About

Want to see a splash screen after you start Microsoft Flight Simulator? Tired of staring at the same intros over and over again wasting your time? I felt the same and now that the "press any key to continue" screen has been removed, I've created version 2 of FSJumpStarter2020.

🔥 Fire and forget!
👉 No installation required
👉 Automatically focuses the game window
👉 Works on single and multi-monitor setup
👉 Shows a Flight Simulator splash screen
✔️ Compatible with Steam and Microsoft Store version

Instructions

1. Download the latest FSJumpStarter2020 release and place it on your desktop.
2. Double click to start Microsoft Flight Simulator.
3. That's it. Enjoy!

Note: FSJumpStarter2020 automatically detects if you've installed the Steam or Microsoft Store version of Flight Simulator. Also a splash screen is shown until Flight Simulator starts so you know the app is working. Make sure .NET Framework 4.7.2 or higher is installed as it's required to run FSJumpStarter2020.

fsjumpstarter2020's Issues

[Request] Disable always on top

The splash screen takes up a decent portion of the screen and is always on top of the screen, making people with one monitor unable to see other apps until it goes away. It gets really annoying, and therefore I would like for the splash screen to not be always on top.

FsJumpStarter2020 dont detect xbox MSFS

When I launch FsJumpStarter2020 steam auto opens and tries to force me install flight simulator, but I already have it installed on xbox app and the game never launches.

[Request] Don't keep splash window on top

Hello!
I have a small request for this app. I usually start MSFS and browse the web or watch a video while it loads, right now the splash window is always on top and covers a large portion of the screen including the browser window.
I believe it would be nice to know that MSFS is loading (by seeing the splash screen and the taskbar icon) and then click outside the splash screen to move it to the background.

Is it something you could consider doing?

Thanks for the great app!

After World Update 3, starting the game with JumpStarter freezes the game

The game seems to load fine, but once in the main menu it keeps acting like the space bar is being hit (in the map moad the Load/Save map dialog appears and reappears persistently). Eventually the game freezes and I have to kill it through task manager. The default launch shortcut from Steam works perfectly, albeit with the loader videos/screens.

Thanks!
