Hello. I would like to ask: How do you chain a sim? I am attempting to chain on the same computer. I have read the manual but I still don't get it.

Chaining instructions are given here.

In short, you need to start both simulations as a server (see this page for details. Select a different port for each simulation- start one on 50505 and the other on 50507. Once both simulations are started, click Multiplay> Connect to external signalbox. Select the simulation you're connecting to, and enter its port. Since you're chaining to a simulation on the same computer, the ip address is 127.0.0.1, and you don't need to worry about port forwarding.

127.0.0.1.3 won't be the IP address, that's 5 parts and there should only be 4.
