1) If I have a custom livery within xplane 11 will other vatsim pilots see my livery?

2) Tower Controller, will they see us actually landing within the sim - assuming controller is running xplane for example and his controller software so he ahs a birds eye view/ground rader.

One more question - when I change my qnh to 1013 after climbing above trans altitude, vatspy and active sky and my air hauler 2 shows my altitude say 21549 when in the aircraft (les saab 340) my altitude is 21000.

 

When using the local qnh my altitude is in sync across all my applications.

VAT-Spy shows your true altitude, not your pressure altitude. (Pressure altitude is what you see on your altimeter when QNH is set to 1013.)

No. Every pilot is only able to see what is installed on their own computer and what their model matching makes of it.

Some controllers do it, yes. When the velocity update is introduced, they will be able to see your landing exactly as it was (for now, the position update frequency is not sufficient for that).
