• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

MSFS20 Multiplayer aircraft substitution issue

Hopefully I posted this in the correct group.

I belong to a flight sim group where every Sunday we participate in a group flight. I created several unique liveries for the individuals in the group, primarily C-172's and XCub's. I mimicked the aircraft.cfg file as closely as possible with the originals and the only changes are unique to those aircraft. Each member has a full complement of each other's aircraft, and they are all current.

Up until two(?) updates ago everything was working great! Each member would fly their "own" aircraft and be seen as clearly theirs from everyone else's perspective.

Now the substitutions are all whacked! A unique 172 can show up as ANY 172. A unique XCub can show up as ANY XCub. Furthermore, an aircraft on floats will show up to other players as one on wheels but elevated as if it was on floats!

Is there a setting or command in the aircraft.cfg file, or any other config file I'm overlooking? What has changed since two updates ago?

We're trying another experiment with it today. If it still fails, I'll post an image of what we see today.

Any suggestions, comments or help would be appreciated.

UPDATE. We flew as a group today, 4 float plane aircraft. All of the aircraft on my end and one other player were correct for each pilot and they were all on floats. Two other pilots did not see everyone else’s planes correctly, (livery) and my aircraft was on wheels but hovering over the ground as if it was on floats.
