Nice, I have this as well.  We should try out the shared cockpit feature some time...I've never done it myself, but the TFDI B717 has it built in.  I use prepar3d V4.

Shared cockpit?

I managed to help Skoop with his shared port forwarding. We both had different sims

Skoop: P3DV4 (64bit)
Me: P3DV3 (32bit)

It worked.  :thumbsup

Lots more to come  :happyhappy

Another shared cockpit flight

Beef and I did a shared cockpit lastnight. He was PIC and I the FO. We just jumped right in. We do need to tweak things a little but it was great fun...Beef knows his stuff   :book

Thanks for a great time Beef  :thumbsup

I really like this airplane. Reminds me so much of the PMDG MD-11.  Here is a screen shot of external view of the B717 in Hawaiian airlines livery I took the other day on my first flight (not during flight with Asid yesterday--that was second flight). I look forward to more flights with Asid. I think it'll be a very immersive experience!

110 knots in the face makes this slow going in my AirTran 717 from KDEN to KPHX. Notice the Ground Speed (GS) difference compared to True Air Speed (TAS).
The plane thinks it's hauling a$$, but it isn't  :oldman2

 

Departing Denver International

AirTran was bought by Southwest and no longer exists. Southwest does not operate the B717...but I like flying the Denver-Phoenix sector.

It was a good flight. Definitely getting a feel for it. Need to figure out the effects of pushing the Resync button on the tablet though!

Here we are arriving in Phoenix, north of the airfield.

Well it appears my employer cares about my flight simming enjoyment.  They sent us all $100 holiday thank you check today.

So picked up the 717 :)

Now if I can get the transaction to actually complete in their system.  "PENDING"
