That's because other fliers are using non default aircraft.
My aircraft was the Microsoft default Beech Baron 58, which some of the other fliers observed.......!

I get fed-up with constantly beating the drum regarding the use of default and non-default aircraft in Multiplayer flights.
It may be boring to use default aircraft, but they are the only aircraft which appear correctly to all the other fliers....
...it's the way Uncle Bill designed the program... ...!

Even using a default aircraft with a non-default texture will occasionally cause the aircraft to appear as the wrong type unless all other fliers have the same texture installed in the aircraft file...!

..and, as you correctly point out, the Server is public one and open to all, but in each of the various organised events there are certain rules which are laid down by the organisers of the events, and any personal deviation causes confusion.... ...!

WS Pilots Multiplayer fliers frown upon it....

OKIE DOKIE Chaps.

Keep it to a minimum please.

I RECCOMEND to fly GA because it allows other members to see you properly, NOT a hovering Cessna.
I made these reccomendations WITH Care, and so far up to now the users of my tour have made a VERY good effort to comply. I CANNOT make this a rule because i would obviously put people off, BUT please can you make an effort. The FLIGHT SIMULATION TOURS are meant for serious flyers who want to have a bit of fun, but enjoy a slow ride. I'm asking you all Politely not to abuse our flight Simulation Tours. I CANT stop you, but seen as our flight sim tours have been going on for almost a year know, please respect the fact that:

1. PLEASE if possible use DEFAULT Aircraft, IF you wish to use ANOTHER, Please boot in a DEFAULT aircraft and CHANGE to the one you prefere in Flight.

2. Please respect the regular flyers on my tours, they commit themselves each week to join in with my tours. If you are a large group and need to speak to each other, and are not in any of my tours, please use a different method of communication.

PLEASE dont let me sound as if i'm ruining the fun, but these little reminders WILL keep everyone happy.

I'm pretty sure the server admin will support my idea.

Dont get annoyed or upset about it, it was a common mistake in my books. Now that we have determined what needs doing, we can carry on making a fantasic Tour, dont you agree?

Cheers All, and remember, Enjoy the tours.....

Hi Luke, sorry to confuse you.

I reccomend this so that you BOOT in an appropriate default aircraft SO that other players can see you as the default aircraft on their screen. Give it a few mins, THEN change to your prefered aircraft for the tour. This enables the flight sim uses to see you as an accurate aircraft. For example, if i was to fly a payware Helicopter, i would show up as a default Hovering Cessna.

Hope that explains it, if you require more information please reply.

EDIT: You can use your freebie "Glass Cockpit" as it is mainly an default plane.
If you get unsure of anything, my best bet would be to use the good old common sense. I often forget at times.

Cheers

I started in a default Baron last night, apologies for switching to a Pitts later - I considered using the Extra, but prefer biplanes.  In hindsight I should have switched to the Extra first, then the Pitts, so everyone else would have seen the Extra and any spontaneous loops/rolls would have been in keeping with the character of the plane.

In fact I hadn't planned to join in at all, I just checked MP for the first time in many months and it happened to be 5 mins before the tour started!

It's not easy!  The SM-65 is touchy on all three axes (especially pitch) and needs to be handled with great care in a high-G corner.  I still haven't managed to do a smooth turn around the pylon without gaining 300ft (and losing 100kts).
