from an immersion stand point the pilot wont give control to the co-pilot because copilot can see better to the right.  it seems that coading time could be better use fixing some other stuff that needs fixing.

Having been both pilot and copilot on B17 and B24 I gotta tell ya that sometimes we did switch who the flying pilot was such as formation flight or taxiing into tight areas. Having the ability to pop into the right seat would take the place of having the other pilot tell you when to turn.

I'm guessing you've never flown one that you can't just respawn if something happens.  :D

maybe instead of having to adjust the view every other time you want to change views, just looking right and then moving forward woud make it easier?

hey kev, you can just get into the nose gun (or whatever gun) and use rudder to turn. no loss of altitude, so no need to worry about crashing if you're NOE

Agreed. This would be a tremendous help for myself, especially
in the B-25.

+1 on OP, particularly for this reason.

b17 and b24 you can move over quite easily with cursor key / f10

dunno why the 25 or 29 cant.

26 can also, as can goon. and ju88 but the mg gets in the way a bit. :)

no never flown one, but I did stay at a holiday... ok i did go into one at an airshow.  was pretty cool.  my point is why waste time coading something that can easily be done in f3 mode and hardly would be used.  I know nothing about coading, but i dont think its a simple type yes line for it.

How about if you were in a B-29?  Technically, there was no co-pilot in a B-29, only the aircraft commander and pilot.  :t

From an immersion standpoint, your co-pilot would be there telling you about any
obstacles while you concentrate on your instruments.

From an immersion standpoint, being able to sit in the right seat will cover your
missing co-pilot pretty well.

From an immersion standpoint you will often see the FO land an aircraft and the PIC take over half way down the runway during rollout.  This is especially common in CRJ- aircraft where the FO only has about 5 degrees of steering on the nose wheel and the PIC needs to drive them off the runway.  Pilots and FOs change driving roles in the strangest places...since we don't HAVE FOs (or maybe we don't have PICs, never been too positive on that)...then again if you want immersion XPlane isn't too bad.

I find the wish to be more of a position wish, not a person wish.  You're just being AKAK.   :D
