I post this here with the kind permission of Mathijs, who in his business man chest still carries a warm heart for the hobbyist flightsimmer. :D

Thanks, Mathijs, you're the best.

Maarten Boelens has developed a free (donationware) tool for FSX and P3D that no-one should miss: Simlauncher X. A complete new version has been released this week.

It has a dazzling number of features, I will name a few:

- Launcher function for flights in both FSX and P3D

- All settings in the flight file can be edited and saved before you start your sim

- Interactive moving map view, using OSM or other maps

- Installed Airports from various developers (like Aerosoft, Orbx and others) are shown in different colours on the map

- KMZ and KML files overlays (Google earth format) are shown on the map

- Weather overlays on the moving map!

- Switching between Orbx FTX regions, and showing the active region.

- Display, create and modify flight plans

- Working radio stack and autopilot (using the default FSX/P3D AP)

- Instruments panel for both flight settings and running simulator

- Editor for scenery.cfg,dll/exe.xml, EzDOK, FSUIPC, etc.

- Process monitor (FSP, VAS, graphs)

- Adding/modifying EZDok camera's to aircraft

- creating different profiles for easy switch between preferred settings

- Set LOD_RADIUS and TEXTURE_MAX_LOAD in profile

- Launch other programs before or after launching the simulator

- Simlauncher works through Simconnect

- to much to mention...

I had the honour to be a beta tester for this incredible program, and I can honestly say I have never seen such a powerful add-on tool for FSX/P3D in my life.

And I should mention as well the dedication of Maarten to give top notch support!

It comes with a comprehensive manual, Do yourself a favour and read it so you will not miss the many gems that Simlauncher X contains.

The download links don't work for me. Looks as if the file has been removed, Anybody knowing what has happened?

UPDATE: File was apparently put somewhere else on AVSIM. Found it now.

there are no links working..... anyone can post a working link?

I have edited the link in the opening post. For me that link works.

But you need to be signed in at the Avsim library.
