Ok, I've been playing sims for a while. Racing Sims, Flight Sims, Sub Sims, etc.  Inevitably I get tired of the hassle of launching the game, only to remember I forgot to start TrackIR or Download the right Profile to my HOTAS setup to have to exit the game and then start/load all that then relaunch the game.  It can sometimes take me 15 to 20 minutes to get everything up and running so I can actually play the game.  Some nights this means I only get to fly one mission.

I can and have written a .bat file to launch the programs, then start the game in the past, but it would be nice if I didn't have to write a separate .bat file for each game.  Does anyone know of a game launcher that lets you set up a one click start that will start/load all the right programs and profiles, then start the associated game?

A "bat" file with a menu to select the game you want to launch!  :-X
That's what I use!

Simple version!
If you want to launch several programs, try with the "call" line.

For 1946, you can check the Random Skies Launcher (Auto.bat)

Here I was hoping someone had written a program with an actual GUI that made setting up each game much easier.  Ah well.  Thanks anyway.

I don't feel the necessity of GUI.

How about placing each .bat files in Windows' Start menu ?
