There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

FSX/Prepar3D Sim Launcher 6.2
- Thread starter stovall
- Start date
Thanks, I did.
Did not care for it
I tried this program and the concept is good however, when I first launched it (and no one here mentioned this so I will for the benefit of others ergo hu)
that when you launch it for FSX it is looking for 3 files that I did not have in FSX: runways.xml, f5.csv and g5.csv - I did a complete search in all of my 1TB HD and to no
avail were they found alas the simlauncher refused to launch untill those files were in my FSX folder. So, I had my Ah Ha moment and noticed that I needed a progrem
i.e. MakeRwys.EXE Version 4.614, by Pete Dowson. That program produced those three files and the simlauncher was a happy camper. Then I configured the type
aircraft, location and weather and launched fsx thru this proggie and the FSX splash screen loads with the default fsx aircraft/location and the simlauncher wants approx
3 minutes to set things up. It's a nice concept but I can load Razorgame booster and in about 30 seconds, I can be flying in the plane at the airport and weather that I chose.
Sooo..., I took out those three files that this "make runways" program produced + the make-runways program it self. In other words, I hit the reset button to go back to my original status.
Thanks, but respectfully, no thanks.

I had reported some of the minor bugs to him last night, this morning, 5.6 is out and from what I can see, all those minor bugs fixed. Good man Maarten!:salute:
I have no problem with loadtimes. FSX Launcher loads in about 20 seconds for me, and I've got 198 aircraft entries according to Launcher lol.

Noticed that the load time is less for me with this version.
I have about 3 times as many aircraft, so it still takes a while. LOL.
(Just hate swapping them out to the storage 'hangar' anymore)
I just started the BF-108 with option for wings folded...it did! 
That means you can start out in your F-18 or A-7 or whatever with your wings folded. I asked Maarten about doing the same thing for aircraft exits, if it was even possible, so we will see. Would be really cool to start your aircraft with a door or canopy open. Maybe he could also have an option to start from the Spot view or such.

5.7 is out! :salute: Maarten fixed a few bugs, he added to the location listing on the front page so it also displays selected parking location...ie runway, gate, parking...etc. He added in preferences the ability to start the flight from a different view such as Spot, Tower..etc. He said this feature might have some issues for EZDOK users. I don't have EZDOK so I can't comment on that.
Cheers
