When flying Multiplayer a year or so ago I could see the "Name Tags" of other fliers, on the same Server.

That rectangular label up in the sky with the flier's 'Name" in white letters

Flew a Multiplayer yesterday & I could see on the VFR map there were other aircraft participating, but I could not see any aircraft/flier "Name Tags"

Have they been removed?

Is there a setting that gives the name Tags?

Yes, there is a nametag on/off setting under Traffic in the Options menu.  Check it's turned on

While we are on the subject of visibility of Multiplayer aircraft, I have noticed for some time, that the undercarriage of mp or Vatsim aircraft disappears within relatively close proximity of your viewpoint which is an immersion killer.  Does anyone know why this happens and if there is anything that can be done to stop it from happening?

I thought I had that ticked, but will try another flight.

So, if I have the correct boxes ticked I should see nametags?

Which server, in your experience, is likely to be carrying the most multiplayer activity at this time of the day [10am EST?]

Update: I'm now seeing Nametags on the West Europe server, so thank you for the tip.

General rule is to select the server closest to your location. You should see the same traffic on any of them
