In Background

1

I have a question. I’ve noticed planes around me say [in background] what does that mean? Does that mean they’re under Autopilot+?

This is correct. “In Background” = AutoPilot+

Oh ok thank you!

And with autopilot+ I can even turn off my device and it’ll still run? If I meet the criteria ofc. I can leave the app/turn my device off?

Yes you can turn your device off.

However, we still can see them while more than 100NM out of range in the map compared to normal other pilots, is that normal ?

What do you Mean by that?

Normally in the Sim map, like the Sim radar you see when you see other players around you the further you away from some busy regions and the less you “Should” see other player right?

But with that new “in Background” mention, you can still other players flight even across the Atlantic even if you starting you descent at SXM after 7hrs trip for example, this is the thing I found kinda weird
