How good is Multi Player - REALLY GOOD

Featured Replies

Here is a link to a flight I did today with Shug
New Zealand - Taipape NZVR to Fielding NZFI via Rangitikei River
43Nm
 
Dropbox link
 
This was a first time MP for both of us and it is pretty word not allowed easy to set up and get going. A whole new world and experience awaits
Two points
- there is no keyboard mapping that I can see for PTT (push to talk) which I was hoping for so we could have plane to plane comms via COM radios
- Multi player planes do not seem to show on either the VFR map or on LNM, wonder if this is just an option that needs selecting.

flying with my friend down the NJ Shore. Great experience and nice that you can't crash. had a few visibility issues at distance, his tag would vanish but he could still see mine and vice-versa a few times. Up close though no problems

Screenshots from our second flight from Queenstown (NZQN) to Milford Sound (NZMF)

One great feature we didn’t notice until our second flight is that when you are up close you can see the control surfaces of the other person’s plane deflecting and when their lights come on etc.

Also the person hosting the group flight (as we were in our own group) has control over the Weather which if changed (after a small lag) changes the other pilots weather as well.

Just amazing detail. Love it.

I wonder what is shown if the other player has an aircraft that you don't have (e.g. payware). To be verified.

Good question, that might be a bit harder. I would guess that at best a generic “look alike” may be substitued.

I'm utterly amazed by how smooth other planes are, honestly hard to believe they're other until they do something silly like trying to take off a jet at Saba or the like, whoever did the netcode needs a raise.

god i was so happy when i could actually see the other ac where they actually are and not sinking into the ground . I was at  opa locka KOPF today headed for the bahamas and there was 6 other people fortunately we all respected each others on take off . THE VISIBILITY OF OTHER TRAFFIC IN THE AIR NEAR  IS EXELENTTTTT .

It renders a default if you do not have that payware.

I did have a few issues doing multiplayer in a group while on the “all players” setting. When I’d load up in this mode with a friend in a group, we would be invisible to each other. 

It's a lot of fun, would be unreal if we could talk to each other

Just use discord or some other voice chat program. My friends and I have spent hours flying around the world with each other chatting and laughing the whole way on discord (which we use for all of our gaming).

NZ looks beautiful...

I really have to go there sometime. But wait - I have MSFS and can go there and enjoy the "Kodak moment places" right now 🙂

You have to make sure you are all on the same server
