Low draw distance (MSFS)

Hi there,

I recently set up and started using vPilot using the new Microsoft Flight Simulator. However, I experience a small issue.

The draw distance of other traffic is very low, which means I'm unable to see other aircraft in the pattern. They are only visible as you get close (approximately 0.5 nm).

In vPilot, the drawing distance is set to 40 nm. My graphic settings should not cause any problems. Non-VATSIM traffic doesn't seem to be affected.

Anyone got ideas how to increase the draw distance? An increase in vPilot's settings doesn't fix the issue.

Thanks!

If you open the aircraft list with the .aircraft command, do you see the invisible planes listed there?

Also, are you using and third party livery packs or model sets?

I've experienced this also. .aircraft *does* list them, and I am *not* using any model or livery packs.

Probably an MSFS bug then.
