Anyone had this problem? I've signed into a session and can hear everyone ,but don't see all of the aircraft in session. I restart but still don't see there aircraft.
Last night we had another flyer start the session and still could not see all the aircraft, and they only live a few miles up the road.....
Any suggestions????
Doesn't happen all the time???????

Do you all have the same aircraft installed on each PC. Just I remember this being a problem on earlier FSs...

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

when this happens, if they are within 10 nautical miles of you, PAUSE the sim (P key) and wait 5 seconds, then unpause it. its a code glitch, nothing can be done except pause/unpause.

if the person is more than 10 nm away, you will NOT see them.

I have that same problem all the time when flying in multiplayer on Gamespy, FSHOST, AND FSCopilot/FSInn. It is a mostly common bug, and by pausing/unpausing it "resets" your craft and refreshes the packets sent from your friends to show their craft.
