Thanks for the explanation Fireskull.
Actually I was the only player. The server was password protected so no other players could join. I spawned on the deck and a couple of minutes later my plane disappeared as if I had crashed and died. I checked the log and it says that I sustained fatal damage (not an exact quote). So my computer was the only one running, I was hosting the game and playing with the same install on the same machine. It made no difference if I remained in my spawn location or whether I taxied up to the right catapult or any other place on the flight deck and engaged my chocks.
Just to check I decided to spawn again and then fire up the game on my laptop and join from there as well. I spawned at a different location on the flight deck with the laptop. Both planes were on the flight deck at the same time, chocks engaged or not engaged (tested several times) and the host machine would disappear (just like when I was the only plane on the deck) and the laptop plane would disappear and be disconnected from the server.
I hope this makes it clear exactly what transpired.
