CropDuster X multiplayer operations
CropDuster X includes a complete multiplayer solution.
Users can choose between using the multiplayer depiction built right into CropDuster X or integrating only the field and drop simulation into an existing networked setup (direct sim-to-sim or using middleware like FSHost).
The multiplayer feature needs no additional software to work, every CropDuster X installation can be used as either Server or Client process. As it runs in parallel to existing solutions, it can connect simulators of different types, as long as they are ESP (= FSX and P3D) based. It handles a theoretically unlimited number of players, and if you look closely, you can even see the movement of the other players' control surfaces. If the players exchange their respective airplane models beforehand, the CropDuster X will automatically choose the correct model for depicting the other users' aircraft.
! No additional software was used or is necessary - CropDuster X has the multiplayer functionality built in!
