• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Not sure if this has been discussed before but as I was digging for old MSFS SDK downloads via the website I came across the DevMode Launcher, this is from the sdk at https://docs.flightsimulator.com/html/Additional_Information/Tools/FS_DevMode_Launcher.htm

Unfortunately it only works with the version bought from the MS Store.

Code: 
[HEADING=1]FS DEVMODE LAUNCHER[/HEADING]
The launcher tool is a tool specifically created to provide the developer a faster launch of Microsoft Flight Simulator. This tool basically launches Microsoft Flight Simulator as normal, but forces the game to skip the intro logos and videos that would normally be displayed on load. Future versions of this tool will be targeted to provide more control/options to the user, to benefit from faster access to their Dev Mode environment.

 

To use this tool, simply call the fsdevmodelauncher.exe executable instead of the normal game shortcut or EXE. You can find this tool from the following SDK path:

<SDK ROOT>\Tools\bin\fsdevmodelauncher\
IMPORTANT: This tool currently only works for the version of the simulation bought from the MS Store. 

The tool itself can also be built using Visual Studio, as the source code is also supplied as part of the SDK. You can find the code from the following location:

<SDK ROOT>\Tools\fsdevmodelauncher\

Thanks for this tip.
Until now I was using a basic option :
C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /C start shell:AppsFolder\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App -FastLaunch
Click to expand...
 
It's just -fastlaunch option (which isn't very fast). I have a shortcut on my desktop for the Steam version:

Target: D:\Programs\Steam\steamapps\common\MicrosoftFlightSimulator\FlightSimulator.exe -FastLaunch
