Hi Robert and Ryan,

 

we have already discussed about it in this thread:

http://forum.avsim.net/topic/456426-fsx-multiplayer-pmdg-planes/

 

I have flown a flight with the Aerosoft Airbus 321. It was working great (not 100%, but 95%).
About the networking stuff what we did discuss, there would be for example a solution that users can install Hamachi VPN to create an own network. Then in the Configurator you put in the IP of your co pilot and he put in your Pilot IP. Then both start a Free Flight with the same Aircraft, Airport / Gate, Weather and Time information. Then they just need to connect. That is the way how it is working with the Aerosoft 320.
It is stable and don't need IVAO or VATSIM.

Do you think it wouldn't be possible for you to have this kind of feature ?

Do you have full voice with each other?

No. There you need to use Skype or Teamspeak.

I hope the PMDG team will say something to this topic.

Hamachi opens a can of worms. Just saying ...

Exactly, PMDG does not want to become a support entity for network products.  That would be a can of worms.  Simply count the number of posts with problems that are solved with either a readme file or the Introduction document for PMDG products. Then add the problems reported with using FSX or P3D and ASN WXR. Finally, add network problems with middle ware from who knows where.  Of course, I am not speaking for PMDG but I have read Ryan's explanation of why they are not pursuing a shared cockpit at this time.
