Fabrizio Pascucci Posted June 12, 2016 at 07:05 PM Posted June 12, 2016 at 07:05 PM I use with a friend the Share cockpit feature in vpilot using callsign+A and OBS mode. But If the pilot non flying in observer mode we want to talk to ATC it couldn't contact and send text on uni comm. How we can speak both of us to ATC on share cockpit feature?

Bradley Grafelman Posted June 12, 2016 at 07:10 PM Posted June 12, 2016 at 07:10 PM You can't. (At least, you can't unless you decide to not use the "observer" functionality in vPilot... although that would cause two separate targets to appear on ATC scopes and likely cause you to see the other pilot's aircraft almost-on-top of you.)

Fabrizio Pascucci Posted June 12, 2016 at 08:22 PM Author Posted June 12, 2016 at 08:22 PM Well, let's hope that we can simulate this in the future... Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board of Governors Nicholas Cavacini Posted June 13, 2016 at 04:31 AM Board of Governors Posted June 13, 2016 at 04:31 AM I honestly don't see it changing anytime in the near future. The only way it would be possible is to create a new connection type that can transmit. (By definition and COC restrictions, an observer connection is not able to communicate on any frequency) NickVice President - SupervisorsVATSIM Board of Governors Contact the Supervisor Team | Could you be a Supervisor?

David Zhong Posted June 13, 2016 at 10:06 AM Posted June 13, 2016 at 10:06 AM If the pilot who will be primarily responsible for communication logs on as non-observer, you won't have a problem most of the time. David Zhong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Board of Governors Simon Kelsey Posted July 3, 2016 at 09:45 PM Board of Governors Posted July 3, 2016 at 09:45 PM Just to be clear for anyone else reading - both parties can transmit on voice, it's only text transmission which is blocked for the Observer. The solution, as mentioned above, is for PF to connect as Observer and PM to connect "normally", which gives PM (who should normally be responsible for communications anyway) full communication facilities whilst PF still has voice transmit capability. It would, however, be nice in the future for there to be a proper Shared Cockpit pilot connection type which permits full communications for both parties without both connections being visible on the ATC clients.
