Great video, touching on the game pass/multiplayer on Xbox as long as you have game pass core you are good. There is core, standard and ultimate. Also I really hope they allow us to see everyone more than five nautical miles out like we can in 2020
Another useful video 👍 Like another poster I use my HOTUS 1 POV Hat switch to move between my instrument views. The standard cockpit view is too far back to enable me to see the dashboard properly. It's my main bugbear with the sim on Xbox that it's too unclear without zooming in. I've played around with the height setting but I wish it was possible to do that in the cockpit whilst also seeing what number its set to rather than just guessing in the camera setting area. I was not able to see other aircraft for a while but that changed after a while. I don't recall changeing any settings but suddenly was seeing traffic every flight. It might just have been my flights were in larger areas that didn't have many other aircraft around.
@ so far I’ve tried west, midwest and east coast servers of US and nothing. I also flew around Heathrow on different servers and nothing there either. I’m thinking it’s me or the timing. If I get lucky and catch the group out again I’ll jump on.
you make a good point that Camera settings should be tied to specific aircraft.... with a general setting that gets overridden if you customize the camera in a specific plane... Good stuff as usual Huddison
James on PC there is an option you need to turn on under the Flight Interface options in the General Tab to allow you to see multiplayer name tags. It frequently returns to Off so needs to be checked that it's still On.
Maybe it's better to replace your controller button resetting cockpit view to loading custom view #1. Then you can also save custom view #1 to the perfect height for each aircraft. Or does it not work that way?
Hudds ... Somewhat strange but was on FS2024 last night and landing at Reagan National on Runway 33, same as crash and there was a building at the threshold. Is that by design or just another glitch in FS2024. Weird
"Live Players" only shows other players currently active in the simulator based on real-time live data, while "All Players" displays every other player in the server regardless of their current activity.
Excellent news intro Huddison. Keep up the great hints and tips 😊
Meant to say new intro. So much for predictive text 😂
The intro is amazing eh ;)

Yes, I'm not sure why they tinkered with that range.

Thank you sir, I made the changes and will see if happens, I appreciate it
Let us know how you fare.

Useful tips for cockpit view thanks.
Thanks Ginny.

Great addition, thanks Hugh.
Hudds .. I find the Hat Switch works for me in terms of instrument and cockpit views using my Hotas
Great to hear.
Pick an isolated location (South Pole?) to test multiplayer with friends/discord members perhaps
Good idea.

You'll have to change it each time in Setting/Cockpit.

Our prayers are with those pour people.
@Huddison And so close it's unimaginable. Helicopter at fault methinks
Can you fly behind someone - like a dogfight in the air
Yes, we often do that in our Multiplayer flights.
"Live Players" only shows other players currently active in the simulator based on real-time live data, while "All Players" displays every other player in the server regardless of their current activity.
thanks for clarifying.
