    I’ve been a keen user of Simtool for the past 3 months and am over the moon with what level of realism I’ve been able to achieve in a variety of simulation games (iRacing, Dirt Rally, Assetto Corse, FSX and X-Plane 10).
    :)

    The one thing I have not come across yet is a Games Launcher i.e. somewhere within the SimTools environment from where games can be launched (Something similar to what SimExperience does).

    Is there a feature like this that I have not come across yet or is this something someone could look into developing.

    Eagerly awaiting your views and ideas.

    Regards

    Will

    SimTools does not require anything like this.
    SimTools realizes that the game has been launched and does its thing.
    There is no reason to have to launch the games from inside SimTools, like other programs.
    My thought was "why force people to learn a new way to do things" as in, let them launch the games how they always have.

    i wouldn't of thought that would work anyway. some games require you to launch from steam to select the mode as in normal or VR mode
