Hi, I have never tried external FDM and MP at the same time nor have I heard about anyone trying it before. However, based on what I recall from looking in the code these are separate functions and it is odd that they should interfere with each other. > For the external FDM only, I start Flightgear with: > fgfs.exe --aircraft= Dragonfly --fdm=external > --native-fdm=socket,in,25,,25505,udp > (and I see the flight of the fdm packets I send on UDP port 25505) > > For multiplayer only, I start Flightgear with: > fgfs.exe --aircraft=Dragonfly --airport=KDTS --runway=14 --bpp=32 > --callsign=Biff --multiplay=in,10,biff,5000 > (and I see the flight of the MP packets I send on UDP port 5000 while the > internal fdm airplane sits at the end of the runway) I'd use --multiplay=in,10,,5000 here but since it works for you biff must resolve to the right interface IP address. With no IP specified fgfs will listen on all interfaces. > For both together, I start Flightgear with: > fgfs.exe --aircraft=Dragonfly --airport=KDTS --runway=14 --fdm=external > --bpp=32 --callsign=Biff --multiplay=in,10,biff,5000 > --native-fdm=socket,in,25,,25505,udp > (and I only see the flight of the fdm packets I send on UDP port 25505, but > the MP aircraft does not appear at all) > > In all three cases, I use the same program to send the UDP data to > Flightgear.

Can you double check that your program actually succeeds in sending both data streams? (So that e.g. both instances don't try to grab the same port for sending - not that they'd need to bind their sockets at all, though).
