Hey guys,

 

As i use air hauler a fair bit, i want to know how to program fsx to also automatically load the following:

 

Shade

Opus

Ai traffic

 

Is there a way to do this, because i think air hauler just points to the fsx.exe file. I hear a few people on the forums talking about a file or code to use to make it run all with one click but i dont know how to do this.

 

Also, it seems like you need to have shade load first, then fsx...is there a way to point air hauler there first?

 

Hope this makes sense, any help is much appreciated!

 

Thanks,

You can use either exe.xml in the fsx appdata folder, or fsuipc.ini. A quick search should give you the syntax.

Shade has a set and forget option that injects your desired settings once and forever without any need to run it again (unless you want to change things).... so that is easy. Check your manual for information regarding this.

 

Here is an example of a batch file I used for FS9. You can look it over to get an idea of how to make one of your own for FSX.

I recommend AlacrityPC from Ken Salter. His site seems to be down, but I did find it here:

I'm also trying to do this with FSUIPC (reg), but for some reason, I cant get OpusFSX to launch along with the others. Have fired off a help request to Pete at FSUIPC forum. We'll see what he says.....

Hi Phil,

 

OPUS FSX offers an option on install to have FSX automatically start it (uses exe.xml file entry). It sounds like you didn't check that option? I'm not sure how to enable it after installation, you could try the excellent support at the OPUS forum.

 

Thanks, Bruce.
