Shared Cockpit Help - Deskpilot?

Hey guys,

 

Me and a friend of mine plan on flying a Shared Cockpit PMDG B772 for CTP Westbound. I just don't know how I would be able to setup a Shared Cockpit. After a good amount of searching online, I found that the only real solution except for FSX Multiplayer is to use Deskpilot but it looks like the Deskpilot website is no longer a thing. Does anyone have a solution or the download to the Deskpilot program? I would appreciate any help!

 

Thanks,

Ashar

Hey Ashar,

 

Not sure what happened to desk pilot also. I used it a few times myself and although it may have been the best option for PMDG, it certainly had lots of bugs. Keep in mind, I was using the free version so maybe that had something to do with it. I [Mod - Happy Thoughts]ume you and your friend are attempting shared cockpit on two different networks, and in that case, there isn't much I know of that works with PMDG (due to the complexity of the aircraft).

 

If at all possible, your best bet would be to sit in the same room as your friend and fly on the same simulator (similar to how AviationPro does from time to time).

 

Another option would be, as you mentioned, would be to use FSX multiplayer with a downgraded 777. The POSKY 777 isn't a bad alternative if you decide to go this way.

 

Good luck with whatever you decide!

Yeah, I figured. My friend cannot be on the same network as me because we are no where near each other but JoinFS has a shared cockpit system that we hope to try out. Either way, thanks!

Try it a few times first & be sure you've worked out any technical glitches. CTP is not a good time to be trying something experimental.

Cheers,
