Flight Simulator networking and Tower

Good morning,

We have XBox with Microsoft Flight Simulator on Sqn.

Has anyone managed to create a Tower setup so that someone could observe the runway with cadets taking off and flying in formation…?

If you have, how.?

Thank you

Just and add in has anyone tried linking Xbox’s between sqns to doing any formation flying stuff?

We have yet to dabble with MSFS of any vintage. Only ever used flightgear - this has both tower view and multiplayer function. Main motivator for this was it is free (opensource) and functional and not too fussy what GPU you have.

I noticed a post from @W3_lsh on flightsims recently, signposted to hangout in the “what are you playing?” thread - is it worth keeping a thread just for flightsims? The other thread is generic chatter on all things gaming.

Agreed - as it is a slightly different topic.

There are ways you can do it, some less private with other sim players appearing if on the same conditions, but there are ways with a lot more of organisation ahead of it (I am yet to try since I’m too lazy to do it so I just choose the less secure option to fly with my friends)

The Xbox MsFs would need you to subscribe to the live then you can join or have other join you. Without the monthly live it can’t be done. However if you MSFS that’s a different story.
