Starting Helios with commandline

[doveman]

I'm making a batchfile to setup all the apps I need loaded before DCS World but I can't get Helios to work.

 

If I launch it from it's icon it works fine but I'd like to launch it and autostart it with the correct profile. However, launching it from the commandline results in it giving "Error loading profile" when clicking start, irrespective of which profile I select.

 

The commandline I've been using is:

 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\SCSimulations\Helios\HeliosControlCenter.exe" -d "Helios" -t

 

I don't recall where I got this from or what the switches are supposed to do but if I change "Helios" to the full path to my profiles folder E:\Data\Main\My Documents\Helios\Profiles, it creates empty folders in there, which mirror the folders in the parent folder (Images, Panel Templates, etc) and if I try that path, E:\Data\Main\My Documents\Helios it just crashes on launching.

 

Does anyone know how, or if it's even possible, to launch Helios with a particular profile (or even the last one) auto-started?

Not possible to get a default profile to load at startup.

OK. How about just loading it from commandline and starting it by pressing the Start button, as this works if I launch with the shortcut but if I paste the same line into the commandline, pressing Start gives "Error loading profile". The line taken from the shortcut is

 

"C:\Program Files (x86)\SCSimulations\Helios\HeliosControlCenter.exe" -d "Helios"

 

Actually, maybe I can work round this by launching the shortcut from my batch like this instead

 

"E:\DCS\Helios Control Center.lnk"
