SimLauncher - Couple of questions...

Featured Replies

Using version 8.9, how do I direct SimLauncher to use Prepar3D Legacy Mode and not the regular version? I need Legacy for FSInn to work. 

 

Also, Most of my aircraft are not showing up correctly in SimLauncher - here's what I mean: All of my aircraft.cfg's are modified to only display the aircraft that I want to use (for example, a Carenado 172's cfg has all aircraft blocked out except the white/blue paint scheme, so that only that paint scheme shows up in the sim. Same goes for all aircraft - especially the airliners... take out all airline liveries except one or two that I actually use). So now, in SimLauncher, all I get are usually one aircraft that is one of the ones that I HAVE blocked out. For example, plain white schemes are ALWAYS blocked out in the cfg, but often those are the only ones that show up in the SimLauncher. Where this becomes a problem is that now Prepar3D is being told to use an aircraft that is not usable... so I have to limit myself to selecting from a very limited number of planes that actually are active in the sim, and have to end up changing planes anyway which eliminates the aircraft pre-selection feature of this program.

 

Lastly, it seems like my views are corrupted when loading SimLauncher flights... VC is selected as the startup view, but in the example of the Carenado 182, the view is zoomed way out, viewpoint is in the middle of the two front seats, and the 2D yoke is showing. 

 

Thanks for any help, guys!

You can create multiple profiles with Simlauncher.  I'm not home right now, but what I think I did was create a second profile, and select the dummy fsx.exe (the legacy one) as the executable in my "Legacy" profile, that way I can toggle back and forth between launching P3D or P3D legacy.  At the bottom of the launcher is where you can select between multiple profiles...

Got it... thanks! However, does anyone know whats going on with the aircraft? For now I am stuck choosing only a few aircraft then switching to the aircraft I actually want.
