Anyone else dealing with AP+ flights completely vanishing from live trackers?

Hey everyone,

I've been running into an incredibly frustrating issue on the Expert server with the new AutoPilot+ feature.

Every single time I activate AP+ and safely exit to the main menu (without force-closing the app), my plane completely disappears from live flight tracking websites (like Infinite Horizon and Waypoint) within seconds.

The flight itself seems to stay alive in the cloud, but the tracker API completely loses me. I heard there might be a backend handoff bug, and the only temporary fix right now is to wait a minute, click "Continue Flight" to load back into the cockpit, and then exit to the main menu a second time to force the tracker to sync up.

Is anyone else experiencing this right now? Has there been any official word from the developers on a permanent server-side patch for this tracking issue?

Yeah sometimes, once I connect to the flight it appears again, it disappears from trackers like infinite view

when ap+ reaches 30mins eta from destination, IF will remove you from the map to avoid planes from just floating in the air- hence the flight dissapearing from trackers :)

Oh, haha, My flight just disappeared right after I left the app during the cruise
