DOes X-Plane 12 play well with other sims..?

Featured Replies

If you have X-Plane 12 installed along with MSFS 2020 and DCS, without issues, I would appreciate a thumbs up.

I am building out a new machine and would appreciate some guidance.

Many thanks..

X-Plane is unlike other software, in that it does not write to the Windows registry, or to the system folders, whatsoever.  It runs out of its own folder.  You will have no issues running it alongside other flight sims.

Perfect, thanks..

For years I've been flying all 3 (plus another couple).

All have been remarkably trouble free, and when I do occasionally run into problems, they're the same as being reported by many other users of the respective sim. More importantly: using the common troubleshooting methods for each respective sim suffice to solve the issue (the number one of which is the same in ALL the sims: it's usually an addon!!!).

In short: I haven't encountered anything to indicate that the various sims conflict with each other.

It's difficult....

Usually after running the last version of XP12, which I test from time to time, I completely lose the will to play the other sims, P3D being an exception when used for the FSLabs line of buses, but Toliss is getting really really close, and actually above in some aspects...
