2 person sim

i was wondering if say you had 2 comps hooked up though a lan or a dual screen monitor, and your were flying a plane such as a military c-130 or other 2+ person aircraft so that on one screen you could have the pilot and on the other have a navigator who would have control of autopilot, radar, etc.

seems so cool but could be very complicated thanks

- F-15 Strike Eagle 3 for sure... only modem
- Team Apache maybe
- Apache vs Hokum maybe, and only on Apache

I do believe that WideFS, which relies heavily on Pete Dowson's FSUIPC module and comes as part of the same package, makes this very thing possible.  You might try reading up on this, as it seems very possible to do it.

I believe you can accomplish this with FSCopilot.

Actually, sorry to say that I was wrong.  Went and looked up WideFS and it seems to be simply for running external programs on a LAN, so that you can have multiple PCs running what amounts to their own version of FS.  This would allow you to run all those peripheral programs required for a simpit, without the nuisance of trying to run multiple copies of FS.

There has to be a way to do this.  I'm almost sure I've heard of it being done before.
