My brother and I have both started on-line flying, but we have noticed that we dont see what the other person is flying, we only see the same type of aircraft, for example the last time we flew, he was in a Harrier and my self in a Globemaster, but he saw two harriers and i saw two Globes. Can anybody help with what we are doing wrong

Did you check the Multiplayer settings?

Usually if you see that, it's because whatever the you see is usually the default aircraft, same with you. So in other words...You just plain can't see what the other is flying.
P.S. Where did you get globemaster, under what category.

I have no problem seen the other plane (whichever it is). I do think is in the multiplayer settings.

both people have to have the same AC. Seeing you saw the Harrier he was flying I can assume you have the Harrier installed?

Does he have the C-17 instealled?

Also, there are setting in the MP about sending over plane info. It should be the above though.

I hosted a flight of C-130's and someone from TradeIP didn't have what I was flying. He showed up as my C-130 though Sad

OK guys, my on line group has experienced the same problems but here is the fix.

Every player in the session has to have the aircraft installed on their machine to see the proper aircraft, even if they are not flying it.

That means, if I fly a WC-130J Hurricane Hunter then everyone I fly with has to have it installed in order to see me, even if they are flying different versions of the C-130. Otherwise they wont have the proper .gif files for the machine to display.

So if you are flying variants of the same aircraft, or even different aircraft, you must install the same versions on all machines.

Good luck. Hope this helps.
