Importance of livery in seing each others

Another kink in the MP of MSFS;


Again, this test was performed with the Airbus H135 but the basics would be the same for any a/c.

Short preliminary report on liveries during MP sorties:
1- All a/c using the same livery = all players seeing the same livery;
2- All a/c using d/l included liveries = will see other a/c in one "dominating" livery while individual player will see their choosen one.
3- All a/c using non-included liveries = will see other a/c as GA low-wing a/c (if textures not on your PC) or a/c with "dominating" livery (if you have the texture) and player will see their choosen one,
4- a/c with some other type a/c = the other type a/c will be seen if they are (model + texture) in your game hangar (community or official) but their liveries may be altered. Otherwise, you will see GA "fall-back to" a/c;
5- If you enter on a saved flight with one a/c, but with your main mount not being the same a/c, you will see other a/c in number 2 or 3 and the "dominant" liverie is anybody guess.

So far, "fall-back to" a/c have been Piper (which is not in my Hangar BTW) and Daher.

P.S.- If anyone is interested in trying this experiment with GA a/c and knows of a cozy place with plenty of lined-up parking space, just send me a pm.
