1 Click Shut down stuff before launching AH
« on: July 08, 2004, 11:48:38 PM »
Aloha,
I have been using EndItAll2,which is not free anymore BTW, but I found an even cooler app Called FlightSim Start.
http://www.fs-gs.com/downloads.htm
It was written for FS2004 but works for AH, too.
    #1 Cool feature: will temporarily shut down any running services just like from Black Viper site but it will be back to normal on reboot.
    #2 Cool feature: will temporarily shut down all programs you don't want (EndItAll didn't completely shut down Norton)
   #3 Cool feature: will defrag memory
    #4 Cool feature: will launch AH
    #5Cool feature:  will launch additional apps prior to AH such as CH Control Manager, TrackIR, or Teamspeak,Roger Wilco,etc
    #6 Cool feature: restarts all services/progs that it shut down when you Quit AH and is back to the way it started.

Sounds great. I used it a lot back in Win 95/98 days. Be careful about shutting down firewalls etc though. I don't  really believe you are completely safe while playing only AH.

This app allows you to choose which services/programs you TEMPORARILY shut down.  I play from behind a router with a hardware firewall and I CHOOSE not to shut down my Sygate software firewall. I do choose to shut down Norton AV but I don't have to wory bout turning it back on cause it is automatic.:)

Thanks Guys,
I have been using it for only a week now but it works great.  I already disabled 20+ services using the Black Viper site, but I feel comfortable shutting down another 17 with this app plus 13 programs.  It is idiotproof because the changes are only temporary.  Have fun.

Which Island are you on Shadow?

I got FS Autostart. I don't quite understand it. Do you just select which processes you want to stop and restart, click "start" then go and play a game, any game? The readme file was a bit hazy. Do you have to attach to a game file?:confused:

Aloha,

Here's the little I know bout setting up this app.
 
1.Launch the app
 
2.Click on Services- I checked the box to show only running services.  As you move your cursor over various Services, an explanation/recommendation shows in the box to the right.  Click on a service you want to shut down under the action column and a drop down box pops up.  Choose "Stop and Restart".  Don't worry bout shutting down something critical because it is only temporary and will be back the way it was if you reboot.  Click Save.
 
3.Click on Programs and do the same as in 2.
 
4.Click on Configure.   Click the Browse button next to the top box and follow the tree to your AH folder ending with "aceshigh.exe" which is the icon used to launch AH.  I set delay before start other to 5 seconds, checked defrag memory box, and set "number of seconds to wait before..." to 3 seconds.  Click Save.
 
 
5.You are finished-click start to let it all happen.
 
Everything you chose will shut down and AH will launch.  You will be able to ALT TAB out but may not be able to do much depending on what you shut down.  If you quit AH, CTD or ALT F4; everything you shut down will restart and you will be back where you started.  There is a way to save profiles or launch with a command line so you can use this for more than one game, but I haven't figured it out , yet.  Maybe someone with more computer smarts than me can help that.
