Hey guys,

Is there a way to start mobiflight twice?
Once with the ability to "run" the config and once in pure edit mode without option to to run?
For instance by command line parameter?

It would be really helpful to edit partial configs and merge them automatically.

Btw. Will we see each other in Lelystad 2025?

Hi,
You can edit the config during run (even during flight). Isn't that appropriate for you?

Nope. Of course the basic creation I'm doing it the suggested standard way.
If you deal with shared configs for multiple aircraft it makes the management of the assignments aka "deleting merged stuff, merging multiple files again" workload-intense.

See https://github.com/MobiFlight/MobiFlight-Connector/issues/1691 or https://github.com/MobiFlight/MobiFlight-Connector/issues/1826 for details.

And sorry for creating a new topic. Can be merged if ya like.

Short answer is no. Only one instance of Mobiflight can run at any time.

#

If you keep one separate mcc file for each aircraft, Mobiflight can auto-load a previously linked file when the flight is started with that aircraft.

There is a project feature being discussed for future development.

Thanks Jamie,

I resolved it using one merging script and setting up my system to easily toggle between two loaded configs via hotkey.
So after making changes on a partial config, i just press a button and the merged config is rebuilt and loaded in MF. To open the detail config for futher changes I again just press a button to load it.

Simple and ok for me.
