February 16, 201214 yr I need Multicrew. It's not here therefore makes me sad. New planes are cool but a fs revolution is cooler.
February 16, 201214 yr Yup....the Maddog is the only decent Multicrew platform out there, and it i s showing its age....would be awesome if its features could be matched in the NGX or ANY PMDG product for that matter! Will Reynolds Flight Sim Addict
February 16, 201214 yr I'm very inerested in this aspect of simming. Heck I'll even take FO and work the radios! "I am the Master of the Fist!" -Akuma

February 16, 201214 yr I'm very inerested in this aspect of simming. Heck I'll even take FO and work the radios!It is a great experience....we usually decide who will be PF and PNF before hand, and where you will seat (right or left hand)....and follow real procedures from there...always fly on VATSIM, so the PNF does the checklists and radio, and the PF is in command....takes the simulation to a whole new level in my humble opinion!

February 16, 201214 yr I feel your pain, I wish we had some form of it available for the NGX, or at least some sort of update, or possibility of it happening.

February 16, 201214 yr That's not exactly how it worksAh! I was thinking shared cockpit, not mulitcrew.My fault. Edited February 16, 201214 yr by SKEWR "I am the Master of the Fist!" -Akuma
February 16, 201214 yr Ah! I was thinking shared cockpit, not mulitcrew.My fault.Its the same thing. "Multicrew" is the unofficial name PMDG gave the idea of shared cockpit for their addons.Regardless of the "correct" way you implement CRM (Crew resources management) in a simulator, it still doesn't take away from the idea that this would be an incredible feature addon for the NGX. There are quite a few people digging really hard to find a way to create a solution to implement this idea. Data sharing over the WAN/LAN is easy and may have already been proven to be robust. The biggest issue seems to be finding an approved method to pull and push custom variables from Custom coded gauges. Hopefully, and I cross my fingers 10 times, the SDK will allow a 3rd party developer to read and write these variables to complete a solution for shared cockpit.JB Edited February 16, 201214 yr by Buzz313th Buzz313th
February 16, 201214 yr Yup....the Maddog is the only decent Multicrew platform out there, and it i s showing its age....would be awesome if its features could be matched in the NGX or ANY PMDG product for that matter!I believe the DA Fokker also has multicrew, and its apparently a very capable simulation. I dont own it myself, but I have heard people saying it is to the F70/F100 what the Maddog is to the MD80. Apparently its very, very good. Johan Pettersen
