Flying online - viewable aircraft distance

Featured Replies

In FS2k2, I could see other aircraft while flying online a significant distance away. In FS9, I can't see other aircraft unless they are within a 13 mile radius.In the FS9.cfg file, within the section for Muliplayer, there are two possible lines that could be the one I need to tweek in order to extend the 13 mile radius. The two lines are:max_segment_size=100ordistance-display=0Maybe neither of these lines are what I need. Anyway, I've never messed with the cfg file except to increase the panning view speed.Does anyone have any knowedge regarding this matter.Thanks in advance for any assistance.

At the moment the current version of Squawkbox only allows aircraft to be seen at 10 miles in FS2004- even if you set it to 20 or 40.If you're getting 13 miles you're doing well.The new version of SB - hopefully out soon , will fix this.Dave

Thank you!!!!
