SimLauncherX

Hi Im trying to launch it in Steam FSX but the only thing stopping me is the FSX.cfg It cant see the FSX-se.cfg and it Cant see the original FSX.cfg if I paste it in the same folder path C:\Users\bb\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX-SE cheers

Hi Maarten Just downloaded the latest version. The Victor Airways are working great, no more crashing. Well done. Regards John

Update January 2 2016 As you have probably noticed: SLX now includes the PFD and MFD. The status is still alpha because the functionality is not complete yet. Update January 6 2015 First of all: best wishes to all of you for 2015! Just to prove that I am still making progress on the G1000, here's two more screenshots: I have now finished ~70% of the PFD functionality (auto pilot and flight plan management are the major parts that are still missing) and ~10% of the MFD. thanks, Maarten ====================================== Dear SLX users, I'm getting along quite nicely with the G1000, but it will take a while before it's finished…

I'm trying to install Simlauncher with a green light go but a red light 'not connected' in sllxserver. IP Address is correct and I'm using the default port 1100. The client claims no access to fsx.exe in shared folder and won't work. I'm concerned that without a network guru I maybe up creek without a paddle and don't want to spend days to portage my PC canoe cross land to find that illusive new stream. Douglas I guess the closest alternative is FSXLive.com

Hi, Firstly let me say thank you Maarten for creating this amazing software. The original FSX GUI and launcher has been the bane of flight sim experience for last couple of years or so. Unfortunately though, I don't appear to be able to use it. I can load and fly the basic flight (Over Puget Sound) no worries, but as soon as I try to customize a flight FSX just won't start properly. Once I configure the custom flight and click the green "Fly" arrow the MFSX splash screen appears, and then the loading bar starts loading as it should. I should mention that it seems to load incredibly slow - maybe 3 or 4 times slower than when I load a flight from the standa…

My P3D v2.4 has its default flight set to "Default Flight KSEA.fxml" for the Seattle area. I then go to SLX and create a new flight "Yosemite1.fxml" (departing from the Mariposa-Yosemite Airport) and save it. P3D is not currently running. I then click the "Fly Now!" button. P3D will first load to the KSEA default flight (with all the Seattle terrain loading), and then immediately after that loading completes, SLX causes P3D to then load the Yosemite flight/terrain/etc (with that SLX message appearing at the top left of the P3D window). This does result in a longer P3D startup process. Is it possible for SLX to detect that P3D is not running, and if so, then simpl…

Prepar3D v2.4 offers the "Clear skies" weather theme, to clear all weather. But SimLauncherX apparently doesn't offer this theme--"Fair weather" is the closest to clear I can get from the launcher. Can "Clear skies" be added to SimLauncherX? Thanks, Andrew

Hey guys, can someone offer advice as to where Sim Launcher should be installed? I have OS on C: drive and FSX of E: drive. Thanks.

Hi Maarten, In the latest version of SimLauncherX I am not able to filter airports by runway length. In previous versions, there was a column for runway length in the airports section that is no longer there. If I filter length in the runway section, this does not filter airports in the map when I have the "Show only filtered airports" tab activated. Also, what is the Systems.Window .Control.TextBlock column header in the airports section for? Regards, Gerry

It's now out: http://library.avsim.net/download.php?DLID=187387 After many months of beta testing, bug-fixes and new features constantly being added, the awesome Maarten Boelens has released the new version of his freeware tool - SimLauncherX. This a complete game changer. No more default FSX/P3D2 interfaces! Just two cool features that pop to mind: - Automatically add Ezdok entries to your aircraft (lens flare enabled!). No more Estonia migration tool or Ezca CFG tool. - C&D ANY aircraft. Never again will you start a flight with your engine running... The list of features is LONG so just grab your copy asap and check it out! Edit by Maa…

Dear SLX users, I'm very busy at the moment answering all kinds off questions via e-mail. In between answering those e-mails (and my real life activities like doing my daytime job, eating, cooking, caring for my cats etc.) I also have to fix the bugs that have been reported so far. Many of you would like to see SLX work on a client computer with the simulator installed on a server. It is possible (I know a couple of you have it up and running). It's just a matter of getting the shares on the server (+ access rights) and the drive mappings on the client.setup correctly. There is one issue however: the startup program doesn't work from the client and I'm working on …

Hi Maarten I just discovered this forum. Is there any way of editing the way the map shows airports? I am going to download the FTX freeware airport maps and I was wondering if you could filter the map display to just show the Orbx airports. Also, is it possible to change the zoom level when airport icons kick in on the map? Many thanks once again John

I can't see the thumbnail when I choose an aircraft?

I am using Prepar3D 2.4 and everything in SimLauncherX is working fine except flight plan loading. No matter what I do the flight plan doesn't load into P3D. I drag the plan onto the flight in SLX and the checkmark appears next to the "requested flight plan". When I go to contact clearance in P3D the flight plan is not loaded so there is not an option to start my IFR flight. Instead I have to manually load the fligh plan using the menu in P3D. Any reason why this isn't working for me? Brandon

Hi Maarten. I am getting an error on exiting the program https://www.dropbox.com/s/vk4zccsi8u4ksis/Capture.JPG?dl=0 I have updated to the latest version but it was happening before then. Cheers Pete

Hey Maarten, I know you'r working hard on some networks issues. I'm running SLX on Client and have no problem with it, only the airspeed indicator on the instruments tab is the one I havent figured out.. this is what i get, maybe I missed something. Car 1900D Mini SLX Instruments and FreeFD on client.. Thanks

This is looking like a surpurb piece of software. Trouble is, I'm having problems networking it. Had quite a bit of correspondence and testing with Maarten, but we've not been able to sort it, so he suggested I come here too. All my sharing and permissions are definitely correct, as Maarten verrified, but SLX is only loading the 'Flight' files it finds, but NOT any of the 'Flight Plans' from the very same folder. Nor does it 'connect' to FSX on the server PC. Any help from here much appreciated Win7 x64 FSX on server Win7 x32 on client

I've got a question to the startup screen of P3Dv2 when using SLX. Normaly I use this start screen when launching P3Dv2. On my tests with SLX I have experienced the following problem: I did not choose a specific aircraft, airport, weather or time within SLX. I only wanted to start P3Dv2 from SLX. But it seems like SLX removes the native P3Dv2 startup screen when starting P3Dv2 from SLX. If I start P3Dv2 without SLX the startup screen comes back. Up to now I haven't changed very much of the settings in SLX. So is it possible to use the P3Dv2 startup screen when starting the sim from SLX? Or did I miss something? Patric

Hi Maarten, Any update on networking. I can connect to p3d .4. But batch does not work which works fine when launch from the server. Can't launch FTX also. Everything works great on the server but I have a low end systems so I can't leave Simlauncher open. Thanks for your great program.

So there is no support for OPUS so Im curious as to where is the weather being drawn from when I set the winds and temps etc in the overlay section as its all showing up over my map ( opus user)

Hi, would it be possible to minimize SimLauncherX during Database Building/Rebuilding? It takes quite some time and prevents doing some useful work in between. At present this seems to be impossible. Thanks and kind regards, Michael

Hello, I'm just testing SimLauncherX in combination with P3Dv2, and I think I've found a problem when editing the scenery.cfg of P3Dv2 in SimLauncherX. I have changed my scenery.cfg (deactivated an area) by using SimLauncherX. Then I started P3Dv2, everything looked fine. But I have got an error if I want to open the scenery library within P3Dv2. The simulator wasn't able to read all areas of the scenery.cfg. So I've compared the original P3Dv2 and the SLX-modified scenery.cfg. Here is an entry of the original P3Dv2-scenery.cfg: [Area.001] Title=Default Terrain Texture_ID=1 Local=Scenery\World Layer=1 Active=TRUE Required=TRUE And now the same entry a…

Hi, next point: Zooming though the map is super qiock - as long as the simualtor is not running. Having the Simulator connected can bring the program to a crawl or even halt it for some time while zooming. I observed this on the Server as well as on the Client. I have several other Moving Maps (Apollo Airmap, Plan G) which are slow in zooming, too, it may just be related to slow loading of maps via the Internet (over sub-optimum Connection, to be honest). On the other Hand, EFASS is much quicker in zooming, thus there might be some hope. Related: I observe sluggy updating of the airplane symbol position, but this only oin the Client, while it's following quick…

Looks interesting, but I can't get it to work. I think I have it installed, but when it goes to 'Loading FSX Database', 'Processing 201 scenery layers' it gets to 54% and stops. Thinking that with Orbx I have some large scenery files, I left it on overnight, no change. Reboot, reopen and I get "Error loading database" I have tried this with both the supplied download version and the updated one, this program will not run.
