Multiple crew play.

Post by Csa02221862 »

As a retired airline captain, I will tell you there is nothing like flying with a real crew. Is there any way to set up COTS to allow all 3/4 positions to be manned? Or even just Captain and Engineer? This would be fantastic.

Well, I have done a "hookey" shared cockpit in the Connie. Here is the post on it earlier in the year. Give it a go and see how it works. We have not done this in some time now but it has worked.

I was thinking of two scenarios.

One computer with the captain's panel on one screen the first officer on another and the engineers on a third.

Two to three people each in a different seat via IP participating in the same flight.

I think TeamViewer would work for this. It would take some setting up to make it work properly and maybe require three monitors on the host PC. TV will let the client choose which monitor to show one their PC so it would be up to host to set up windows in a way that will allow this.

I will give this a try, first with 2/3 monitors and will them try to mimic the engineer's panel via TM on my laptop.
