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!
