Since fs2024 allows people to get up and walk around why not just combine both ideas? Allow friends to climb into any seats of your plane, and go from there. If it’s a 4-seater there is no reason 4 people should not be able to get together, get into the 4 seats, and fly together.

Yeah be the copilot or pilot of your friend would be top cherry for this game, so many possibilities for training etc etc

If you guys remember FSX, shared cockpit was amazing and simply worked!
My nephew who is a pilot taught me with how to use GPS/Autopilot in Shared Cockpit. Think about what a great learning tool this could become!
So you load the sim wait for your friend at your favorite airport you see him taxi over to you and you walk 3rd person to his plane and get on passenger side! Now your in the seat and the learning can begin. He gets in the air at a safe Alt and hands the controls over to you! HUGE Opportunity for Learning! I don’t think you guys know what an important Tool this could become!
Here is a video actually showing Shared cockpit setup and operation!

Hi Jay!
Yes I learned a lot on Shared Cockpit.
To be fair The Microsoft FS 24 team did admit they had issues.
I say we give them as much Positive Feedback as we can and I know they have a lot on their plate, but I think they will correct it and give us our Wishlist Items.
Speaking of Issues I have 2 monitors that I use with FS and if I move the EFB 2 my second monitor on the left, it makes the EFB super laggy and unusable! I will report it once I figure how to do it.
(We) my small group of older flight sim guys are always looking for pilots to fly flight plans in Multiplayer, if you are interested please add me on the xbox game app PC and on FS2024. That goes for any older pilots that are looking for a slower more mature experience in FS2024 Multiplayer.
Thanks much!

Hey Microsoft and Asobo,
Regarding shared cockpit in Microsoft Flight Simulator, it’s about time this feature gets integrated as a default, official game mechanic, and not just something players have to improvise. It fits so well within the experience, and at this point, it’s somewhat long overdue.
There’s been consistent demand from the community, with mods like YourControls already showing a glimpse of what’s possible. It’s clear that multiplayer flights would be much more enjoyable with players assuming full roles in the cockpit. Whether for team flying or simply better immersion, shared cockpit is a natural fit for the type of experience MSFS is known for.
We know you’re working on cool features for MSFS 2024, but please, consider prioritizing shared cockpit as a must-have feature.
It’s the perfect way to make the simulator even more engaging and fun for everyone.
