Same PC Co-op

[MNOPYZ]

Hey there ^^

I used to play P3D with my bro all the time through LAN. I'd start the local server, and he'd join it.
Recently, my bro's PC overheated and broke down. Is there any way we can play P3D together on my one PC?

Thank you!

Nope. One PC isn't possible. Multiple PC playing with the same internet is still possible.

Thanks a lot for answering.
Is it not possible to do something like, run 2 instances at the same time, and control one of the instances with a Gamepad and the other with a Keyboard+Mouse? Or would there be a window focus problem...?

You could run two instance of the game but you will need both to be on focus which isn't possible.

Alright then, that answers everything, thank you very much!
I have a request though; Could you add an option in future versions for this? An on/off option of "Pause window when inactive". When off, it would listen for input even when the window is inactive.
I know this is possible because a bunch of games & programs have this on my PC. I can play Minecraft with my bro on the same PC by running 2 instances thanks to this option.

You could try a virtual machine although you will need a second mouse and keyboard for the vm so your friend can control it.
you will also need at least a high-end i5 or greater if you pursue this option.

I might not need a second Mouse & Keyboard; apparently P3D can be played using a Gamepad.
I'll weigh out my options. Thanks for your help!

PS;
I ran into this, ControlSend:

I'll try it out sooner or later and see where it takes me.
