Ground connections in the air?

Featured Replies

When I have ground connections in place, sometimes I go to view another online 737 and this is what I see.

Any ideas what's going on?

 

Thanks!

just assuming that your current config is being applied to every other 737.

 

i feel like when online, it uses your own liveries to depict other a/c. so if your current 737 config has ground connections in place, then its being applied to every one currently "flying" that livery.

 

i may be completely wrong. quite possibly am. just my $0.02.

I would very highly recommend not using the NGX for online traffic, as its 3d model is not really designed for multiplayer performance. The NGX leaves a huge footprint in virtual address space

This is the most likely reason and i know with this because when i was flying another aircraft online and when i opened the door theirs did too and he/she had the same exact aircraft.

How would I ommit the PMDG 737NGX from the online traffic list?

 

Thanks!

I do not think that is possible unless you uninstall the PMDG 737. When online it uses your current aircraft's in your sim objects folder that is why if someone has a plane you don't it will show up as one of yours. Maybe some else knows a solution.

Depends on which network/software you are using. If IvAp does this, then it is an error. In FSInn, you have a checkbox to exclude high resolution models from using them to depict other players. I dont know how SB works.

If you use FSInn create a file called FSInn.cfg with the following contents :


[FSINN]
IGNORE=1

 

Save the file to the root folder of the aircraft you want to exclude, for example, if you want to exclude the NGX 738 winglet variations you put the file in FSX\SimObjects\Airplanes\PMDG 737-800NGX WL\

 

 

If you use squawkbox then you have to make sure that you dont include the PMDG folders when you create an SMS with the SMS Creator tool

Learnt that one the hard way!

Flew around with 15FPS until I realized that everyone was using their NGX-s!
