General description S is a program which launches Microsoft Flight Simulator X, Microsoft Flight Simulator X SteamEdition or PREPARD v.x with pre-defined configuration profiles. Changes, based on those profiles, will be done to fsx.cfg/prepard.cfg or scenery.cfg. FSX and PREPARD can be used in parallel with S. To make it easier to read this document I just wrote fsx.cfg and scenery.cfg instead of prepard.cfg if you choose PREPARD. I wouldn t even run programs on my FSX/PD, whose function I cannot understand ("never touch a running system"). Therefore the exact program flow will be described in Chapter 6. A lot of other helpful tools to maintain your Simulator are implemented too Before you are using S please read the END USER LICENCE Agreement at LIZENZ.txt carefully.. Disclaimer S is free software and distributed in the hope that it will be useful, but WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY. You have no right to get support, software patches or updates. S is tested software but could remain software bugs which could cause data losses or other damage to your computer system. Use S to your own risk.. Donation S has been started as a Freeware project. It took a LOT of hours in testing, programming, graphic design e.g. and therefore we would appreciate if you could do a donation for this project (PayPal donations).. Note of thanks I would like to especially thank all Beta testers. Especially to Andrew Thornton (Developer) who made SceneryConfigEditor compatible to use with S. (http://sourceforge.net/projects/fs-sceditor/). You need v.. or higher Especially to Günter Steiner who has been essential for the improvements of version.x. Especially to Laurent Gomez who did the translation to French. Especially to Jürgen Beisler who did a lot of testing. Especially to Rainer (simmershome.de) who shared important information regarding PREPARD Many thanks for the project http://dotnetzip.codeplex.com/ for creating Ionic.Zip.dll Seite von
