Wow you are into Passive aggressiveness.
IMHO you have said nothing new because nothing has changed since update about model matching. It was never working brilliantly. The way they have it set up has always been about using the generics, but it constantly fails to even match based on number of engines since the beginning.
I put that forward as a better solution than fixing the underlying model matching logic, but each to their own
Well considering every update seems to put things two steps back, it is being realistic. Right now there are numerous groups that have “solved” the issues that Asobo failed to fix or even things they broke. These people are enjoying what they “hacked”, as oppose to hanging around whining about something.
p.s. HACKING is a strong word, the CFG files were put there to be used and changed by modders. Stuff they don’t want us to touch we can’t touch.
Point you missed is that you said “update” messed it up. I saw the problem before the update. I also don’t see them fixing it anytime soon, it isn’t their priority. 9 months out and one livery pretty much sums it up. They also aren’t going to be adding models either to match real world aircraft. The so called “hackers” should be worshiped.
