Maybe we can ask about the planned timeline in the next Dev Q&A.
Good idea, do you know when the next Q&A is?
No I donât. I think they usually are held a couple of days after a Sim Update or World Update.
Ah looks like we just missed one. I will keep an eye on this channel thought for news of the next one. I look forward to what they say about shared cockpit. Maybe a nice Christmas present!

Maybe they also have a Dev Q&A after the AAU (Avionics and Aircraft Update) in January. Weâll see. But I donât think itâs likely.
I would love to use a vr headset for a passe ger( think non sim, gamers, old folks etc) but still have a window that I can use to actually fly .
Now that is a cool idea. So you are saying other player could join your plane and just be passengers?
If only there was some kind of official forum where any of them could comment on this⊠hmmmmm ![]()
Thatâs what I am thinking.
I have tried to show the VR flights to my parents and other non fly folk, and they just keep spinning their head around, making it impossible to see what I am doing. Especially if doing âsightseeingâ, No biggie if you just crack on the AP
Itâs impossible for any of us to say for definite, it depends on Asoboâs server setup/limits and whether there are any other limitations we havenât forseen!
My hunch is option B:
Because they have to stream the world data to everyone simultaneously anyway, and the data quite possibly comes from a different server to the one that handles multiplayer anyway.
I wonder what the actual hard limit is for people in your vicinity? Or does it just render the X number of closest aircraft?
You can possibly already do this with the multiscreen support introduced in SUX. You could try setting the VR headset and screen to different screens/views.
You know I am not really sure. I thought it just renders the closest, but I have no idea really! Guessing that would impact overall design quite a bit. Maybe they might start with private servers?
They might do, but I think they wonât. (Because Iâm sure they can imagine how upset a lot of people would be lol). I think theyâll wait until itâs fully ready and then release it.
The thing Iâm wondering is whether it will support all default aircraft at release? And how will it work for third party aircraft?
Weâll just have to wait and see ![]()
Yeah I heard others mention about 3rd party compatibility, but as you say - time will tell!
I wonder when the next dev stream is?
I do know we have had a good vote increase on this! 754 to 813! Happy days!
It might be next year(end of january/start of february), i donât think this year thereâll be any dev stream.
Also even if people vote for that topic doesnât mean itâs discussed by default. I think at previous qa someone added the topic, which got some votes, but it wasnât mentioned.
The best luck i think itâs in the chat on twitch when the stream will occure. This is what happened last time when it was mentioned(i think).
VOTED! Yes, please!
Would be super cool to fly with a friend who doesnât feel too comfortable yet to fly nor do everything alone!
Looking forward towards the update!
Just BC I donât have a lot of experience yet multiplayer⊠Are aircraft-aircraft collisions a thing? Or do you just pass through other vehicles unharmed.
Hi there, planes will just disappear if you get too close so no collisions. ![]()
@Tossy64 @GunnerRat You can also change a traffic setting so others donât disappear, but you still go straight through them. MSFS doesnât have aircraft-aircraft collision, ever.
