I always use the Southeast Asia server, and it occurs both day and night.
If the time of day is relevant (i.e. due to server load), then please take advantage of Azure and provision a server in each region.
It occurred before SU5. Itâs still going on.
Same here, shared animation lost (Gear up/down- flaps etc etc) close formation is impossible due to aircraft disappear in 2 minutes or so. Before SU5 all goes well
Please fix that
This is really annoying when trying to fly formation with a friend.
So same thing for me.
I would like to vote for this topic, but the site says I canât vote (no more vote) but I have never vote for something
Im having rn this problem. And the only solution to this is disconnecting your device from wifi and restarted

Ran into the problem this last weekend where the aircraft closest to you (usually the people in your formation) randomly disappear, both in âall playersâ and âgroup only.â
Please fix this bug soon, otherwise our flying groups are at risk of losing momentum. Itâs sad and frustrating trying to fly with others when you canât see each other.
This topic really needs more votes. Itâs arguably the biggest bug in the sim right now.
It doesnât even seem to be on their radar. Really need to get the votes upped on this, and submit zendesk tickets if you can!
Iâm ALSO having these issues. Just wish theyâd offer a refund like they did for Cyberpunk. The game IS broken and HAS BEEN broken since release with an entirely incompetent team at the wheel. Iâll say it again, the FSX team shouldâve been hired to build MSFS 2020â NOT a new team. CTDs, connectivity issues, mod-breaking updates, settings that change themselves. Virtually unplayable. UNREAL.
I have the same problem here at high altitude on world map can see satellite imagery and other players zoom in further and broken offline mode. So frustrating. Reinstalled 4 times. Nothing in community folder. Stopped again tonight.
Same trouble here. It has destroyed my formation teamâs ability to reliably practice or perform. We noticed the problem started about 10 days before SU5 was released.
Same here, and just to be clear, itâs not that planes fade out when youâre about to âhitâ.
Multiple planes just pop out of the sky when flying in groups, at âsafeâ distance. Impossible to stay in formation or just follow along with friends because of this. Sometimes they disappear for several minutes.
Attempted some more plane chasing, always the same thing. Get too close, plane disappears. Power through, attempting to leave it in your shadow, enough distance, the plane reappears. If you managed to guesstimate course and speed to stay within the general vicinity, it eventually shows up close.
Meanwhile, if you start out with a group, since you all take-off from nearby, the group generally stays cohesive and responsive, for the most part, anyway.
Considering behavior in the sky, for example rubberbanding and the amount of it, combined with the current issues, it seems the game partitions the area around your plane in concentric cylinders or spheres with different update/sync rates, and transitioning between them seems to be broken (see the example above, of a) disappearing in front and reappearing in the rear, and b) showing up after guessing where it flies).
This needs to be fixed, because itâs ridiculous.
I have the same problem as well and itâs really frustrating for me! Mainly because I just recently started joining group flyinâs and its very frustrating to keep loosing track of those I am following!!! End up being far behind often. Very frustrating too as I have trouble because flying in VR makes it very difficult to manipulate the autopilot and other knobs and dials and buttons, switches, is bad enough without loosing sight of everyone elseâŠ
I voted
I have the same problem.
I know that the display limit is â50 aircraft at the same timeâ.
But I think itâs a disappointing change to not be able to see the aircraft in front of close range.
This can be a big problem when flying in formation.
As MSFS is a âmultiplayer flyingâ specification, this is a serious bug.
I hope this can be fixed in the future with display options.
Voted. Happening so often recently makes group flights very frustrating and almost pointless to attempt!
They should probably start putting some connection quality metric next to the player name in the grey banner. Maybe thatâll help discerning whatâs going on (like the game putting people on wrong/bad regional servers when set to Auto).
If Iâm following a larger group centered around a streamer, I can typically approach them from far and have them not disappear.
But if Iâm trying to chase randoms in the sky, all hell breaks lose. Just now I tailed a guy that disappeared intermittently, just to be able to catch up and get close by the time heâs approaching the runway, just to disappear forever 200ft before touching down.
This is annoying as heck.
Nearby: gone again, back again, gone again, back again âŠ
Far away planes can be seen. Up close it looks like a coincidence, sometimes one, sometimes the other aircraft disappears. Itâs annoying
