Brian, 32 or 64bit Vista? As maybe read above, updating your Vista with the Windows SP helps. Maybe it also works for Win7 and you just have to update the win from start to end...

I bought a new PC with Vista and imm installed FS9, it didn't work. When I finaly with the time the next few days updated the Vista and got all the updates necessary, then it worked by it self. And at that time I used a Norton Trial, that one I uninstalled and did go to Avast, it works fine now

But some times when I fly and restart SB in same FS-session (meaining I quit SB and restart, e.g. due to sound issue with HDMI/Speaker settings/selection), I also experience that some times I don't se 1 of the planes after restarting SB. But then I just save flight, set up my sound devices and restart FS and SB and it works again.

My problem is slightly different, I can see about 2/3rds of aircraft near me. Sometimes there will be one right next to me ( a friend ) and I can't see anything...I've turned off my firewalls and installed the fix.

FSX SP2 on Windows Vista 32 bit

that can happen on occasion if theres a server split. does it happen every time or just on odd occasions?

It has never happened before, except for my last few flights.

John are you using FSX? If so chance are you have aircraft shadows on which when combined with dx10 can make some AI aircraft invisible. The solution is to turn off the shadows.

Yep they've been turned off, so that must not be it. I think it's what Ernesto said about the servers. Are there any fixes for this?

Server splits is nothing that can be fixed as an end user. That said, such splits are very few and far between these days.

Yes.

could possibly be a port time out problem, altho i'd think you would lose all traffic if it was, not just some.

try port forwarding port 6809, thats the one that handles the traffic, if i remember right anyway.

3290 is the voice port

I'm using Windows XP... I'm thinking of upgrading to Windows 7 32-bit, but it seems this problem still exists. Does anyone have any hotfix info for XP or Win 7? (Vista is NOT an option). I can't see any "other" aircraft. I also don't have any firewalls or antivirus software on this particular machine. Any ideas?
