I don't often get exasperated; but jesus fucking christ, man.

I never ONCE said multiplayer wasn't possible. (Please show me where i said this is not possible, even once)

This is what you said:

I'm very familiar with the Simulation community. Was a long time FSX player and have been part of many ATC communities, loved doing those long haul with 10 other players across the atlantic, still, kind of false advertising to say it ships with the game :I

To which i replied:

Which you can, easily. Pick and Join your ATC network, install the client/plugin, proceed in game.

When you complained that vatsim/etc was not what you are looking for and that you felt like you were falsely advertised to....

It says "Multiplayer" on the right hand side, And your probably going to say "But you can, by downloading it" but it's false advertising, the tag suggests the game ships with multiplayer already installed.

I then followed up with a link to the documentation to the feature that is built in that you are looking for.

Oh, well you can do that via the In-Flight Menu if you have other friends with X-plane - It's all built-in.

Did you try reading the manual? Just because you don't know how to do something doesn't mean you should accuse a company of 'false advertising'.

No one uses this - It's situational - If you're going to formation fly or something maybe. The ATC networks like vatsim allow you to participate with people who are using ATC clients as well as FSX - And see them all over the world.

When did i ever ONCE say what you are looking for is "NOT POSSIBLE"?
