hello all,

so, a group of friends want to start our own virtual airline, and would make our own planes, paintjobs, etc.

Problem is, in vatsim, all we see is that ugly paperplane.

What are we supposed to do to allow others to see our planes, with our colors as well?

Thanks

Hector

that is why im asking here, because we both have the same plane, using the same texture, stored in the same folder....yet all we see is that paper plane.

I thought maybe if I add the model and basic textures to the VIP library?

But then again I wouldnt know what the naming convention is either.

Too cryptic.

i've had the same problem, all i did was re-install my aircraft, as did my friend, and we were fine...

Actually it allready has been explained above...
Just to give a little detail what makes an aircraft show up.
This is the line in the aircraft.cfg that handles
the appearenace of the planes in multiplayer

title=Beechcraft King Air F90-1

If this is not the same .. the plane will not appear.
The good thing.. if 2 people in a MP Session have different planes.. for example .. One is flying the RAS Spitfire while another one only has a freeware Spit... both can set the title value to something like "title=Spitfire temp" for example. Like this the other player will be shown in the Spitfire each user has installed instead of the cessna.
But you´ll need to reset this value after the session or the Spit will not show up correctly the next time you are flying with pilots who really have a RAS Spitfire installed.

But to come back to your problem 5thranger. As far as I remember Vatsim handles this in a different way.
Vatsim uses it´s own low poly aircrafts that are downloaded automatically. So  probabely you´ll need to make a livery for a similar Vatsim plane and submit this livery to them.. to make it downloadable.
But I don´t know if this is possible at all.
You should directly ask at Vatsim.
I´ve never seen any other planes on Vatsim than their downloadable low-poly planes.

cheers
