Multiplayer but Wrong Aircraft

I am stumped at why this happens and could use some feedback.

When in multiplayer and I see other flyers their nametag is good, but if I am not flying the same exact aircraft it shows as something else. See example in these two screenshots of the other flyer in a Bell 407.

  1. If I am in a Bell 407 it displays correctly:

    With Bell 4071486Ă—958 86.5 KB

  2. If I am in any other aircraft than the flyer in question it is displayed incorrectly:

    With any other aircraft
    With any other aircraft1351Ă—941 82.1 KB

Good screenshot proof,

Unfortunately this Incorrect MP matching has been with us since MSFS release, and has only got worse, as more aircraft have been made available for the sim.

Lack of any Information in the SDK Documentation, describing how Model matching is “meant” to work, has not helped Developers ensure that their aircraft obey “rules” that may enable correct model-matching for their aircraft,

This has been brought up by developers and forum members in the SDK forum, and Asobo indicated that they would at least address the SDK Documentation.

I suspect when they try to document it, they may become aware of flaws in the current system, which hopefully will encourage them to “Fix it”

FYI

I can’t offer any further information right now. Like I said previously, I have a task for it, but have not had the opportunity to investigate further as yet. Rest assured I will do my best to get the information for the next SDK update!

So “fingers crossed” for SU12 SDK release

Thank you so much for your clarification. I had not noticed it to be as bad as it is right now. Hopefully some day soon MSFS may have a fix.
