About

FS Starter is a free master launcher for Microsoft Flight Simulator. Before every flight there's the same routine: SPAD.neXt, Little Navmap, Axis and Ohs, OBS, Discord, then the sim itself, then the one you forgot. FS Starter starts them all in the right order with one click and it can wait for specific applications to be ready before starting or letting you start the next one.

It looks and sounds like the overhead panel of an Airbus. You build up to nine sequences, pick today's, flick ENG 1 and watch your setup come to life. Stay in AUTO for a hands-off chain, or switch to SEMI to check each tool before the next one starts.

Key features 7

  • Nine launch sequences, each with its own title and colour tag
  • AUTO runs the whole chain on its own, SEMI stops after every program
  • Timed WAIT steps, from 5 seconds to 2 minutes, to let the sim load
  • 26 apps detected automatically: sims, Little Navmap, SPAD.neXt, vPilot, OBS and more
  • Drag any .exe or shortcut onto the Apps Editor to add it
  • Import and export your sequences as JSON files
  • Always on top, and shrinks to a 170 px strip
