The aircraft enables a pilot and copilot to jointly fly the aircraft over the FlightGear multiplayer network. Pilot and copilot currently have shared control over primary flight controls, throttle, mixture and so on. Exactly which controls are shared varies between the aircraft but usually include elevator trim, flaps, brakes, cockpit switches, the radio stack and some instrument settings. The copilot has a subset of the full instrumentation (also depending on the aircraft), usually including airspeed, altimeter, VSI, HSI, turn coordinator, engine RPM and the radio stack. Nav/Comm 1 and the first VOR indicator is best controlled by the pilot, while Nav/Comm 2 and the corresponding VOR indicator is faster for the copilot. | The aircraft enables a pilot and copilot to jointly fly the aircraft over the FlightGear multiplayer network.
