Personally, I can go anywhere in the world (in VR, even) – but only alone. I really enjoy this flight sim and want to share my enthusiasm with friends, but that’s difficult these days.
No need for actual simulation of the passengers: it’s up to the pilot to add passenger weight & distribution if he/she wants to go for full realism.
A shared voice channel would be nice (same cabin/cockpit no need for ptt/radio), but any third-party voice chat can be used.Passengers have some graphics settings, but no need for control bindings, weather, flight-planning, aircraft selection, flight log, market place, etc.Passengers use flat 2d screen, headtracking or even VR (basically “free look” by default).A shared flight can be accessed by a link, much like any other meeting these days.The pilot (owner of a full MSFS-version) creates the flight (weather, time, flight plan, etc).Passengers don’t need to know anything about flying, nor do they need any flight simulation hardware.Passengers will of course still need a good computer and internet connection.Passengers can’t control anything, but can join the flight in any seat.It would also be a fantastic way of coping with the isolation we all suffer right now: meet with friends anywhere in the world. Apart from being a lot of fun, I imagine it being a great way to way to find new customers of the full (payed) version of the simulator. This would be the perfect way to share the experience with friends and introduce them to the hobby. There are many requests for “shared cockpit” and “multiplayer” features, but what I really would like to see these days is a way of introducing friends to flight simulation by inviting them as passengers:Īllow anyone (with a sufficient computer) to follow along as a passenger in a “read-only” demo version of the simulator.
