Bonanza

Do you use Discord, it will be easier to converse on there? The JoinFS server is here, https://discord.gg/3tnbAWaG7D

Hi David,

Is this problem still occurring with the latest version?
