Can Simlauncherx start FSX with a .bat file?

Featured Replies

Hiya

 

Just installed Simlauncherx and was wondering if it can start FSX using .bat file i am using to get around the vsync issue in window mode?

 

To confirm, i use fsx.bat instead of fsx.exe when starting FSX

 

The setup only shows a folder to find fsx.exe not actually point to a file

 

Thanks

 

Paul


Ignore me, just found it :-)

Hi Paul,

 

You might need to deselect '... accepts flight as command line parameter' in the profile settings if your .bat file does not accept command line parameters.

 

thanks, Maarten

Hiya Maarten

 

Thats spooky, I was just about to write about this issue!

 

So is there no way of getting simlauncher to start a flight rather than just going to the normal opening screen?

Would be a shame if not :-(

 

Thanks for your support

 

Paul

This is my .BAT file settings

 

@echo off
START "" "c:\FSX\FSX.exe"
net stop uxsms
net start uxsms

Hi Paul,

 

If you deselect "... accepts flight", SLX will wait up to 5 minutes for a SimConnect connection to become active (green light in the top right corner), and then sends the flight over to the simulator.

 

In your case, leave the "... accepts flight" setting selected and simply change your .bat file to:

 

@echo off
START "" "c:\FSX\FSX.exe" %1
net stop uxsms
net start uxsms
 
thanks, Maarten
