    multiple sessions

    quick question.... i hope
    is it possible to have more than 1 session of mc x3 open at a time?
    does it cause any problems?
    i have opened another x3 session, and get a mc already running error pop up, continue, yes! another session opens, but is it stable?

    so you can work on many parts at a time. kinda like autocad etc under the windows drop down, where you can have multiple dwg's open a time.
    computer power and memory is very good, video card may be its letdown.

    thanks

    It is not recomended to have multiple sessions. I have done this as well and have been burned by it. save often or use auto save feature. from my experience
    when doing this if you loose one session they all shut down no getting where you left off.

    I have done it for years with no issues, but I know some have had issues.

    The warning is just that... a warning. If it crashes and you loose data, dont say we didn't warn you. I've run 2 at a time with no problems. I've been running X3 & X4 (beta) at the same time with no problems.

    But like Steve and Jay said, if it crashes you can loose both sessions and some people might have problems depending on hardware.
