• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Autostarting executable in community-folder when starting MSFS

Hi!

I've just built some button/switch-boxes that's using Arduino and a C# SimConnect executable to interface to MSFS.
I wonder if anyone here knows how to build an "addon-folder" to drop into the community folder for auto-starting my interface executable during the load of MSFS?

I've got a GNS430 from realsimgear that uses this method, the interface executable is inside a folder(with manifest/layout jsons) in the community folder, which autostarts during the load of the sim. So far my googling has come up with nothing, and wonder if anyone here is familiar with the procedure?

FYI: EXE.xml is back

HI, This might be old news, but I've noticed that MSFS now supports EXE.xml, a mechanism to auto-load utilities that operate outside of the sim platform, in the same manner as EXE.xml does in P3D. I noticed this recently, when an update of the RealSimGear util for my GNS530 is now auto-started wi...

Thank you so much GaryGB, that's exactly what I was looking for (using slightly wrong keywords)!

I found my exe.xml here: \AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\exe.xml
Very easy to edit and add multiple startup programs.

It worked like a charm!

Many thx!
