I like flying long-hauls on P3D (connected to VATSIM) and using MSFS to fly with friends simultaneously. Can I do both at the same time? I’ve tried and it seems that I can not. When I load into MSFS multiplayer east or west server I do not see anything while on P3D. When I disconnect from P3D everything in MSFS goes back to normal and I can see others on all servers, as expected.
First, does anyone know what is happening (I was thinking both want to use the same SimConnect client or something like that)? Second, can it be fixed so that I can continue my flight in P3D/VATSIM and fly with friends in multiplayer in MSFS?
Here is the setup I would like to happen:
P3D
- P3D client
- VATSIM
- During long-haul and while stable, I disconnect the controls.
MSFS
- Multiplayer
- Controls enabled to fly along with friends.
- Not connected to VATSIM
I hope this is possible. Thanks for your help. I also realize this may be in the wrong category and I have no idea where it belongs.
If all else fails I will setup a virtual machine with P3D installed.
