How to run P3D and noble flight simulator on two PCs?

First of all, let’s understand two configure files of P3D.

1. SimConnect.xml is the config for server which should be located in C:\Users\your name\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\
2. SimConnect.cfg is the config for client which should be located in Documents(eg: C:\Users\your name\Documents) or in the same folder our software installed.

Note: If your version is Prepar3D v5, please replace the v4 to v5

If you want the P3D runs on one PC while the nobleflightsim software on another, just follow two simple steps below.

Create SimConnect.xml for P3D

SimConnect.xml tells P3D which port to listen to wait for clients. The content for SimConnect.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<SimBase.Document Type="SimConnect" version="1,0">
  <Descr>SimConnect Server Configuration</Descr>
  <Filename>SimConnect.xml</Filename>
  <Disabled>False</Disabled>
  <SimConnect.Comm>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Protocol>IPv4</Protocol>
    <Scope>global</Scope>
    <MaxClients>64</MaxClients>
    <Address>0.0.0.0</Address>
    <Port>54321</Port>
    <MaxRecvSize>4096</MaxRecvSize>
    <DisableNagle>False</DisableNagle>
  </SimConnect.Comm>
</SimBase.Document>

Create SimConnect.cfg for Noble flight simulator

SimConnect.cfg tells the client(noble flight simulator) which ip and port to connect. The content for SimConnect.cfg :

[SimConnect]
Protocol=IPv4
Address=xx.xx.xx.xx
Port=54321
MaxReceiveSize=4096
DisableNagle=0

Attention: replace the xx.xx.xx.xx to the IP of your PC running P3D. You can use ping command to make sure it’s reachable. Further, you can use telent xx.xx.xx.xx 54321 to test the port is connectable.

That’s it!
