I'm still trying to figure out how to run two instances of the program at the same time on a dual core CPU.

Anyone have any ideas?

I don;t think it makes a difference if u have more than 1 core. According to the website you must install to 2 different directories.

1. Yes, you can. Additional processors must run the console version (with the "-local" command-line argument if run on Windows).

2. Make additional directories for each processor and copy the FAH Console executable file into each.

3. Configure them with the -config switch, filling in settings for each.

4. It is very important to make sure that under the "Advanced Settings" option each copy is given a unique machine ID (from 1 to 8). The first copy will default to a machine ID of 1, so additional copies should be given IDs of 2, 3, 4, etc.

5. Each may then be run out of their installed directory, using the -local switch on windows.

c:\program files\F@H1\FAH504-Console.exe -svcstart -local

c:\program files\F@H2\FAH504-Console.exe -svcstart -local
