Multiplayer, Cooperation

[f3rr0]

This subject has been tossed around for years. I doubt Dan will go through the arduous process of coding FsP to make this happen.
Besides, this isn't a support subject. I'll move the thread over to FsP General forum.

Hello again.
I came back after long time, I would like to "toss" the topic once again because my friend  has hope that something has changed in this matter.

Some years ago my friend wanted to buy FSP after I told him about this addon, he wanted to fly in the same airline/company as second pilot to compare flights stats, licenses, safety points, farm money together etc. etc. After we got answer from you, my friend decided to wait a bit until such a "cooperatin" between players will be available.

I have company in FSP and I use one pilot what I created for me, My friend would like to buy FSP and create second pilot in my company to fly together with me.
Maybe there is a possibility to share my database for him and let him use second pilot in my  company?
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I have got two ideas how to do it but I have never tested it (do not know other palyers who owns FSP)

1. After each ended/registered flight I can do backup my company database and send it to my friend, after that he can import whole database make a flight, register it on second pilot, then make back up of database and send it back to me to let me to do another flight. Sounds promising and maybe this will work ok

2. Problems will start to grow when we will try to make the flight at the same real time. For example I will register flight, then send backuped database to friend who is going to finish the flight within ~10 min, when he will try to substitute files during flight when FSP is running, then FSP will crash after choosing "end flight/register flight". I tried to substitute files on my computer and it caused crash fatal error of other error and another crash of crash ^^

So I predict that flying in same real time will be impossible. Could some one ask Developper about it or test it if option 1 or 2 will work?
Or maybe Developer will update FPS with new feature to allow flight in one airline together?

Thank you for answers and ideas.
Greetings

FSPassengers, as you know and guess, cannot be shared as it's a stand-alone addon. However you could use the Virtual Airline feature that allows to update your flights data to a website (it's linked in the menu of this site). It's not too difficult to setup a site for this purpose and with the VA feature you could fly together for the same airline (simply set FSP with the same Company name in both simulators).

What you're asking for is another concept of add-on. There's a site named FsHub that allows users to create a Virtual Airline, and by using FSUIPC and LRM client allows to register flights and fly togeter other pilots, with a good Live Gps map tracker. 
Just to let you understand take a look at my FsHub profile and my FSP VA personal site. These give me a lot of fun
