Many thanks for your outstanding program, Maarten. Your dedication with releasing updates is also impressive.

 

This is an absolute must-have for any P3D user. Keep up the good work!

 

+1

Thanks for this fantastic program and for all the effort you are dedicating to it.

With this software I finally started using Prepar3D as my primary simulator.

FSX era is really setting now.

Hi Maarten

 

Just downloaded and installed Simlauncher. Tried to save Preferences setup. Received error message: Either f5.csv or g5.csv not found in Prepar3D folder. Cannot save preferences.

Hi again Maarten

 

Did not read install instructions.

 

Sorry

Quick question folks,

Is there "any" chance that installing the "Makerunways" would have/could have changed ILS Approach data in P3D?

Since installing, if I do an ILS flight, P3D will not capture the glide slope etc., even though frequency is correct and course is correct...based on P3d info?

I've flown ILS flights for years so I know how to do it??

Thanks so much and have a blessed one.

Is there "any" chance that installing the "Makerunways" would have/could have changed ILS Approach data in P3D?

 

Not a chance. It changes nothing, It simply extracts data and makes a set of data files for other programs to use. And it only runs when you run it. Else it just sits there.

It is a great service to P3D users and I would hope Lockheed Martin would just buy the rights from him and attach it to their next update

 

Would that then make it the Lockheed Maarten P3D simulator :huh: ?

I'll pay that one....

Would that then make it the Lockheed Maarten P3D simulator :huh: ?

 

LOL, Good one!

Marteen, a great big thank you. I came in at Ver 4.0 and have used exclusively for starting P3D every since. If it in no way upsets the greater scheme of things, please consider the default of "Show all variations" to be unchecked. Thanks and best wishes. Mac

Hi Mac,

 

It's Maarten, not Marteen. I implemented your requested change for the default of 'Show all variations' in version 4.9. I also made some other improvements, mainly for multi-monitor users.

 

thanks, Maarten

Very sorry Maarten, I knew that but my old fingers did not, and thank you for changing the default setting. Cheers, Mac

I assume this thread is about the free SimLauncher for P3D, big thanks,

Ok , just spotted options to setup the startup state of a/c systems, wow, great thanks for this,

 

i support all the charity organisations on your website, thanks agian

 

Dont see how LM could provide a better Sim launcher than this one.

 

Infact add an entry to this App to execute a batch file before/and /or after starting P3D.

 

That is the only function missing from the launcher.

 

It was supposed to replace FSX launcher, but even FSX launcher is inferior in functionality compared to this.

 

Great Job martin

 

cheers

Maarten: let me repeat those comments. It is a better launcher than the default in FSX, and frankly LM needs not other.

 

You have done the community proud, my friend, and i wish that I could salute you in your own language.

@Simmer2050: you can launch a batch file from SimLauncher, if you specify this batch file as startup program in the preferences; the flight will be sent as a command line parameter to this batch file ("-flt:name of flight.flt") and you can pick it up by referring to the first command line parameter (%1). You can then launch whatever you want from the batch file (see also chapter 2 in the readme of SimLauncher). I can highly recommend Autohotkey as an alternative to standard Windows batch files (http://l.autohotkey.net/), because it can do a lot more (e.g.: you can create a program with it called SimLauncher :smile: ).

 

@Ian: thanks in Dutch is: bedankt

 

thanks, Maarten

Bedankt, bedankt and bedankt.
