Expanded .join control
« on: April 11, 2011, 07:46:06 PM »
How about a mode while having someone in your plane via the .join command where they see the same views you are.
Maybe a .accept GameID 1 , for slave mode where they see the same view as the pilot does.

A way to force the person who joins you to see what you see. You check your 9 , they look at your 9. You look back and left, they look back and left.
Similar to watching a film using 'Recorded views' but real-time when it's happening.
Of course you would not use this option if you wanted a gunner to join your bombers or someother plane and want them to actually do something.

it would be no less realistic than having someone .join your 1 seat fighter and become a second set of eyes for ya. as it works now.


+1, but i assume lag might be an issue.

I wonder how well this would work if someone, like me, uses TrackIR.

I think this would be more like a training tool than anything else.  get a new guy up with you and a fighter and he sees what you see along with an explanation.  the other guy wont be the normal extra set of eyes.
