After installing FC2, I now have 4 separate shortcuts on my desktop for both DCS+FC2. A-10C module isn't far away now, so after it arrives there will be 6 shortcuts that I have to use to switch between games.

 

I'm wondering if there is something planned about this shortcut traffic? Sort of an unified launcher?

Not as far as I can conclude by logic.

These are separate products - they will require separate shortcuts and installations folders, because the expected lifetime of the products may be quite different.

That doesn't mean someone can build a 3'rd party app aka DCS-max to launch them.

So we'll have to put up with 10 shortcuts on our desktops in near future? Uh, doesn't seem very logical to me. DCS series can at least be grouped up.

You can decide wether you want shortcuts on the desktop or not - thats quite common for many products (in the windows world).

In the startmenu it's grouped a bit differently.

 

Although I can uncerstand that many would wish for a common launcher builtin to the series - but I think 3'rd party would welcome the opportunity. ;)

I plan to have a folder on the desk top devoted to dcs and lockon shortcuts.

 

OK since my posts here seem to be invisible, I can say that I managed special folder on my Desktop as well. There are further seperated structures for games and in this case for DCS as well. That provides a better overlook about al the ED products...meanwhile 4 I guess...and further to come. So I recommend to create just a new folder and manage all your shortcuts and stop thinking about how to handle this --> last try <-- or try the lockon launcher.

10 shortcuts soon! Awesome that means 5 dcs products. Which ones coming after a10?

 

Soon means we'll have all these in th next month or two yes?!?

 

I'll put up with 10 shortcuts if I can have these 5 products :)

 

Try Fences I create one group fence for each sim/game.
