Description

SkyHub is a Windows launcher built for flight simulation pilots who want a faster, cleaner, and more reliable startup workflow.

 

Instead of opening every tool manually, SkyHub lets you configure your simulator and add-ons once, save presets, and launch everything in one click. It supports both parallel startup and sequential startup with custom delays, so you can control exactly how your ecosystem boots before each flight.

 

Whether you fly Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, X-Plane 11, or X-Plane 12, SkyHub helps you reduce setup time, avoid duplicate launches, and keep your preflight routine consistent.

 

Main Features

- One-click launch for simulator + utilities

- Add custom program paths

- Presets with editable program lists

- Sequential execution with drag-and-drop launch order

- Custom delay between launches

- Parallel launch mode

- Autodetect for executable paths

- Live running-state checks

- Duplicate-launch prevention

- Admin-permission handling with “Don’t ask again”

- Diagnostics/logs panel (copy logs, clear logs)

- Modern, clean, high-contrast professional UI

 

Why SkyHub

- Saves time before every flight

- Reduces startup errors and missed tools

- Keeps your launch process repeatable and organized

- Built specifically for flight sim workflows

 

Typical Compatible Ecosystem

- Simulators: MSFS 2020, MSFS 2024, X-Plane 11, X-Plane 12

- Common tools/add-ons: FSUIPC7, GSX Pro, Navigraph Simlink, xPilot, and many others

 

Note: Some programs may not be perfectly autodetected yet because I don’t have every add-on installed and couldn’t verify all setups. If you find any detection issues, please send feedback so compatibility can be improved quickly.

The selected file is not the expected executable: 'FlightSimulator.exe'. Please select the correct one, except I'm dragging the FlightSimulator2024.exe in the program box because I'm adding 2024 not 2020. Do you have a forum post anywhere to add bug reports to so I'm not cluttering the comments? Finding quite a few issues.

I see now where you have presets saved as a dropdown. Would be nice to have the presets shown as an Icon in the top mission launcher area of the app. Truly a one-click start for the sims.

Doesn't work for Air Manager. There is no Air Manager.exe, just the bootloader.exe to start it.
