You just need to set the proper option in the multiplay commands. Here is what you need to run two FlightGear instances on your LAN: Instance 1 on box A: fgfs --multiplay=out,10,hostB,5501 --multiplay=in,10,,5501 Instance 2 on box B: fgfs --multiplay=out,10,hostA,5501 --multiplay=in,10,,5501 You could also send to your LAN segment's broadcast address, that way you can have more than two interconnected instances. No need for fgms in this setting.
