Combat Flight Simulator: Enemy Aircraft in Multiplayer Games Appear Smaller than Expected (264300)

SYMPTOMS

When you play a multiplayer game of Microsoft Combat Flight Simulator, enemy aircraft appear smaller than they do when you play a single-player mission, a Campaign, or a Quick Combat mission.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs for the following reasons:

When you play a single-player mission, a Campaign, or a Quick Combat mission, Combat Flight Simulator uses oversized enemy aircraft models to increase the visibility of the aircraft.
When you play a multiplayer game, Combat Flight Simulator uses the regular size of the aircraft models for all players in the game.

RESOLUTION

To work around this issue, decide on a set of oversized aircraft models, and then require everyone in the game to download and install the same set of models before you start the game.

The Combat Flight Simulator Web site contains links to third-part Web sites that contain numerous aircraft and mission add-ons. To locate and download oversized third-part aircraft models, click one of the Web links on the following Microsoft Web site:
