creekdog Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 My friend Greywolf and I do a good bit of shared flights and I was just wondering how much other people use the shared cockpit feature. Any others out there flying with co-pilots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Tried it a few times and it's great. My mate is sick and I take him flying because he has trouble with the controls. Works a treat and he loves it. What is strange, is that he is in Aus, and I am in the USA. Teecee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf2grey Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 That is cool Teecee......We are not THAT far apart though. That is awesome. We are about 200 miles apart but it does work great. Our only problem is finding Payware Aircraft that will WORK in the Shared Cockpit mode. A2A, Nemeth Designs, PMDG etc will not Share Aircraft. We have found some planes from Aerosoft that work and of course all the original planes and heli's work too. Caranedo seems to work OKAY but they always have "Gauge Errors" when Sharing Aircraft and sometimes that Error code will shutdown my AA settings in the game and that kinda is a turn off visually.

caaront Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I tried it once and loved it, it was fun. I never can find anyone in multi-player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimNZ Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 My friend, Mozz (Maurice King )and I, fly together occasionally. As he has his private licence he is able to show me a lot of in depth flying tips which has helped me a lot. Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teecee Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 @wolf2. The Carenado is my favourite VFR aircraft, ported from God knows how many versions of FS ago (probably FS2002), and it works a treat.. my mate has the same version and we have no problems to speak of. @Caaront I am in MS, perhaps we can give sharing a go.. I must warn you though that I do most of my FSX flying in Aus. Jump of TS some time and we can give it a try. You can email me when you are online if you like terry9511@bellsouth.net .Teecee.

Ryan Mason Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 The nemeth as350 will work in shared mode, I have personally tested this and it works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekdog Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 THanks Ryan, Nemeth had said in an email that there was a problem they could not figure out that caused their sharing issue. Hopefully this will be a non-issue from here on out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomlin Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Another great plane is the Lotus Simulations L39 Albatross. This aircraft is *incredible* and was made from the ground up with the sole intention of shared cockpit, so it's very feature rich for that specific purpose. Because it's a trainer, it has in the rear seat an instructor's station that will allow you to fail instruments up front. What I love about this aircraft is not only how well it flies and how awesome it looks, but it's got super systems modelling, yet it's simple enough that after reading through the manual you can get it up and flying properly quickly. To add to all of this, know that I am not a fan of flying fighter jets in FS. The cool thing is that there are hundreds, if not more, of these that are owned by private owners all over the world because they became available quickly for private purchase after the Soviet Union collapsed. I can think of no greater aircraft to fly either low and slow, or FAST and low over the great Orbx scenery using Shared Cockpit. http://www.lotussim.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekdog Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Thanks for the heads up Eric! I'll have to wait a bit to buy since I just had to pay for an expensive repair to my car, but it's looks to be a cool plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
