I think this started about 2 weeks ago. But for whatever reason no matter what I do, I don’t see any multiplayer traffic. I’ve cycled the multiplayer option multiple times. Removed all addons. Made sure name tags are on and still. I know i am online though as i can see the live flights that are fed into the system, not only that but I’m also still getting bing data. It just makes no sense.
EDIT:
I just realized these buttons are greyed out, not sure if it’s related…
@Hester40MT Thanks mod, I posted this in general specifically because I’m not sure it’s a bug and I was also trying to cast the widest bet possible and see if someone else experienced or knew what might be the cause. For example someone might know of something external to the sim which would cause it. Be it related to outside software or Windows configurations.
Nevermind I figured it out!!! Somehow I had “Off (Group Only)” selected at flight creation… I’m happy to figure it out but at the same time I’m kinda infuriated that there’s an option in the settings (where it should be) and then another option that overrides it elsewhere. If I have Multiplayer On in the settings it should be On, period. I hope they change this because I’m 100% sure this has happend to other people.
I hope they don’t change it, because I like it just the way it is. Or, if they can keep the same functionality but make it less confusing for people that get confused by it, I’m fine with that too.
Yes, they def need to make it less confusing. Or at least let you change it once in flight.
The whole of the MSFS UI could do with a design re-evaluation.
Its almost as if it was designed & written by a “Summer Intern”, with little or no experience with designing a UI, and just following a few examples supplied with Coherent … 
Somewhere a fulltime Senior UI designer at Asobo is sweating lol.
