Hello: The enjoyment of using multiplayer should be extended to be able to communicate with each other: inter-aircraft yes, no? Recently, through the advantage of using FG on one computer and following the multiplayer server on another, with the Google Map, it was possible to "fly" with others. However, when on the Ground at Oakland, I was on the same runway, nose to nose, with a similar aircraft. It would have been nice to communicate with the other "pilot" by voice or text, to indicate one's intentions to take off in formation for example. You felt just like being handicapped that you could see, but do nothing about it! By using the parking brake, the canopy would open - indicating I was not in the process of moving. On releasing the parking brake, the canopy closed, thus indicating I was about to move. To my surprise, when doing this, the other aircraft's canopy opened and closed at the same time. Was this coincidence or not? No, as after doing this several times, the other aircraft did it at the same time. Yes, when I was manipulating my controls, it was operating the other aircraft as well!
When I took off, yes, it took off with me. Everything I did it copied at the very same time. Is this just being seen on my screen, as my controls are controlling what is on my screen? Does the other user see this? I would welcome a user to contact me directly by email, if they see the username "sauviat" flying at the same time as they, so they can corroborate what is happening. Contact me on [EMAIL PROTECTED] to make the communication.
