Can't see all planes in multiplayer

[mowhiskey]

Anyone had this problem? I've signed into a session and can hear everyone ,but don't see all of the aircraft in session. I restart but still don't see there aircraft.
Last night we had another flyer start the session and still could  not see all the aircraft, and they only live a few miles up the road.....
Any suggestions????
Doesn't happen all the time???????

Do you all have the same aircraft installed on each PC. Just I remember this being a problem on earlier FSs...

[mowhiskey]

Yes same planes and OS. This just happens every so often.... I see and hear others but like last night didn't see the guy that started session(could hear )

when this happens, if they are within 10 nautical miles of you, PAUSE the sim (P key) and wait 5 seconds, then unpause it.  its a code glitch, nothing can be done except pause/unpause.

if the person is more than 10 nm away, you will NOT see them.

I have that same problem all the time when flying in multiplayer on Gamespy, FSHOST, AND FSCopilot/FSInn.   It is a mostly common bug, and by pausing/unpausing it "resets" your craft and refreshes the packets sent from your friends to show their craft.
