Hi,

I have a 747-8i flying in one window and in MP for the long haul test
Now I would need a second instance for another test. I have no idea what the default port for the first instance is, and can't bind a second adress. What would be the parameter to get the second instance into MP? There was something, but I can't find it anymore.

J.

And what does the parameter 10 mean in --multiplay? I really would like to know before I mindless copy ...

see $FG_ROOT/Docs/README.IO or just run fgfs --help --verbose

Feel free to improve the multiplayer article accordingly, but is generally not a good idea to tamper with that value unless you really understand what it is doing, and probably that entails running your own MP setup too.

Yeah, I saw that. And since my current problem of having an endless flight in one session ends in 35 hours anyway ... probably not worth the effort right now. And I found out, two sessions in SP eat down my FPS anyway too much. So, praying for good sales, buying better hardware, ... then play around with it.
