It's been talked about in the past that we will be able to share control in the Tiger Moth, so that one player can train another
What i don't know is if there will be a toggle switch to transfer control between players, or there will be some algorithm to simulate linked control inputs.

Another idea for training would be both players having on the screen the same PoV - (both watching the world through the virtual eyes of the same pilot). By doing this, the instructor could see what the student is looking at and provide information.

- Check your speed. Keep it around 100 mph.

A control transfer toggle is the easiest to do.

That would be the idea for determining who controls the "virtual pilot" in this training mode.

Regarding adversities:

Or just get in another plane and really shoot him

As for shooting the plane, I believe the resources to schedule a failure would be more beneficial.

fiddle with the engine controls to simulate battle damage and so on (...) you could simulate engine failure

That was the idea behind the programmable failures I inquired about in the past. IMO, it would be very interesting to be able to generate a failure in an specific system and/or schedule it in the mission.
