I’ve been experiencing this also today (Saturday 7). It did not happen on Thursday or Friday. And the most curious thing is that there IS a lot of traffic. I’ve just seen no less than 5 planes coming and going in KSAN some minutes ago, and the airport was full of traffic. But the message was still there.

Got this several times over the last days. Would be nice to have an option to ignore that so it doesn’t pop up again every few minutes. I noticed the problems anyway when all other planes suddenly disappeared :upside_down_face:

Same (Barcelona, Spain - 408Mb/s down 110Mb/s up from Google speed test)

Funny taxiing in Madrid Barajas following an airbus that banishes from existence…

Same here during day- and night time no matter if Telekom or Cloudflare DNS server are in use.

Just happened to me about 15 minutes ago. Can’t link it to anything specific, not time of day or night.

I got it too during a short free flight but I could still see AI traffic around me.

Yeah indeed. It’s fine it gives a warning once but it doesn’t need to repeat it every few seconds. An option to disable it rest of your session would be nice. In VR it gets annoying. Also it doesn’t need to make a sound, I’m not blind.
