Multiplayer

Tim,

An update on the User aircraft appearance in a Multiplayer session:

Four of the VFR Flyers had a session recently, and we tried the following to see if all of us were visible to each other:

I was the host and set up the session in Multiplayer, then Ken Tom and Monir joined my session - at this stage none of us loaded Plan G.
I (the host) started Plan G and even though none of the others had started it I was able to see K, T and M in my traffic (and 3 red aircraft) but not myself (which is good, as I have the yellow aircraft symbol for myself).  So far, so good.
Each of the others then joined Plan G and the result was that each of them could see themselves and 2 others as traffic, but none of them could see the host, D.

This may well be something that is impossible to fix, but I thought I would update you on our findings.

Dave.

Did you have the 'filter' option turned on or off?

Tim,

Filter is off - what exactly does it filter if ON?

Dave.

If it's on, it removes what it thinks are duplicates, or not aircraft (ie boats etc)

Otherwise, it should display everything that SimConnect can detect within the range specified.
