Set Launch Options

Right-click on the game title under the Library in Steam and select Properties.
Under the General tab click the Set launch options... button. Enter the following : '-FastLaunch' (without the quotes)
Close the game's Properties window and launch the game.
Another option is to download the SDK, and to execute fsdevmodelauncher.exe (inside Tools/bin) each time you want to run the game.

For you that bought it through the Microsoft Store, it is a UWP app which means you have to launch it differently.

To skip the videos, do the following:

Right click on desktop and go to New > Shortcut and enter the following

cmd.exe /C start shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App "-FastLaunch"
Complete the shortcut wizard and you now have a shortcut to start the game and skip the videos!

Yes, it works really well.   👍  We just need to send it an automatic key press now to get through the 'press any key' stage.  

That way, I can just double click the icon and go and put the kettle on while it completely loads up!  😁

I like to trick airline passengers into thinking I have my own swimming pool in my back yard by painting a large blue rectangle on my patio.
