Mixed X-Plane/Prepar3D sessio: Cannot see Prepar3D users on X-Plane side

[bert.laverman]

I have tested this several times, and it appears definitely related to running X-Plane locally.

Start Prepar3D v4, open a flight, start JoinFS, click connect: works. I see the other flyers, they see me.

Start X-Plane 11, open a flight, start JoinFS, click connect: The other flyers see me, I don't see them.

I have let JoinFS install the plugin, although there only appears to be a "win.xpl" file in a folder named "32", and idem in a folder named "64".

Today tested with just one other flyer. The log shows him listed, but nothing else. In the "Aircraft" view he is shown in orange. Naturally his aircraft is unknown here, as FSX/Prepar3D use a "title", shown here as "Beech Baron 58 Paint3". Trying to substitute BTW does not let me choose a livery. Rescanning just adds 29 models, which is 1 per model, but no liveries. Could that be the cause? The models file for X-Plane confirms there is only one line per model.

Sounds to me that you did not have enough AI aircraft added in the x-plane menu.

[bert.laverman]

Criley,
thank you. This appeared to be the problem. I was looking at other reasons because of the yellow marking in the "Aircraft" window, thinking it might be a network issue.

Any hints on the liveries? I cannot match FSX B58 with KLM flightschool livery with an equivalent version in X-Plane, because there is no choice in liveries.

I have no idea on the livery issue. I tried going down that route with another user and did not have much luck.
