I want to fly in the same capsule as a friend and collaborate on controlling the vehicle. Inspired by these great two seater modules with incredibly functional interiors. Time can be sync'd between us for the duration of sharing a capsule.

I'm a pretty good coder and want to start hacking this in, but don't know where to start. Please suggest relevant files/classes etc and also dev workflows to reduce iteration times.

THANKS!

I can't see how real time collaboration is feasible but passing off control to a spectator should be easy enough. The pilot and co-pilot can hand off control to each other, as is done in real life.

The mod I linked lets you click on switches/buttons in the cockpit view, so my goal is that two people can do an entire mission collaboratively all from the two interior seats. One player can retain keyboard controls, that part doesn't matter, as long as we can both stay in the cockpit first-person view the whole time, ideally both with the ability to click on cockpit elements.
