Some questions about MP flying

[haddock]

Hi!

Some questions about MP flying:

a) Is there a way to get an overview where the other players are? I know Kenny's GoogleMaps plugin but you have allways to zoom in after refreshing. Is there another way, too?

b) Is it possible to watch the other players from external view like in offline mode for the AI planes (CTRL-s)...?

c) There is a function in MP mode to follow another player by slewing your plane to him. Is it an appropiate way to catch up to the group like yesterday after my late departure, or did you thing about it like a kind of cheating, or is it purely not possible?

TIA

Hi,

a. I think FSNav will do that, as I understand. I don't know of any others.
b. Only by using c), AFAIK
c. The only thing I can say is try it. Just make sure that both you and your target player both have crash detection turned off, since it may put you close enough to trigger a crash. A few people have tried it - sometimes it worked, a few times either it didn't or their FS had problems after that. So I would Save a Flight before you try it.

Hope this helps,

Hi Tom,

thanks a lot. Will try it at next opportunity.
