Instead of using the multiplayer servers (which seem to work well, with the splendid MPmap),
I would like to try a direct my-to-his external (not lan) IP-to-IP connection,
to use Flightgear 2017.2.1 (or now 2017.3.1) to:
1. Fly two c172 planes, being able to see each other's aircraft
2. Fly c172-pilot and he fly c172-copilot
We both have several computers on a lan, so if I set my --multiplayer out to his IP, port nnnn
and his --multiplayer in to 128.0.0.1 port nnnn ... will that work, or
does one need to port-forward (In his internet gateway router) port nnnn to his flightgear computer's lan IP address?
If so, how should his --multiplayer in be specified?
Is there a similar IP-to-IP that works for the pilot & copilot situation?
Is there a provision for pilot-copilot voice communication (I have not found it)?
Thanks, Gary
