To use this feature the pilot sets the property /sim/remote/pilot-callsign to the callsign of the prospective copilot. This property can be set in the property browser, on the [[command line]] or in fgrun. Command line example:
To use this feature the pilot and copilot select each other in their Co/Pilot selection dialogs available from the "Zeppelin NT"->"MP-(Co)Pilot" menu.
 
Alternatively the pilot sets the property /sim/remote/pilot-callsign to the callsign of the prospective copilot. This property can be set in the property browser, on the [[command line]] or in fgrun. Command line example:
  fgfs --aircraft=ZLT-NT --prop:/sim/remote/pilot-callsign="someone"
  fgfs --aircraft=ZLT-NT --prop:/sim/remote/pilot-callsign="someone"
