Tks for the input Cool, but first I dont need you to tell me what is or isnt acceptable.

Second, when I refer to shared cockpit, I am NOT talking about all the functions, only the BASICS, flaps, gear, throttles, etc. CS planes dont allow you to even connect to another cockpit let alone have it functioning in any aspect, and that is UNLIKE a LOT of other devs. I have most every plane (payware) available and almost all of them allow the cockpits to be shared.

Of course not everything works, but there are also workarounds for those.  My complaint is not about CS patching anything, it's about using the FSX tools that are available to at least allow 2 users to join the same cockpit, from the initial release.

I fly multiplayer almost exclusivly and daily and CS is one of only a few that do NOT allow you to connect to another user, and that is a faliure on CS, not the user. It is a Simconnect issue, plain and simple.
