We are proud to introduce a new identity in the Microsoft Flight Simulator add-on world: gates.to.
We have been talking for some time about a new concept that is a significant step forward in the way you can fly with your PC. Now you can share your aircraft with your friends over the Internet or a local network!
This screenshot shows a 747 crew made up of the Piiot Flying (PF) sitting in Atlanta, the Pilot Non-flying (PNF) sitting in Sydney and an Instructor sitting in Rome.They are ALL flying the same 747 over the Internet!!
What is gates.to/fsnet and what can it do for you?
gates.to/fsnet is a platform which adds a series of features to Microsoft Flight Simulator that will revolutionize the way you fly.
The first feature, let's call it a ”module” from now on, is the ability to share aircraft over the Internet and/or a LAN. This means that you will be able to fly the big iron with a human co-pilot, who handles all the typical co-pilot tasks for you while you concentrate on your duties as Captain, or Pilot in Command. Furthermore, if you are an inexperienced Flight Simulator pilot, you will be able to have a human instructor telling you what to do next (in Flight Simulator of course - not in real time!)
To give you a better idea about the gates.to/fsnet platform concept have a look at the following diagram. Click on each item in the diagram for a short introduction on each topic.
