Multiplayer: Players disappearing or not visible at all

Multiplayer is a disaster compared to any other video game.

Props don’t work, players pop in and pop out right in front of you. Not the fade out when you’re close, like vanishing right in front of you, 1+ nm away.

Plane matching is laughable, with A320 tail draggers. Planes you own don’t show up right, game tags don’t match the displayed models. The other day a tag said F22, but the model was a 172, not generic, and I have the F22.

You get generic if you don’t have the livery rather than the right plane, but a different livery.

Landing gear don’t show up until they’re a few meters away. Like they’re only in the highest LOD.

Planes are ok at a group flight start, then at the first destination, hover 6’ above everyone else. And not with addon fields at different elevations….default fields.

Servers with 5x higher ping work better, but then you get lag effects. No way to win.

It can take 2+ minutes for planes to appear after joining a server. Maybe. If at all. Sometimes resetting servers then going back helps. Sometimes not. Close players don’t show up, but you can see a tag like 50nm away.

None of it is getting better, and they keep saying they rolled out a server side fix…which does nothing.
