AI traffic not appearing in the sky

Question

I have 4 aircraft designated AI, flying out of EICK (Cork, IRL).  The aircraft appear on the MAP in flight, but there are no aircraft or contrails visible in the sky.  Has anyone else found this after upgrading to 11.32r2?

Answer 1

I’ve experienced this when I have the XSquawkBox plugin enabled.  The symptom is all the AI aircraft would appear on the map (all idle, pointing north), but not visible when they are within viewable distance.  I suspect certain traffic-related plugin is interfering with X-Plane’s AI traffic engine.

Perhaps this is what you call the “Reverse Stealth” technology—full radar cross-section, but invisible to the eyes!
