Not 100% sure if this should be in main forum, but since it's at least related to hardware I'll start here.

 

I want to swap between 2 versions of fsx.cfg, so I can use different controller setups (e.g. different rudder sensitivities/trim setups).

 

I have 2 .cfg files in my FSX folder, and each references a different control.xml file.

 

But I use FPS Limiter, with a batch file like this:

 

"start D:"\FSX\FPS_Limiter_0.2\"FPS_Limiter.exe /r:D3D9 /f:30 /x:OFF /l:OFF "D:\FSX\fsx.exe

net stop uxsms

net start uxsms"

 

Which works fine, until I want to add the /CFG: switch to the fsx.exe call.

 

I have tried this:

"start D:"\FSX\FPS_Limiter_0.2\"FPS_Limiter.exe /r:D3D9 /f:30 /x:OFF /l:OFF "D:\FSX\fsx.exe /CFG:fsxngx.cfg

net stop uxsms

net start uxsms"

 

but no luck - FSX won't start.

 

If I remove the " before D:, FSX will start but continues to pull in the default .cfg file from my Documents folder i.e. it ignores the /CFG:name switch.

 

It might be that I just can't do all that I want to do with this batch file - anyone have any ideas?

 

I know I could use reg'd FSUIPC to set up multiple controller assignments but I'd prefer not to (I don't have it, I don't use any other function, and I understand there are NGX issues with it, and I have spent an age setting up my X52 profiles and don't want to start again.)

 

I suspect this is something to do with the .bat syntax, but it's beyond me.

 

Thanks.

I have solved the problem. In case it's of any interest:

 

No need at all to be as complex as this.

 

I just created one Standard.xml file for each controller config I wanted. E.g. StandardNGX.xml/StandardLancair.xml.

 

I then wrote a 5 line batch file to prompt the user to choose a config, and I just copy the relevant xml file over the Standard.xml.

 

Sorted. I can now run the limiter without worrying about switches to different FSX.cfg files - and indeed, it seems to me that messing with FSX.cfg is wholly unecessary, if you can just change the Standard.xml.
