SIMLAUNCHERX
============

SimLauncherX (or SLX for short) can be used as a launcher application for both FSX and Prepar3D (v1 and v2).
Flights can be loaded before launching the simulator or when the simulator is already running.
New flight files can be created by selecting one of the installed aircraft, selecting the start location (runway or parking position),
selecting the type of weather and the time of day.
You can also display and create flight plans and attach them to a flight as requested or active flight plan.

SimLauncherX was supposed to be a more modern version of my previous SimLauncher application that also supported Prepar3D v2.
Things got a little out of hand however and I added a lot of additional functionality:

- interactive map
- display, create and modify flight plans
- show .kml/.kmz files on the map
- radio stack
- instruments panel
- scenery.cfg editor
- dll/exe.xml editor
- process monitor
- ...

If you want to run SimLauncherX, here's the minimum set of requirements:

•    Processor: 2 GHz or more
•    RAM: 2 GB (4GB if the simulator is running on the same PC)
•    Graphics card: DirectX 10 support or later
•    Hard disk space:
            - SLX program files: 70 MB
            - database: 200 MB per simulator
            - optional high resolution MEF data: 1.8 GB
•    Windows 7 or later
•    .NET Framework 4.5 or later;
•    Internet connection

To install SimLauncherX, run the setup.exe program included in the SimLauncherX.zip file that you downloaded.

After you have installed SimLauncherX, the user guide can be found in the installation folder and can be opened from within SimLauncherX itself by clicking on the question mark icon at the top right of the main window. The user guide has become quite a long document, but I believe that most of the functionality is self-explanatory.

If you are like me and start using the software without looking at the user guide, that’s perfectly fine. Some features are however somewath hidden away, like e.g. the drag and drop features, the scenery.cfg editor or the timers in the radio stack, so that is where the user guide could be useful.

SimLauncherX has been tested extensively, but if you find any bugs or have a feature request, do not hesitate to contact me.

SimLauncherX is and will remain freeware for non-commercial use. SimLauncherX can be redistributed as long as the original SimLauncherX.zip file remains intact and as long as you give me some credit.
The full license text can be found in the license.txt document in the installation folder.

If you want to use SimLauncherX commercially, please contact me by e-mail.

If you find this application useful, I would very much appreciate a donation to cover the cost of the 3rd-party software I used. You can press the ‘Donate’ button in the backstage menu (left most tab on the ribbon)

ENJOY!!
