Is it a ghost?

So anyway,

I'm in the plane right? and here I am with Aerosofts FDC installed, and my co-pilot is shouting out the checklist responses. I go to an external view of my aircraft and there we are both of us in the flight crew sitting comfortably waiting for pushback.

We taxi to the active and prepare for takeoff. Wang those engines up to max and get ourselves off the ground. Look to my right to admire the sunset and AAAARRRRGGGHHHH - I have no co-pilot!!!!

So my question is was this an aparition or is there some kind of patch to fix this ghostly problem

Thankyou, your's a very freaked out.
