Batch-files for starting the Microsoft Flightsimulator MSFS 2020
In an own Windows-installation i use 2 batch-files for starting the flightsimulator automatically.
- fs-start-autostart.bat starts with the Windows-login and runs the second batch-file.
- fs-start-batch.bat runs the flightsimulator as well as other tools.
fs-start-autostart.bat
fs-start-autostart.bat may be copied into the user-autostart-directory
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup
and contains the freely choosable path and name of the second batch-file.
fs-start-batch.bat
fs-start-batch.bat is to be copied into the directory mentioned in fs-start-autostart.bat and may be started manually.
The script
- gives the possibility to abort
- starts other tools like LittleNavMap
- tools to meet MSFS-typical boot-problems (windows store, date/time-settings)
- the flightsimulator
- and asks after quitting MSFS, if a flightplan hast to be checked and tools have to be shut down.
The commands are commented in english and may be edited freely.
The request for repairing flightplan-data may be deactivated by changing the value of
SET /A CONTINUE_FLIGHTPLAN=1
into "0".
PHP (scriptlanguage)
The MSFS-2020-tools "sinkrate" and "continue-flightplan" are written in PHP.
"sinkrate" calls a local URL which may delivered by a local PHP-webserver-instance.
A PHP-download may (without an official installation if wanted) be extracted in a directory like c:\tools\php.
