April 22, 20233 yr I am getting tired of seeing some of my multiplayer buddies who fly in a P38, show up as an airliner when we fly together. Short of me purchasing the P38, is there any way to alias this plane to some default aircraft, like a Baron? Edited April 22, 20233 yr by Bert Pieke Bert
April 22, 20233 yr Author Update... Today I tried a brute force method.. which worked.. But there has to be a more elegant way.. 😉 I copied the default King Air and gave it the name(s) and aircraft.cfg file of the P38. With this "P38" active in my sim, my fellow P38 buddies no longer show up as airliners, but as either a King Air (if I am myself flying the "P38") or as a Baron if I fly another airplane. Note: if one of the P38s is in a custom livery which I do not have, it again shows up as an airliner. This can be fixed by adding the custom livery name to the aircraft.cfg file. I anyone can come up with a less cumbersome solution, I am all ears.. 🙂 Bert

Yeah in xplane they have these csl models where the dev can just export a low poly version of their own plane for use in multiplayer. It's pretty cool actually. | My Liveries | FAA ZMP | PPL ASEL | | Windows 11 | MSI Z690 Tomahawk | 12700K 4.7GHz | MSI RTX 4080 | 64GB 6000 MHz DDR5 | 500GB Samsung 860 Evo SSD | 2x 2TB Samsung 970 Evo M.2 | EVGA 850W Gold | Corsair 5000X | HP G2 (VR) / LG 27" 1440p |
