I had those invisible planes too until I decided to reinstall FSLTL base and the injector directly into the MSFS 2024 community folder. This fixed the issue.
I have no contrails though, only seen one yet.
I think the problem is with the draw distance. I’ve found a way to get them to show further out by going into the dev mode and change the some LOD settings.
I’m talking about FSLTL aircraft.
Debug->Debug model LODs->Deselect Display exterior models->Select Forced Inactive from the dropdown(It’ll redraw all objects and it’ll show them correctly)-> Select Enable forced active lod and deselect right after(this one is for the aircraft)
By doing this, aircraft and airport objects now can be seem way further out…
They need to fix this.

The is just one part of the problem. I tested this in FS2024 by taking a Rafale fighter jet and flying it to high altitude around some AI airliner traffic (FSLTL) at around 35,000ft. There were only contrails from the AI aircraft when I flew close to them. But as my separation distance increased I’d get to a point where the contrails on the AI aircraft would simply disappear.

But the other part of the problem is that even when contrails do appear at close range, they are always really short – ie not like the long ones we get in FS2020 (and in real-life!). Basically in FS2024 they’re just like a puff of smoke from the back of the AI airliner, and then they just ‘peter-out’ to nothing.
I hope this gets sorted!

Same, no contrails at all in 2024.
• Not only are there no contrails, but I can be surrounded by aircraft generated by FSLTS or Say Intentions. Very rarely can you see them and for sure there are no contrails.
I am not sure what distance visibility is set to, but it certainly is not sufficient. In 202 it was perfect.

I have the same issue as others are typing. I simply do not see other traffic around me when I am in cruise. On traffic map I see that there should be some traffic within 10nm around me. Well I check from the cockpit nothing. I check from external view again nothing.
As others wrote the other traffic has to be really close like around 2nm to see something finally. COntrails and possibly model of other plane.
But than after a 30 seconds or so it suddenly dissapears.
In MSFS20 this is not happening. I can see the contrials and other planes from cca 20nm visually when I am checking from cockpit.
As Bondjpf and DreadfulHydra50 mentioned this is for sure draw distance settings in MSFS24. Hope they will fix it. I really hate this flying on VATSIM in MSFS24 andseeing nobody around me at all. And i know they should be there when I check ND/Traffic map but simply game will not render them. Not even the contrails.

No contrails on my end on FS2024, they have to fix that!

I have the same issue when using BATC injecting AIG models.
The Same for me. FSLTL all Graphics Settings on Ultra. Only See Contrails when Planes are very very close. The Sky over heavy Traffic Areas is clear blue

not only are there no contrails, there are no real-time traffic planes either
Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• yes

This is still an issue. No contrails and aircraft lights barely visible in 2024. Even at night.

Today FS2024 flight with BATC+FSTL from LFBZ to LEAM FL310
No contrail
To be fixed !
