Models, model set and settings - how does it fit together?
If you want to use a model for model matching (mm
{.interpreted-text
role=“ref”} ) you need to add it to the model set. Only models in the
model set will be used for model matching. If you install/uninstall
models on your disk you might need to update your model set
(whentoupdatems
{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} ).
- How does swift know where my models are installed? =======================================================
If you do NOT know where to place (install) your models, see
xpmodeldirectories
{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} . You can change the
simulator directories as described here:
modeldirectories
{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} . Please understand
that changing these settings values does not automatically change your
model set!
::: {.important} ::: {.title} Important :::
XPlane CSL models have to be inside the XPlane folder structure :::
- What are the model directories are used for? The model list! ===============================================================
Depending on the model directories you can create a list of all your models installed, this can be done
in the wizard here
- the model list here you can display via display
- the models here are NOT the model set, the model set is a subset of those models you want to use for matching
- the list here is the SAME list as in the mapping tool
or the mapping tool, see
createms
{.interpreted-text role=“ref”}
- The model set ================
The model set is a list of those models you want to use for matching:
matching
{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} .
you can create your model set in the wizard by selecting the distributors list
- this picks those models from your model list (see above) and adds it to the model set
- in this step we do not care about the simulator settings, only the list generated is considered
the model set can also be generated in the mapping tool
- you can do much more things in the mapping tool, e.g.
arbitrarily mixing models from distributors, see
examplemsbbxcsl
{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} - Here is shown how to update or re-create your model set, see
addtoms
{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} andcreatems
{.interpreted-text role=“ref”}
- you can do much more things in the mapping tool, e.g.
arbitrarily mixing models from distributors, see
Hint:: If you use models of multiple providers in your set, we recommend to remove duplicates, see
modelsetduplicates
{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} andexamplemsbbxcsl
{.interpreted-text role=“ref”} .
- Why do we need all this?
