Hi everybody!

I would like to know if a Mod allowing two players in LAN to perform sort of a flight school lessons could be conceivable?

I suppose this could be done by allowing multicrew (maybe adding some sort of a choice panel prior to fly...) for the plane.

The mod could allow the following:

     ¤Both Seats:
               -Addition of a "MASTER ARM" switch controlling every ordnance release on the airplane + MGs/Cannons firing
   
     ¤Front Seat:
               -Normal control over pitch, roll and yaw

               -Normal control over flaps, airbrakes and wheels brakes

               -Normal control over trim tabs (all axis)

               -Normal control over ordnance hung under the bird and MGs/Cannons (with the restriction of the Rear Seat Master Arm)
             
    ¤Rear Seat (Instructor):
               -Normal control over pitch, roll and yaw with priority when both joysticks are moved simultaneaously (maybe the most difficult part I guess, I have no idea on how to do this...)

               -Normal control over flaps, airbrakes and wheels brakes with priority only if front and rear seats levers are used simultaneaously

               -Normal control over trim tabs (all axis) with priority only if front and rear keys are used simultaneaously

               -Normal control over ordnance release and MGs/Cannons firing (just like the trainee)

               -Priority over "Master Arm" switch
                => if the Rear (Instructor) switch is SAFE, then no matter what the position of the front switch, all ordnance and guns are "Cold"
                => if the trainee wants to release ordnance or fire weapon, the rear seat switch must be ON.

               -Priority over radio PTT (sounds like a gadget but can be fun!)

               -Special key to transmit on a different freq the trainee will not be able to hear (used for formation training to allow direct link between two instructors, there also more like a gadget than a really needed thing...)

Of course, the Mod would only be available on trainers, like AT-6 or Tiger Moth, T-33, etc.


Further developpment could also include a RIO/WSO Mod with controls over Radar/Pod...


Thanks for looking, I tried to be as explicite as I could and if someone has something to add please feel free to answer the thread or PM me and I will add it to the request with your copyright of course! Same thing if you think this request is not complete enough!

Thanks a lot to all modders for constantly upgrading our IL2!

Cheers!
