I think that explanation is bang on the money, and makes sense from MS developers' standpoint - why code in seemingly unnecessary data? Unfortunately it's a bit of a drawback when doing parked parts. I suppose one alternative would be doing a VC switch to toggle them on and off, assuming MP/FSR would not have a problem with that custom variable.SkippyBing wrote:The problem with the Canberra and others in multi-play and FS recorder playback is that variables that aren't set default to 0. FS Recorder doesn't record all possible variables so I'd imagine that's the problem there and MP probably doesn't pass the other aircraft's hydraulic state to reduce band width, it really only needs things like position, heading, gear, flaps etc.
The same also applies to the preview window now I think about it, where everything is set at zero or it's neutral position.
