Other network traffic can't see me

I have a problem with other online traffic who can't see me. ATC can see me so there is some other problem then me not being connected. I'm wondering if someone has a suggestion to this very annoying problem?

Did you accidentally connect as an observer?

That was my first thought as well, but he said ATC can see him.

Martin, does ATC see you as a target on their radar, or only in their list of nearby ATC or observers?

When I disconnect an connect again people could see me. And no I wasn’t connected as an observer.

To clarify the problem. ATC sees me as an target on their radar. Sometimes other traffic see me and sometimes they don't. A very frustrating problem because I like Swift more then Vpilot.

What aircraft type? I'm not sure if this is relevant, but I have sometimes encountered aircraft when flying with Swift that I can't see even on the ground. When I get very close, I can see the nav and taxi lights but nothing else. Just wondered if this is the same issue?

It happened with the FSLabs A320 but also with the PMDG 737
