What does the red network sign mean?

Hey guys…

So today I was doing my usual flight from KORD to KJVL… suddenly I got this red network symbol on the top right corner…I got scared that I might have been ghosted or something like that, could someone tell me why it happened…Also I am connected to a WiFI network.

It could possibly be an issue in the app, the best thing to do would be restart your device. I’ve noticed that sometimes it can happen after or during the final stages of a long flight. Plus, if you were ghosted then a message would appear on the top of your screen saying who you were ghosted by and how long your ghosting is for.
Example: “You have been reported by MishaCamp, you will be invisible to others for the rest of this session”

Red symbol could means you have been ghosted. But it can also mean you are not connected to internet.

It’s unusual to see this symbol if you have network signals problem during Mid-Flight though. As usually it changes to light-orange

Or wait as the server may have been reset by FDS . It will resolve itself.

It means that there is no connection. Red means none, yellow means connecting, and green means good.

Can you try to respawn back?

I doubt if you are ghosted. But you might want to check your status now to ensure you weren’t ghosted

I think it was an issue with the server. Glad that it has changed back. Enjoy your flight 😊

This is the correct answer in case everyone missed it with all the other strange replies.

I think it’s unusual to see “Red Symbol” during in-flight even though when you are not connected to the internet. Usually it turns to orange symbol.

Although, it’s a different story when you spawned and you dont get an internet coverage. It would turn to red symbol instead of orange

It is unusual but it will go red when there is no connection, and orange with a poor connection.

Like I said above, orange means connecting.
