Zachary Creighton 1313743 Posted March 19, 2017 at 11:29 AM Posted March 19, 2017 at 11:29 AM Heya! I have been flying on vatsim on and off for a bit. My friends are interested in playing too. One of them would like me to Co-Pilot/First officer them in a flight. I'm not entirely sure on what is the best approach to this. We are going to use the Airbus X (A321) for our trip, apparently there is a built in shared cockpit mode in the software somewhere but I'm not sure what to do there... I was told that VPilot has a feature where you can do this, but I'm not sure how to make it work, and I was wondering if anyone had any solutions or advice they could give me to set it up correctly (where we can both use the aircraft at the same time) or any methods that are easier for us to do. Cheers, and thanks in advance, Zac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradford Lee Posted March 19, 2017 at 11:48 AM Posted March 19, 2017 at 11:48 AM vPilot only facilitates the proper network connections for shared cockpit / observer mode: http://vpilot.metacraft.com/Docomeentation.aspx#shared-cockpit You also have to go through the setup process in your flight sim client to set it up as well. Here's a few videos explaining it: ***Please note though, only use the vPilot observer mode when you're working with another pilot as the primary user on your shared flight. If you connect by yourself in observer mode as a way to "observe" and not show up on the network, Supervisors may start contacting you in regards to an inactive callsign, since you are not actively flying or offering ATC services, if your observing time becomes a concern.*** Brad Lee ZJX ARTCC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
