SIMStarter NG - Most simmers are flying different aircraft in different scenarios and locations. The problem is, that each of these combinations needs another simulator configuration to get the best performance, reduce the probability of out of memory failure and show the scenery at its best. SIMstarter NG solves that problem, using profiles that set the simulator just as you want it.
SIMstarter NG has a "Flight Control Center" to create these profiles and configuration sets. Another benefit of NG is, that you stay in control of your configuration because SIMstarter NG handles your configuration (a copy of it). With every simulator start you will have a nice and clean simulator configuration. In addition almost any setting can be changed using a nice interface so you do not need to edit config files.NG also has a Livery Manager which allows you to import aircraft liveries by click. Or showing all your installed add-on Airports in Google Earth.
NG allows you to create profiles for your simulator with different settings. You can for example create a profile for VFR Flights in one region with a lot of eye candy and another for your IFR flights with less autogen, another scenery and so on. In addition, NG includes a lot of other helpful tools to manage your simulator configuration.
SIMstarter NG is the next generation of the older freeware tool SIMstarter. SIMstarter NG allows you to create 99.999 profiles for different scenarios, configurations, scenery settings, running different programs e.g. Each profile can be combined with each configuration set which makes NG much more flexible to use and much more comfortable. Nearly 90% of the old code of SIMstarter has been rewritten. SIMstarter was based on FSX and then expanded to FSX-SE and Prepar3D but it was never intended to work for different simulators. NG was developed to be compatible with FSX and Prepar3D.
