For a $200 AUD released game this is incredibly poor.
Disclaimer: Myself and friends have no addons in community, we are all running ultra everything.
Models not matching or working, we are seeing mates in base helicopters as planes.
When models work, liveries do not! We just see the first one in the list on others aircraft
STATIC rotors, why are my friends rotors static when flying? terrible immersion killer.
POP IN/OUT, neither of us can see the others players aircaft more than 50 meters away, pop in is WAY TOO CLOSE.
The sim keeps swapping our “All Players” setting back to “Live”. Annoying
This just creates a terrible experience for our group who want to fly together but have chosen to play Star Citizen which crashes less, has model matching, has SHARED cockpit and perfect multiplayer! Which is a wild thing to say in 2024.
I agree about all your points. Although, last night when I flew with a few friends, I actually saw the aircraft they were flying (Hangar Studio’s Decathlons) even though I don’t own it yet. So, apparently there are proper models being loaded now (for marketplace aircraft only) since the Patch 3 release? Note that there was only one livery displayed and their props didn’t spin, but it was a pleasant surprise! Anyone else seeing this?
I agree with all your points as well. This is definitely a “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” item. Multiplayer worked perfectly fine in 2020. Not sure why Asobo changed it. Very frustrating.
i wouldn’t call it “perfect” in 2020, but it was better. There were many times when the livery was wrong or a bonanza was showing for aircraft i definitely owned. we called it “getting Asobo’d”
The new ability to see planes we don’t own is a great step forward however!
