Frank.0, many thanks. I will take a look to see what I can do there.
Pete,
Pretty much...Multiplayer, in terms of MS, as you well know, allows people to fly together, but, as seperate aircraft, so by way of observer mode, or otherwise, being able to duplicate the controls indeed was the thought there.
Seems a little silly in some ways, but, most of what takes place in the real world is a crew of 2, or 3 real people managing portions of the aircraft. I thought the idea of simulating that experience might be fun (at least for for a handful) as well as giving people a chance to learn piloting without necessarily being tossed to the lions, so to speak.
Duplicating the controls is precisely what I had in mind, though, being able to keep the COMMs tuned by one person, and it having effect on both sides and landing gear and the like being managed by the "copilot" is among the ideas I was thinking of...
Many thanks for the replies!
