For those who remember, FSLaunch started as faster way to connect to VATSIM.However, from version 1.3 the program is useful even without multiplayer, you can launch Flight Simulator, skipping the create flight dialog with the settings you specify.The only complicated step that remains is having to create gates file for every airport. But afterwards, you can use the new features such as Gauges On Demand (which move the gauges your current airplane is not using) and Aircraft On Demand (Disable all aircraft other then yours).This allows you to have many aircraft, without effect on loading times.Also, you can start your airplane with engines off or cold and dark. This works with any airplane.Like the previous versions, you can also have the program connect you to VATSIM automatically.To see what it looks like:http://www.centralgaming.net/FSLaunch.jpgAnd to try out the program:If you do not have .NET Framework 1.1:http://msdn.microsoft.com/netframework/tec...et/default.aspxIf you have .NET Framework 1.1, just download away:http://www.centralgaming.net/FSLaunch13.zipThe program is not final (it worked fine for me), please report any bugs you find. Such as required gauges being moved, crashes etc.

I just tried this tonight Moshe, and every time I try to close the program, I get the error window with the following in it:

Wow, talk about replying to old threads.This is a bug, but for a work around if you don't use Gauges On Demand (which will create the folder), just create a folder FSLaunch under C:Program FilesMicrosoft GamesFlight Simulator 9gauges

I won't use ANY package that relies on Microsofts .NET installer. Any alternatives?Allcott

What's the diffrence? just because other .dll's come with windows they are better then those made only for programs who need them?But this thread is 3 months old, there was no interest in this program so I am only using it myself and no longer bothering to release updates.

>I won't use ANY package that relies on Microsofts .NET>installer. Any alternatives?>>AllcottYou talking about the .net framework?then I guess you're not using EditVoicePack, which absolutely DOES require it.Moshe, it's a shame you're not developing it more, I like the concept, but could never get it to work to connect properly. I kept getting the error (after I figured out adding the folder fixed my initial problem) about not being able to find a window titled something-or-other..had something to do with the SB multiplayer dialogue. It's a GREAT concept though, one I would use if I could get the blasted thing to connect!

I sent you a private message with my contact information, send me a message and i'll try to find the problem.
