Running Flexsim on a Virtual machine

[Kenny Macleod]

Is it possible to get full funtionality on VM yet?

Previous posts have mentioned USB-based licencing issues (obviously resolved now) and graphics issues.

I have an Organisation that mostly operates in a Virtual environment.

Thanks, Kenny

Hey Kenny,
I'm not an expert, but as far as I know there is no VM out there which supports the virtualization of a fully functional graphics card. So you won't be able to access the hardware acceleration features of your graphics card (like the real graphics processor which is needed to render the 3D model in realtiem).
You might be able to run Flexsim in compatibility mode which will leave you with bad performance and looks, but I guess that's it.

Best, Jens

Flexsim will run under a VM but as above may be a bit slower running with graphics on. Running with screens off is OK. Not tried developing in one just running models.
