Dual control for the Tiger Moth?

[No1 Cheese]

Hi Gents
Is it intended that the Tger Moth will have dual control in the future?
Thanks.

It already has. Took me several days to figure it out.

There is a function called "Jump between pilot and selected position" within the "Aircraft" section. Default is "Ctrl C".
However this key is also mapped to "Switch to previous manned position" within the "View" section. This causes some unpredictable behaviour when you press "Ctrl C".

Simply give "Jump between pilot and selected position" a dedicated key and it will pass/retrieve the control to the co-pilot. Co-pilot can be human or AI.

PS: Works also with the Br.20

I think the question was is there a dual flight controls in a multiplayer game?
Is there one?
So the best pilot can take the instructor position and newbe the student one!

Yes it's working in multiplayer. As already said, the co-pilot can be human or ai. For human co-pilot both players have to select the same aircraft on the map, one has to enter the Pilot position, the other player the Co-pilot position.

Aircraft selection is pretty complicated at the moment, though.

And how do you select how is controling the plane in flight?

Like in the real plane - whoever is the strongest one

Seriously - in a real airplane you have to agree with the other guy ("I have the controls - you have the controls"), so I don't see the point of making it switchable or smt in the sim.

As I have already written in my first post:

The pilot has to press the key that is mapped to the function "Jump between pilot and selected position" (Default: Cltr C, but as written earlier this key is mapped also to another function that prevents it from working correctly, it has to be changed to a dedicated key). From know on the co-pilot has control over the aircraft, until the pilot hits "Jump between pilot and selected position" again.

Hey All!
How to configure a host for playing the Moth in duality?
I mean the word "WPF.Unavailable puppet place".
When I place a spawn point for a muliplayer game there is no option for unlock the jump in other aircraft function...
Thanks!

The "WPF...." happens if the player is to far away from the aircraft he wants to select (>20 km).
Workaround: Let both player spawn at the same airfield (so they are closer than 20km together) with a Tiger Moth. One player then has to go back to the menu and now should be able to select the co-pilot place. Make sure that "switch aircraft" is enabled in the difficulty settings.

The host player actually shouldn't have that problem, so you can also let the client spawn the aircraft and the host can simply jump into it without the 20km restriction.

Thank You!
