Sure... https://joinfs.net/

For the other world its using simconnect directly, for xp it brings a plugin. Documentation on the page itself and constantly updated atm.

Cheers T.

Looks like its Windows only 😪

Dont suppose you know the guys who develop it do you?

Ah sorry yes, forgot to mention. The author is quite active on his own forums (access to forum via the joinfs.net), so you could ask there if there is a chance for other os.

There has been some internal discussion on multiplayer and while I don´t think that it will be a focus of the initial release of XP12, there is some commitment to improving it.

I think seeing a contemporary solution like in other multiplayer titles with a lobby, friends list and some other options would be great!

X-Plane Mobile has massive multiplayer and I think it is just a question of time until we see something similiar in X-Plane desktop.

It was just a thought as I looked through, AutoATC can ingest the data from https://joinfsmap.dotdash.space/ it could also spit data into that live map (currently tracking 344 flights in AutoATC, that will be several thousand by this afternoon), I have to limit what users can pull to a few hundred nm else the bandwidth gets to high (especially around London and big US cities when there can be several hundred plus aircraft all in the same vacinity), it looked like maybe they had solved that (and a live map is on my todo list)

I'm still not clear what the actual choice is you are asking for, other than another option to do the same as you can now?

 

I suppose I'm asking what native in-sim X-Plane does, either now, or in the future, to visualize multi-player, be that three old farts dicking around from KPIH > KSLC in Caravans, or thirty pilots upping from the same field, heading in (generally) the same direction, from one field to another.

Without 3pd add-ons or adjuncts.

Clear enough or not so much?

@OlliePen

Are you typically referring to this kind of feature like the one I've posted in the FS2020 forum a while back?

Multiplayer: display other players actual aircraft 3D models and liveries around you - Self-Service / Wishlist - Microsoft Flight Simulator Forums

No.

I'm asking what native XP multiplayer typically looks like.

Could I please see a video of X-Plane multiplayer?

yes. up to 30 in default multiplayer. video on the first page. 

Plugins like autoatc and vatsim give you say 300 planes flying inside london airspace, 30 just isn't that many, very easy to lose sight of one another.

 

FWIW I don't expect much to change with next version. XP was never for the impatient and younger / gamer crowds. There's another sim for that.
