Tomas Hansson Posted April 7, 2021 at 05:17 PM Posted April 7, 2021 at 05:17 PM No way to do that. Only aircraft that are connected to VATSIM are visible to other users! Tomas Hansson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert Shearman Jr Posted April 8, 2021 at 01:24 PM Posted April 8, 2021 at 01:24 PM It would require everyone's pilot client to constantly send position updates to the server for ALL ground vehicles it was creating -- then, everyone's pilot client ALSO to RECEIVE position updates for ALL other pilots' ground vehicles, place those vehicles in the sim, represent them properly, animate them properly, move them properly, etcetera. Not everyone on VATSIM uses the same sim (we have people connecting with FS9, FSX, MSFS2020, XP10, XP11, various versions of P3D, and even FlightGear) so this functionality would need to be cross-platform. And can you imagine the bandwidth AND framerate hit you'd take every time you got close to an airport? In other words: (a) it wouldn't be nearly as simple as you think, and (b) it'd be a huge "no thanks" from me. Cheers, -R.

Koen Meier Posted April 8, 2021 at 01:28 PM Posted April 8, 2021 at 01:28 PM the upcoming position update frequency is already something that could hit users negativly during big events with a lot of AI. now add ground vehicles. it would be stutterfest for all. i dont really like that.
