Color of other aircraft labels and planes

For player colours, see this thread:

For aircraft colours on the minimap (pilot’s perspective):

  • white: your aircraft
  • blue: other aircraft
  • orange: alert: other aircraft that’s in close proximity to you (over three miles, but possible traffic conflict)
  • red: high alert: other aircraft potentially in collision range (I think it’s either <3 or <1 NM distance and less than 1000ft altitude clearance)

It’s a basic emulation of a TCAS system.

If they disappeared - depending on which server you were flying on, it could be any of the following:

  • they quit the app
  • app crashed
  • they were reported by users and the system ghosted them
  • they racked up a high number of violations and the system ghosted them (this is automatic)
  • the ATC ghosted them for inappropriate behaviour (advanced server only)
