Weren’t we supposed to be on the East Asia server for the multi-player to work in this beta? I’m not really sure…

The server we were to use in MP testing was USA East. I believe that is the only sever availabe in Beta 14.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

Other aircraft are seen most of the time, but there are some aircraft that seem to be ABANDONED, and are there, but do not show up in the Cockpit/Exterior/Drone view

Some screen shots over about 30 minutes, at various airports, showing Missing planes, as well as one showing a Correct Visible plane, to show that the Testing method is valid.

Yes indeed, I was wrong about that.
The weird thing is that there have been flights especially to test this, and I’ve seen screen shots from these events with many aircraft. Links are in this topic.

Weird how it can be different from your experience… I hope that the issue is found.
It seems that @N6722C had the same issue in beta flight #4 yesterday

Where is a FSX “Hal Bryant” when you need one !!

I see this as well. The “TCAS” system doesn’t always clean up when an aircraft leaves the session. If you stay at a busy airport like EGLL for a day or so, you will see your TCAS/VFR Map fill up with non-existant aircraft.

There was a similar looking issue, when MSFS first launched, where AI aircraft were not being “removed” when they went out of range, resulting in collecting so many AI aircraft, that the sim, ground to a halt.

This was fixed

But it might not have been fixed for MP aircraft ?
