Multiplayer (Dual seater) in Paid Campaigns

[Skyron]

Hey all, 

It is very sad that, me and my friends cannot play together as Pilot and WSO (or RIO) in dual seated modules - paid campaigns like the ones with the F14 - AH64 - Mi24 - Mosquito. Also F4E+F15E campaigns are coming.

How come and this is not implemented? If we both have bought the campaign, then what is the problem playing it together?
That would significantly raise the sales of multiplayer campaigns and dual seater modules too. 

Thanks

There are no paid multiplayer campaigns, all of them are for single player only.

Just host the Missions in Multiplayer. Of Course there could be Issues. Actions that have to be triggered with spacebar f.e., have to be done by the host.

 

Oh, and both have to own the campaign.

I have tried that in the past in one or two missions, and never worked...  (We both own the campaign)

Sorry, I tought you meant that there were paid MP campaigns. My opinion is that the copy protection of paid campaigns is not compatible with multiplayer.

You can try this tool, I managed to play a Tomcat campaign with a friend in multiplayer that way. Since it has been a while I can't tell if it still works though.

Since there are some difference in how the client slots are managed in a multiplayer session rather than the player slot in single player mission, both for scripts and triggers.
Design a good campaigns it's already a challenging task, and require lot of effort to develop, testing, and even maintain the mission itself works trough all DCS update. Make it available for co-op/multiplayer it will require double the efforts and there is no way actually to prevent a person that doesn't have the relative campaigns to join a server that host a missions, so it means it can be abused
