But I am going to ask anyway. I have the full Rugby Sim and fancy trying South and Central chained together. What do I need and What do I need to do to achieve this? I have 2 monitors, 2 PC's (if required) but not the know how...

Anyway give me some guidance on this please?

Thanks

Brian

Don't need anything special, two monitors and two PCs might be handy for you to see them both at once but is by no means necessary.

If you're chaining locally (on the same PC) then you can use 127.0.0.1 as the IP, otherwise you can use your internal IP (192.168.x.x / 10.x.x.x usually) between your two machines.

Easiest way is to chain the 2 sims on the one PC to avoid port forward issues.

1) Start sim A, and on the last start up page run in server mode, and port 50505;
2) Start sim B, again in server mode but should default to port 50507;
3) in sim B, go to Multiplayer>connect to external signalbox and select sim A as the external SB, IP=127.0.0.1, port=50505 and tick synchonise time and then 'Connect';
4) in sim A, accept the connection and Bob should be your uncle.

I can only help one person a day. Today's not your day. Tomorrow doesn't look too good either.
