    Check for model matching rule set updates - OFF
    Don't let vPilots to be updated past 1.1.5851.23849 Version
    Anything newer will not work for SimLink.

    Go "Settings/Model Matching" - "Add Custom File(s).." <..........vmr>,
    for "Default model" on the bottom left, press the button "Use FSX A321" or "Use P3D CRJ-700" depending on which sim your using. "Apply" “OK”

    “Callsign” - please use something corresponding to your Discord name.
    “Type Code" - pick the closest looking Aircraft to what you are really flying from that list CLICK

    Press “Connect”

    You are connected and have set up SimLink for minimum requirements.

    ____________________________

    Because you are flying in "Free Flight" mode, if you have any AI traffic on, it can be confusing with multiplayer traffic.

    If you want to switch off AI traffic,in FSX, go to main menu on top (Press Alt) Options/Settings/Display/ traffic tab , on the left "Aviation traffic" slide the sliders to 0%, press OK.

    ____________________________

    This is only essential information to get you started in the simplest way.
    Full detail explanation and any other information about the system, please refer to the excellent Post by ROO here


    Happy Landings

    If you have vPilot already installed and using it for VATSIM, or other system, and you have updated to a newest version, it will not work correctly for SimLink.
    With the vPilot authors permission we are providing functional release.

    Download and Install vPilot. (version 1.1.5851.23849)

    You can simply run the installer on top of existing installation from the link above.
    It will function correctly in SimLink as well as VATSIM (make sure to make a note of your VATSIM settings)
    Even if you have already complex model matching rules installed I highly suggest to use SimLink specific installation for correct aircraft representation.

    Download model matching files.

    If you discontinue using SimLink, and you require newest version of Vpiolt, reactivate automatic update in settings.
    In each of those operations existing settings are not changed.
