What NPC acronym stands for ?

Ok, maybe NPC (Non playable character) is not the best acronym but the AI aircraft disappear.

Are you only using built-in AI traffic, or do you have any traffic add-ons installed, like FSTraffic or FSLTL?

Have you seen this happen at multiple airports, or a specific one? If only at a specific one, is it an add-on airport or a default one? For example, it might be possible that in a high-detail add-on airport, if you have all your graphic and traffic options set to maximum, there might be too many objects for FS2020 to track, causing it to dynamically drop some of them, including departing aircraft.

Try loading up a flight at a busy but smaller default airport (think something like London Stansted instead of London Heathrow) and see if you notice the same thing.

If you find airplanes are disappearing from a runway or taxiway after landing, this usually means there is a lack of available or properly configured “parking” spots at the airport, or something is misconfigured in the taxiway layout.
