I have no idea! I've never seen this myself and not seen anything on the list to suggest that there is more than one IA aircraft at KEMT... Interesting. Air traffic seems like it would be a nice enhancement to FGFS though, as in the real world I imagine every pilot has to keep that in mind constantly. > > I was intentionally flying at dusk for the low light conditions and at > first I thought I was seeing a rendering glitch.

I noticed that too, but attributed it to the lower frame rates on the windows machine. I'm not even sure if you can connect 3 or more together, I only have two systems with FGFS on them. Also I've never tried via the internet, only my local lan which is 10/100 base eth through.
