Strange Multiplayer Issue

I was hosting a session today on Gamespy, when I found something really weird. This Learjet 45 was just floating there with no landing gear down! Even stranger, there was no username for it, and no tail number! I don't think it's AI traffic, because it's not at a parking space.

Here's a screenshot, if it helps. If you look over at the blackhawk, the username shows on it, but nothing above the learjet. when the username or tail number shows on all the other aircraft, there is nothing above the learjet.

Weird, huh?
 
Not sure how many "issues" FSX shares with FS9 multi-player, but I have seen this before, many times, flying online. Well, the invisible landing gear part anyway, not the lack of username over the plane. The lack of landing gear seems to happen when a user switches planes, or when I switch planes. After a while the gear suddenly comes back. Not sure what causes it.
 
Well, in FSX, you can't change planes without exiting the flight. So, your plane would be gone anyway. But the username thing boggles my mind. I also had a CRJ700 taxi and make weird movements, in double speed and takeoff. that was really weird. No username or tail number over it either.

First off, who was flying that particular airplane? If it wasn't even part of your MP group. . .that's definitely strange. I have noticed in MP that my name and info doesn't show for me. . .it does for everyone else, but not for me.

As far as changing planes in FSX, there's nothing to keep you from changing planes in FSX when in MP. . .now if you meant that if you do, it messes up what everyone else sees, yea I have seen that before, but you can certainly change airplanes as many times as you want.:salute:
 
No one was flying the plane! It just was there. The other players saw it to. And they didnt see a username over it either.

I'm talking about you can't change aircraft in game. you have to do it in the main menu in FSX.
