It would be really great if we could choose to have the Co-Pilot avatar in the flight or not. Sometimes I want/need to fly alone with the accurate weight representation. Yes I can set the Co-Pilot weight to 0 but seriously all we need is a checkbox to enable/disable the character model.
This could potentially be expanded to fill the passengers seats as well? At least for the smaller GA aircraft to start with.
Easy .. pick one of the Pilot models to be the Missing Pilot.. corrupt it’s Texture name, and it wont show.
Then that Pilots is your “Mr Invisible” Co-Pilot.
Yeah that’s kind of not the point though. You can also edit the Aircraft.cfg and remove the line related to the co-pilot.
All i’m asking for is a checkbox in the UI to remove/add that very line.
OK, since have done that by an edit, and would have preferred to have it done by the UI, I have Voted … OK … (to be honest – for what little good it will do )
Thanks for the vote. It is a cosmetic feature for sure, but I didn’t think it would be too hard to implement which is why I thought it was worth putting it out there, also with the potential to evolve into something much bigger later on if they had actual passenger models on airlines. 
Well, I think any changes to the UI, are far more complex to do than you may imagine … but we will see …
A small change to the UI, adding a tick box (or weight function).
An extra 2-4 lines in the external model (most aircraft have the copilot there already)
An extra 2-4 lines in the internal model (most aircraft do NOT have the copilot there already)
This is insanely easy to implement!
I did it for my DR250 and Caravan No Pod.
Another dev activated internal copilot models for all default aircraft on flightsim.to a very long time ago.
Also, more passenger character models, even if available as an add-on download for passenger occupancy would be definitely appreciated. Pilot models feet are sitting out as if they’re on the pedals. Passengers need to have their feet down resting on the ground.
Per seat is a small tickbox (or weight function)
Per seat requires an extra 2-4 lines in the external model (most aircraft have the copilot there already)
Per seat requires an extra 2-4 lines in the internal model (most aircraft do NOT have the copilot there already)
Also, quite easy to implement.
In FS24 free flight provide the ability to see a co-pilot and maybe passengers, for all aircraft as appropriate. (A similar wish was made for MSFS (2020) several years ago, but went no where.) 
If you where a voter then, lets try again to get the feature in FS24! 
I discovered that a co-pilot model appeared in the DC-3 when in photo mode and pointing the “camera” at the co-pilot position! Obviously the capability is already there and can be turned off and on easily.
These are the old FS2020 wishes!
Hallo, thanks for the info.
Yes, in FS2024 you can make the co-pilot and passengers visible. This is activated in the personalization and then additionally when loading the aircraft in the EFB weight co-pilot and passengers.
I have no experience with this in the use of passenger aircraft.
In addition, the setting depends on whether Cold and Dark is started or not.
At the moment, however, I still haven’t managed to activate the pilot in the interior view on the Fs2024. It is only visible in the exterior view.
Seeing “my body” as a pilot in VR mode would be the most important thing for me. Everything else is now possible in FS2024.

This whole topic is quite confusing for me. Can someone explain what determines whether co-pilot and/or passengers appear/disappear from the seats? I am specifically talking about GA aircraft as I don’t fly tubes (yet) and specifically about fs2020.
In some add-on aircraft, we have a tablet to manipulate passenger/co-pilot occupancy (Cessna 414 Chancellor for instance, where this works perfectly)
In some freeware aircraft, co-pilot and passengers appear when adjusting the weight in the weights/balances screen (freeware Yak 18T for example) and this works perfectly for each seat. So I know for sure it can be done as per what I would consider the “logical” method.
In some freeware aircraft, we have a tablet checkbox for the co-pilot seat but not for the passenger seats. Like the Cessna 206 Stationair that can be found on the .to website. Adjusting loadout weights in this particular aircraft has no effect.
In some payware aircraft, like the GF Wilga, I cannot manage to get my favorite co-pilot (the duck) to appear next to me, even though that avatar is part of an add-on that is provided by GotFriends themselves.
The carenado beech model 18 does not seem to support co-pilot and passengers at all … ???
It’s giving me a headache 
I really enjoy my copilot in FS24. They are even able to move their lips when responding to ATC. I had a copilot in FS2020 (Asobo 747), but when I reinstalled (relocation of files, not technical problems), I lost the copilot. It was a pretty simple coding solution in the interior00 gltf. Since reinstall, I’ve either gotten both pilot and copilot (impossible to see through), neither, or CTD. In the older version of Salty 747, there was a menu in “settings” where a pilot or co-pilot or both could be selected. For those who don’t care to have that, fine. But for simple coding, it would enhance the experience of quite a few of us.
UPDATE: I was able to figure it out. I now have a copilot in FS2020. Not sure how much more I will be using '20 unless I have another disastrous experience with fs24 Beta (things are looking better now)
