Identical aircraft in Multiplayer

When on Multiplayer (two of us) why do we see each other's aircraft in the same livery as our own? I was in an Easyjet 737, he in a BA 737, but I saw him as Easyjet, he saw me as BA. Is it something to do with GMax and FDS2? We also lose undercarriage on some aircraft of the other player. Any ideas!!!

When in multiplayer, you can only se other aircraft in textures you've already got on your own PC. I would think neither of you both have each others textures.
I understand there's a patch to allow you to see each others liveries without actually having them, but I believe it causes a massive frame rate hit. You'd be better off exchanging textures with your friend.

Tipster is right. This is a known problem, I was doing MP with Fozzer he was in a biplane and I in an Apache. We looked like each others aircraft to ourselves. Only with the default aircraft did things appear normal.

If you look at the FS2002.cfg in the multiplayer section, theres several entries like these
ALLOW_PLANE_MODEL_SEND=0
ALLOW_PLANE_MODEL_RECEIVE=0
ALLOW_TEXTURE_SEND=0
ALLOW_TEXTURE_RECEIVE=0
Has anyone tried changing these values to one?

I believe those are the entries affected by the "patch" (badly worded) that I referred to.
I can't be certain as I don't do very much on-line flying but I'm sure, if they work, that you have to have a severely fast connection to avoid your frame rates bombing out.

I think the best thing to do is just have the same aircraft for multiplayer

yes, it uses binary code to say yes or no for those options in fs, if i am not mistaken 1 means yes, 0 means no

you're right, it does use a binary code for that. YOu can confirm this by looking at other options in the cfg file
