Multicrew "join" button missing

Post by QRM » Tue Dec 31, 2024 4:04 pm

Hi all
we host a flightplan on the dedicated server, choose the Duo with "two pilots" and "back "seat" checked. The second PC (pilot) joins the dedicated server and goes directly to the "Multiplayer" tab . But here he do not see the host pilot/plane and no option to join this plane. The host never receives a request to accept a second pilot.
Any idea what is missing here ?
Happy New Year to all :-)

Does it work on another random server on the serverlist? Try one of the freeflight ones. Just to rule out a server issue.

Just to make sure you understand the process.

Player 1(pilot in command) needs to join a server. Stay in the flightplanner screen. Do NOT click the "join flight" button. Select any twoseater both of you own. I suggest the DuoDiscus or the Blanik. Select the "Two Pilots (MTOW)" option in the hangar tab. Now wait for the other player to connect.

Player 2 joins the same server and goes directly to the Multiplayer tab. There he will find player 1 listed and player 2 will see a "JOIN" button on the empty seat. Player 2 clicks this button. Player 1 will then see a popup asking him to accept or decline. Click accept.

Only after you have made the coupling, player 1 can click the "join flight" button. You cannot join a glider that is already flying.

Ofcourse you need 2 separate Condor licenses. You cannot join a server with both players using the same Condor license.

Hi , thank you very much for this little, but important hint. It works now , my missunderstanding was, that the dedicated server is the host and the client can join as a copilot, it is true the pilot and copilot BOTH join the dedicated server in there respective role.

But now the next hurdle: we are unable to start the flight while sitting in the same glider, the "Start Flight" is just missing. Also the expected audio connection is not working (both micro and speaker in each PC correct adjusted).
