How does multiplayer really works?

Question

I'm trying to fly with a friend as pilot-copilot, but I cannot. All we've achieved is to see what the master pc is doing. (I've tried to follow the Manual "Setting Up a Copilot Station" section).

So we can connect. If I'm copilot I can see what "Master" is doing but I can't modify a thing. No comm editing, or heading, or preset altitude. I can't modify a thing. (I would expect that the main controls roll, pitch, yaw aren't synced).

So, Is this a normal behavior?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, the external visual networking setup required to run a copilot station does not allow the copilot or slaved machine to send data back to the master/pilot machine. This means that the copilot machine cannot actually affect the flight and is more of an inactive passenger role.

Ok, Thank you very much. This part should be mentioned in the manual because I've spent many hours trying to make it work. Finally I kinda got the feeling things were as you explained and I gave up!

This copilot (real working one - not the passenger) is a must in my opinion! It's very funny to fly with a friend working together on the checklists and so on..

PS: Sorry about my bad English skills!! Is jroberts = Jennifer Roberts?

Thank you again,
