Hi,

Starting the simulation involves many operations, it can become tedious, this is the case for me:
- Starting PCs,
- Conditional start of apps,
- Various settings, ...

I have fully automated all of this, I start the simulation by lowering a simple switch on the glareshield, and can follow the progress of the sequences
on the screen of one of the PCs, placed in the cockpit and which I use to display Littelnavmap .

But there is a problem, MSFS, whose interface does not respect Microsoft standards, and whose automation is really touchy: it involves automating 
the various clicks which allow you to arrive at the plane ready to fly. It is therefore necessary to recognize the screens which call for a mouse action,
and simulate mouse clicks in the right places, relying on the geometry of the various screens (positions, colors, etc.).

it works, except that with almost every update (it's a real addiction at Asobo), the geometry of the interface changes, which requires 
adapting the automation program, it becomes a hassle.

Hence my question: does anyone know the command line that allows you to automatically start MSFS (specifically specifying the flight plan)?
 it necessarily exists, I can't see the Asobo testers having to worry about all the phases of the startup dialog during each test...

Any ideas will be appreciated!

Michel

When you state MSFS are you referring to FSX or the newer MSFS 2020 Sim?

I am referring to MSFS 2020 : in my sim, I use P3Dv4 to fly the plane (A320), and MSFS 2020 to display 3 views, front, right and left (3 video projectors 1080x1920)
