FSX/Prepar3D Sim Launcher 5.3

Appreciate what was formally a convenient little app to serve a needed purpose, I now feel the program has become somewhat "bloated", with so many checkboxes, options, settings, the constant updates, and adding every request from simmers. Now with the addition of a 3rd party payware (Orbx) selections? I'm not sure how Orbx will take to this - but I am sure they have talked with Orbx to get the a-ok, But what's next - settings for the NGX?

I am actually finding I am using the product less. Just a little constructive criticism.
 
I can't help but chuckle after reading the different posts. If I was Maarten, I would either be rolling my eyes or banging my head against a wall. This proves the old adage; You can never make everyone happy, but you can sure piss them all off. ( I added the second part :) )

For what it's worth, I downloaded the program, after reading about it here, and like it. So, Maarten, if you are reading this thread, thanks for the program and your willingness to catch hell from a bunch of loveable, well meaning but never satisfied curmudgeons. That will be us, simmers.
 
I think the program is great, but I do have one little problem. I use REX for Prepar3D, is there any way that the two can be launched simultaneously?

Regards,
Ian.

Hehe yeah you know its true, tho I think if you visit the PMDG forums, you will see a lot of folks who are never satisfied. Capt. Randazzo posts a development update, then over the course of a week or so, that development update turns in to a thread that is as long as our FSX Screenshots thread of people over analyizing thing that Capt. Randazzo said. "...The First Officer's cup holder is the wrong color!!' "Those are supposed to be philips screws holding up the tissue dispenser in the aft lav!";):icon_lol: Can't blame them for not wanting to post development updates or release schedules.

Like you say, you can never please everybody LOL. Thank you Maarten for creating this wonderful utility.

Ian with REX I would assume you would just start them seperately. Have Launcher start P3D/FSX, then while it is loading, fire up REX weather. I haven't used REX other in a while other than for sky/water textures, and use Opus weather now, which can be set to be all automatic.

Hey thanks a million! I downloaded it. Still can't find P3D? Yet, P3D runs. I don't understand how they can't find it and it run just fine? Maybe I need to re-install. It is on it own SSD drive, all by itself.

I have the same issue. I have makerunways which works just fine.
 
Sussed it!!

Runways was set up as a CSV due to the version of Office that I am using. Solution. Save Runways.csv as runways.xml
 
I am loving it. I did not like going into Virginia every time, nor clicking on the FLT files. I liked the original basic launcher, but it was so basic. This is one nice launcher here. Nicely done, Maarten.

:medals: :applause:

Ys thanks, that seems to have done the trick, you just have to launch the Sim Launcher first.
