The '''multiplayer''' feature of [[FlightGear]] makes it possible to see other pilots and vice-versa. This makes it possible to fly in formation, perform [[mid-air refueling]] with tankers controlled by real people or contact real [[air traffic control|air traffic controllers]] to ask for guidance. | The '''multiplayer''' feature of [[FlightGear]] makes it possible to see other pilots and vice-versa.

Multiplayer may cause extreme [[troubleshooting performance issues|framerate drops]] during the loading of aircraft models, especially heavy models such as the [[Boeing 777]] or [[Airbus A320neo]]. It is suggested to fly in locations other than the default [[San Francisco International Airport]], as there are often lots of pilots in the area who are often new, and do not follow ATC, or respect traffic. | |||
