Hi guys, chris again, new question today!

Basically i want to know if it is possible for two people (myself and an RL friend) to fly on the same computer system with dual yokes and pedals and shared throttle quad etc etc, and fly on acars and get the same credit for the flight and its hours...? i know it may sound weird but ive always wondered, because i have a good friend of mine who enjoys flying on my sim with me from time to time, but wants to join the VA and get credit kinda like im captain and he is co-pilot.

I am aware some of our virtual pilots share the cockpit over ACARS and VATSIM over TWO computer systems, and they have seemed to have that working for them, but im curious if it is do able on one.

Also, if someone can explain how to fly together over ACARS and on VATSIM on two seperate computers and both get credit via our own ACARS, that would also be very much appreciated!

Cheers,

-Chris

Not on the same computer, but I do know some people have managed a shared cockpit across with two different computers on VATSIM. They didn't explain how they did this though.

I forget the name of the program, its only like $10 but allows you to share a cockpit over the internet. Just have to let the vatsim controllers know cause it looks funny on their radar scope with 2 jets on top of each other since there's 2 active connections going on.
