FC2 launcher ?

[bobd]

What file besides desktop icon launches FC2? Nothing I find in the folder works.

[Nate--IRL--]

Just the desktop icon, nothing else will load it.

But the desktop icon only invokes the following command:

 

"C:\games\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2\bin\x86\stable\Launcher.exe" --console

 

or

 

"C:\games\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2\bin\x86\stable\simulator.exe" --net gui

 

The former for single-player, the latter for multiplayer.

It also tells the program to start in "C:\Games\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2"

 

I suspect that it won't know where to find data files unless it's run 'from' that location

[bobd]

The reason I ask is so I can set up my controller profile, & point to the file starting FC2. Even pointing to the desktop icon won't work. I'd like to see what the cmd window says when starting the game, but don't know how to keep it open long enough.

Any help?

I am also trying to setup my Nvidia Profile and need to point to the game .exe to change my video card graphics settings. I am just using the sim for single player.

 

It seems to be the simulator.exe file, correct?

Try

"C:\games\LockOn Flaming Cliffs 2\bin\x86\stable\simulator.exe"

(as per above)

[bobd]

That doesn't work either

Yeap, that´s correct.

 

In order for the changes to affect the game, you need to apply the profile to simulator.exe

[topdog]

You'd probably want the profile applied to both launcher.exe and simulator.exe. The former for viewing and altering your key/controller assignments in the configuration, the latter for actually applying it whilst flying in game.

 

Otherwise it might seem a bit odd trying to configure the game based on the feedback delivered through the wrong profile, which then doesn't apply itself properly in-game, and vice versa.

[Distiler]

That doesn't work either

 

Simulator.exe works when you enter the cockpit. Launcher.exe works when you're in the UI.

[bobd]

I think I understand now. I applied simulator.exe to the profile. Then start it with desktop icon. It seems to work.

Thanks for your input.
