Why do I see airline FOO for airline BAR aircraft?
Matching means to find the most suitable model for another pilot in your model set. If the other pilot flies a [DLH B744]{.title-ref} and you have [DLH B744]{.title-ref} in your model set, then the process is straight forward, we just take that one.
If NOT, then guessing starts and the opinion of what should happen varies.
- some want to see a neutral (all white) aircraft
- some want to see a [B744]{.title-ref}, but accept that from another airline
- some prefer to see a [DLH]{.title-ref} livery but accept another aircraft type
So there is not "best" solution, it depends on multiple factors. The result in swift depends on
# the models you have in your swift model set, mm{.interpreted-text
role=“ref”} # your model matching settings, see
matchingsettings{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} # your own matching
script (if you have written any), see ms{.interpreted-text role=“ref”}
This means the result for swift users can be (very) different
depending on the mentioned points. If you want to understand your
matching result, just create a matching log -
[matchmsg{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} .
To improve your matching check matchinghints{.interpreted-text
role=“ref”} . But there are things you can check by yourself.
- Do you use models without swift DB entry? Those might be unreliable because not enough information are available.
- Check your settings, see
matchingsettings{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} - Check the matching log, in many cases this is already self-explanatory
- If you want to see airline [FOO]{.title-ref}, do you have models for
[FOO]{.title-ref}? Check your coverage:
tuningset{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} - You could use your own logic, see
ms{.interpreted-text role=“ref”}
