More Zombie Airplanes Than Usual?

Seems nearly every time I’ve loaded an airport there is one or two spinning airplanes, often upside down. Some even do breakdance moves.

I feel like it used to be less frequent. They also have their strobes on which seems to make for a magnificent airport beacon while on approach.

It’s odd I have yet to experience this. Does one need to have multiplayer enabled or some other setting to observe it?

I have multi-player off but I do have live traffic.

Here are some shots I took. Hopefully they look okay. There were from a VR format.

I’ve never seen this. Interesting.

MODERATOR EDIT:
Hello Michail 71, it’s flat, I never see another plane on the runway or in the air! I only see them parked at airports. I’m with "Flight simulator 2020 is that what you have, if so, how do you see other planes?

Bonjour Michail 71,c’est plate,moi je vois jamais un autre avion sur la piste ou dans les airs! J’en vois seulement stationnés aux aéroports.Je suis avec "Flight simulator 2020 c’est tu ça que vous avez,si oui,comment vous faites pour voir d’autres avions?

Bonjour! Do you have live traffic turned on? But that is something that could vary by region. There is also a setting for AI density.

I sometimes like to look up traffic I encounter on a site like Flight Aware to see the flight plans.

Another thing I’ve noticed with live traffic is the airplanes endlessly circling the airport. These are real filed flight plans. But the sim seems to do weird things with them.

Merci Michail 71 de me répondre,oui mon trafic en direct est activé et la densité a 100/100 aussi mais je ne vois jamais d’avion malheureusement!Vois tu des avions dans le ciel ou certaines qui atterrissent ou décollent?

You mean like this Russian airline?

LOL. That’s just your friendly neighborhood helicopter owner with a fancy cloaking device.

(I sure wish generic models of all types of planes would start to be added to the sim)

Yeah, I should’ve kept multiplayer off… Hahaha. I’m partly to blame for that anyway, since I use my own mod to replace all generic aircraft to the A320.

That issue, at least for your circumstance, is probably directly related to the mod and not originating from the game side.

It’s fairly common, I’ve seen a few posts here on it, and have had it happen occasionally myself using AIG traffic.

It’s an interesting bug. I’d be super curious to see the source code updates that fixes such an issue. Like how does it spawn upsidedown?

Slightly related, anyone else seeing strobe lights as large squares visible from miles away? This happens in VR. Usually from the airplanes stuck spinning in circles.

Thank you Michail 71 for answering me, yes my live traffic is activated and the density has 100/100 too but I never see any planes unfortunately! Do you see planes in the sky or some landing or taking off?

My French is not so good. :slight_smile:

Yes, I’ve seen airplanes in the sky and kind of land. They usually vanish shortly after landing. From what I understand, I think airplanes used to take off but there was a bug or just bad AI that may have caused problems. There is so much traffic at a nearby international airport it can lock up the ATC menu in the sim.

Do you play in virtual reality? The traffic settings are different in VR and I think may be set low to off by default.

How your doing Michail71,i play standard flight simulator 2020,i juste dont éventuellement Knowles how to play vr! Sorry! I dont know if i should get into That yet! Have a Good Day!
