Quick boot for developers

Is there a possibilty to only load my airplane project at an empty airport?

Waiting 5 minutes for boot at every small change is very time consuming.
Thanks

saved as bat file. This doesn’t work anymore?

I’m not sure why you would need to restart the sim in the first place. You can simply just rebuild the aircraft package in the sim (which will reload the aircraft), or use the devmode aircraft selector to reload the aircraft.

Hope that helps!

Does that bypass the usual sensitivity of the VFS to filesize vs. layout.json ? V. useful to know if so.

That I’m not sure. We’ve always (even going all the way back to the CJ4 mod days at the end of 2020) made sure the layout.json is updated with the correct files and sizes, as we ran into issues even way back then if we did not.

I don’t want to run the sim all the time but boot in seconds. Also I prefer to develop offline. X-Plane can do that.
