Multiplayer assistance needed please

[stinger2k2]

Hi all,

 

I am trying multiplayer for the first time with a friend. He set up a group and invited me in.

We then started on the ground at a prearranged airport.

The problem is that although  I could see his nameplate and aircraft he was only able to see the nameplate

and also the lights on my aircraft. He couldn't see my aircraft, just the lights and nameplate.

 

I use a stock C172 and he was using a stock Baron.

 

Any ideas why he could not see my aircraft?

 

cheers

I fly a mulitplayer flight with my friend every week. At first we used a group and invited each other, as you did. Sometimes it worked perfectly and sometimes it did not work at all. What we do now is as follows:

• Check that multiplayer is ON
• Check that we use the same server, change the server if necessary
• Start the flight.

It seems to work.

If you're using a 3rd party livery your friend may also need to have that livery installed.

We both were using the stock liveries, but I'll check with my buddy before we try again. Thanks Tim.
