Is it possible to remove (or replace) that step like startup screen with “-FastLaunch”?
This is not a logical step because the game will be loading after this screen, you can’t basically open the game and let it load while you are in the kitchen making some food.
Why won’t you let the game load completely first before showing you that screen?
I have been browsing through official packages in “%appdata%\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\Official” and even tried to use “Folder find text” software to find that text but without success.
The only workaround I can think of is to code an autoclicker or macros but I don’t enjoy that kind of workarounds.
The second workaround is to reverse engineer the game which I’m sure is illegal and I am not going to do that.
The third logical fix is to show this screen when the game is 100% ready and loaded.
And there are other people who asked too. They also had the wrath of the grumpies. The feeling from them is, just push a key and get over it. But i’m with you. Why can’t we skip it.
From my understanding there is no way to skip it. There is a thread under wish list to remove it, i’ve included it here. Please Remove "Press Any Key to Start"
You can go and upvote it as the devs look in that section for the most requested fixes and/or features.
I agree, this is like similar to having a 12 click process to quit an application.
It would make sense if the loading was complete, but it is not.
Once the application is launched from the desktop (shortcut in my case) it would be nice if it loaded all the way to the menu - unless an update was needed.
No problem, anything on the wishlist page is upvoteable. Hopefully it gets the devs attention and gets the big issues the users have found sooner rather than later.
I like this idea a lot. It might not end up to be a huge time saver. Booting directly to the main screen in the sim with only a loading progress indicator would be very nice. The current way it boots does seem silly. How about just a good old progress indicator while we wait to see the main screen of the sim?
and then the boss, who is not a programmer, says to his staff, I’ll be out of the office for the rest of the day but lets not take a chance, drop this change to spot 205 and carry on with the more urgent change requests. …and that my friends is how we do it in the corporate business world.
