Start another app from within the FSUIPC7 bat file?

[danewatson]

Just curious - is it at all possible to start another app from within your FSUIPC7 batch file so that the app runs when MSFS24 starts loading?

You can do that but I wouldn't recommend it, especially if the app connects to MSFS or FSUIPC. The batch file will also be overwritten/replaced whenever you update FSUIPC7 as well, and you would lose any changes.

FSUIPC provides facilities to start other programs (registered/licensed version only) - you should use that. These facilities provide options to delay the start of the program until MSFS has started or until an aircraft is ready to fly, can also close or kill the program when MSFS exits, as well as other options. See the section Programs: facilities to load and run additional programs on page 44 of the Advanced User guide.
