You’re right, it’s crazy, yesterday I made sure to set this option to ULTRA and I immediately saw the nameplates appear around my plane. Today, without having changed anything, I don’t see any multiplayer nameplate.
I’m having the same issues the past couple days. First week multiplayer worked flawlessly, the past two days seeing other players in sim is spotty and unfunctional at times as well as seeing the AI traffic.

Yesterday I couldn’t see any multiplayers. Today I can, with the same settings. I think Asobo is changing a lot of these settings day by day or even faster.
What’s strange is I’m getting different levels of detail on the namplates from one aircraft to the next. And it changes minute to minute. Sometimes I’m seeing what looks like a username, aircraft type, distance and altitude. Most of the time I see only a user name if its multiplayer and airline+flight number if its AI.
It seem the maximum range you can see other players is only 5 miles. And you can’t see them on the map in EFB - I have the option Traffic turned ON but no traffic ever shows up in the EFB map. The VFR map function of FS2020 that shows multiplayers is missing in FS2024. This was very useful to follow a group flight. So these two features are very poor in comparison to FS2020.
My settings now:
Global Rendering Quality: Medium. I don’t have to change any defaults.
Live Weather and Time: Doesn’t seem to matter.
Aircraft Traffic Type: Off will still show Multiplayers but will eliminate AI aircraft.
Multiplayer: On
Server: You will only see other players who are also on the same server you have selected.

Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
Yes
Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
We set “Live Weather” and Live Players but only he can see me.
We tried with “All Players” but every time I tried to set “All Players” it was set back to “Live Players”.
If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

@MajorAlan70 this was my problem. we get no warning that traffic was disabled when choosing multiplayer… and support didnt help at all, i volunteered to provide logs for testing(which im sure wouldve shown this) but i was told there was nothing i could do. i was only able to fix this with help from someone in a twitch stream… they absolutely need to add a warning message when multiplayer is selected and this setting is turned off by default.

• My friend sees me but i cant see him, and they say when they see my plane the propeller is not spinning even when my plane is started.
Same issue here. Cant see other Players on “Live Players” Option. The Option for All Players doesn’t work with live weather.
