Improve Visibility For Multiplayer Aircraft So They Don't Disappear

Hey ! How is your fix testing going ? :slight_smile:
I’m sorry if I missed some message where you were talking about it, but I didn’t find anything…

Thanks :wink:

Hello,

Now that the multiplayer mode is fixed, formation flights are a real good experience, thank you very much.

In order to make the multiplayer experience even better, could you please allow us to manage an aircraft disappearance threshold when they are very close ourselves, through general graphics settings for example, to allow that they do not disappear at all and they do not obstruct the view of the pilot in cockpit view mode, or do they disappear as is the case now for people who want to keep this behavior?

Thank you for all the efforts made to make the experience thrilling

…well, basing on my person experience, I still cannot say that multiplayer is fixed.

Too often both being in a group or just in a server, I see people I’m flying with “leaving the group” or myself having “you’ve left the group” msg with no apparent reason.

I’ve noticed this keeps happening also when all components of the group are with very good internet connection, very low server delays (30-35ms) as well very good data band available.

We also tried to use same fixed server (e.g. Western Europe or Northern Europe that in our case are normally the 2 more performant) intead of leaving the “Automatic” server selection : no good, same probs.

Some time all runs nicely, some other times nothing at all as described above.

About the ghosting/fading effect when we fly close: I’ve noticed that after recent update, SU6 I think, the distance’s been reduced and makes close flying formation much better, even if still not ideal.

I’ve also just noticed a very interesting mod on Flightsim.to (F/A-18 Close Formation Fading Fix » Microsoft Flight Simulator), Asobo F-18 related in the specific case, where it seems that modding the aicraft “LOD” XML variable, makes possible to reduce the fading/ghosting distance to a very minimum, and this looks very interesting indeed.

At this time, I don’t know if this concept/method could be valid and extended to all Asobo aicraft and/or 3rd party mod’s and it would be interesting to understand this.

Enjoy!

I think this should go hand in hand with Banner Draw Distance.
An option to:
a/ Resize the banners. (There is a mod available)
b/ Select a radius.
I’m currently on the ground seeing huge banners relating to aircraft at 37,000ft

Now that there is yachts being made and drivable for MSFS we need this other player fading out to GO AWAY and never come back!

I want my mates to land on the helipads on my Yacht and we are all visible.
