Running X3 in a Virtual Machine/Preventing SETA from stopping.
Hey, I started playing X3 yesterday and I find the flighttimes pretty annoying.
I was wondering if I could just use X3 in a VM so I can tab out while the game keeps running.
Well I can, but when I leave X3 with anypossible hotkey, SETA shuts down. The game keeps runnning, but it takes the ship forever to get anywhere.
Any workaround for that?

Thats why im using a VM. The game doesnt take up much ressources and it runs pretty without problems so far. Only thing is the slow pace of my ship right now ;) So, any way to keep SENZA running?Sabuu wrote:I was wondering if I could just use X3 in a VM so I can tab out while the game keeps running.
Windowed mode + run in background + alt-tab
works for me, every time.

When I run the game in Windowed mode, the taskbar is layed upon the game it self, so I cant see the bottom of the game screen (where it shows your ship/target).Jack08 wrote:Windowed mode + run in background + alt-tab

How can I make the game run in the background?
sorry, what?!Jumee wrote:you need to have virtual bla-bla googles cause they are generally bound to alt so that allows you to minimize without cancelling seta
to make the game run in the background you need to select that in the options menu, the goggles thing is the equipment that allows you to zoom in in the game (its sold at most trading stations i think, and should be preinstalled at player ship by default)Sabuu wrote:When I run the game in Windowed mode, the taskbar is layed upon the game it self, so I cant see the bottom of the game screen (where it shows your ship/target).Jack08 wrote:Windowed mode + run in background + alt-tab

u could reduce the resolutation in windows mode so it fits in the screen without overlapping, or hide your task bar when runnign the game.
i play in fullscreen mode thou, and dont have any problems.
in game, if you go into the gameplay options, there is a setting to run in the background.
to keep SETA on, you need to make sure u hold down alt before pressing tab, and release tab before releasing alt.
most people try to press them simultanously which will disable SETA most of the time
