Just a few ideas...1. Why doesn't Microsoft create one massive online server and charge people a $30-$50 monthly subscription? (steep price to keep the kiddies from joining) Can you imagine all of us flying in the same world?2. Why doesn't Microsoft allow for co-pilots to join your plane online? Would be nice if a friend of mine gets to sit on my co-pilot seat on a cross-Atlantic flight.Any other ideas? Will it be 10 years before we see anything like this? Sigh....

Do you actually see other planes fly in your world (being flown by other players) using VATSIM or do you only hear ATC chatter?Awesome. Never knew there was multiplayer/shared-cockpit capability! Thanks mate.

With that said, is anyone looking for an amateur co-pilot to bestow upon your knowledge and show the ropes to? :-)
