On the same PC? I've not tried to do that, so give me a few minutes....

Cavaet - I don't have two simulators on my PC so this post contains much speculation.Now, Dutch can chime in with warnings to not try this - or to make other adjustments - but in my few moments of experimenting I think I've noticed this: I believe that you can make a secondary FSCaptain install on the same PC. (I installed to my Desktop. ) Once you do, copy your profile.cfg file from your "primary" installation into your secondary installation, copy your airline's cfg and schedule (and other files) then change your secondary profile.cfg' LOGROOT and possibly BACKUP paths to point to your primary Log and Backup paths. So if you start with FSCaptain installed to F:\FSX\ and you install P3D to P:\P3D\ then you would want to change your P3D's profile.cfg lines to these: LOGROOT=F:\FSX\FSCaptain\Data\ BACKUP=F:\FSX\FSCaptain\Backup\That should allow you to run your P3D FSCaptain and have it write data to your FSX logs. Always back up your files before you commit to a major "test."

Yes, that's correct. The ability to "share" the data and backup folders was to allow a career to be shared between FS9 and FSX, but it should work exactly the same for P3D and FSX.

I installed P3D to E:\P3D. I installed FSX to C:\FSX, Before any attempt to change P3D' profile.cfg lines, FSC installation is immediately overwriting all P3D FSC files. Only way to recover P3D FSC files I have to initiate "Restore Previous Version".
Follow-up: I installed FCOM manually to 777X in FSX and FCOM is working ( I will make a test fly to verify)., but FSC Administrator files remains with P3D. I made change as below , but received warning as "You cannot change destination" LOGROOT=F:\FSX\FSCaptain\Data\ BACKUP=F:\FSX\FSCaptain\Backup\
Only option at this time Uninstall FSC and reinstall only to FSX to verify if FCOM is working accordingly.

That's great to know. Would you be interested enough (or bored ) one day to run LINDA and to see what the LVars look like on this aircraft?
