Vatsim in Fs2020, can’t see other planes

[Matthew Finkel]

When I connect to vatsim vía vpilot in fs2020, it says I’m online and I show up as online on all vatsim maps, but I cannot hear or see others connected to the network. What am I doing wrong?

[Othniel Alexandre]

I haven't tried it yet, but I was going to ask too what setting should I have for multiplayer when connected to vatsim?

Active, All or Group?

 

Try changing those settings in MSFS to see if it makes a difference.

Group

Could you please elaborate? Is this the "category" at which vPilot will inject VATSIM traffic into the sim?

 

[Matthew Bartels]

Traffic should be injected at any level, but you would only want to see VATSIM traffic. Selecting  group would then remove live AI traffic and MSFS multiplayer server traffic, leaving you with just VATSIM traffic.

 

Unless there has been further changes, this is how it worked in testing.

[Evan Reiter]

Agreed, according to the guide I've been putting together for BVA members (based on our members' experience with the released version of the sim), "Off (Group Only)" is what you want when connecting to the network. This will ensure you leave the injection of other aircraft to vPilot. Of course, you need to make sure you're not actively in a group (or you'll see other aircraft from within your group twice). 

That said,

Pilots wishing to fly formation or group flights may choose to fly with a Group on MSFS. This will allow for faster refresh rates than VATSIM offers, making formation and group flying much more enjoyable. When flying with a multiplayer Group, use the commands ".ignore (callsign)" and ".unignore (callsign)" in vPilot to hide and show specific network aircraft.

Where do I find this “group” setting in FS2020

I now can see VATSIM aircraft but not their call signs. Is there a way to toggle on and off?

Not as of yet.
