Unfortunately not. Upon launch of the exe, it checks if an instance is running, brings it to the foreground and shuts down. Additionally, the very first instance that is started dynamically compiles the controller templates to a temp-DLL. This DLL is stored in a fixed place (under your userprofile) and is locked when loaded, so it can not be removed until all running S3D windows shut down (as with any other DLL). This technique makes it impossible to launch a seperate instance, unless I had implemented a dynamic generated filename/path for this DLL. But these are choices made in the past, and it wouldn't be an issue anyway if I would have continued development as I can simply fix it by code. I will try to release one more S3D version with an altered controller engine that supports SH5 next to SH3/4, but it may take a while as I am very busy with RL projects...
