Ever noticed that you forgot to start CrewChief right after the green flag drops? Yeah, me too!

So I made this small application that just sits in the corner, waiting for you to start up the sim of your choice, and BOOM, just like magic it will start up CrewChief for you! And when you're done, it will close CrewChief.

I highly recommend that you enable the Run Immediately option in CrewChief (or this application will be pretty pointless)


Installation
Extract the archive wherever you want and run the .exe. Adding it to Windows startup isn't a bad idea either.

Config
Open the .xml file in any text editor. Here you can tell the application where you installed CrewChief and add more sims for the application to watch. I only added the ones I play but adding a new one should be pretty straight forward.
The node name does not matter.
To get the process name just fire up your sim and look for it in the task manager.
To get the parameter for your specific sim, you'll have to hunt down the author at www.http://thecrewchief.org/ and ask him, or find it out yourself by trial and error.

Very useful. Also works with LMU, just use this command:
<LeMansUltimate processName="Le Mans Ultimate" parameter="-game LMU" />

Works like a charm. Had to fiddle around a bit with the settings to get Le Mans Ultimate working but now it works it's great!!
brilliant, works perfectly
So helpful! Thank you
Still incredibly useful. Thanks too to @Fanapryde for reminding me about it after building a new PC..!
Works well with AC but did anyone managed to use it with Iracing ? What do ypur write in the XML in this case ? Thanks
Awesome!

Feature Request: If you decide to allow more than one <CCLocation> parameter supporting multiple apps to open and close at the same time (for example Crew Chief and Simhub) you are my personal hero!
Excellent!
This works great! Brilliant! :-D
I love you
This app is top draw, thank you
Holy Cow, how did I miss this app for two years. What a life saver...
This is such a handy app because not only does it automatically open and close crewchief it also changes the game which was probably the most annoying thing to do manually.
This was exactly what I was looking for! Thanks!!! Love the fact that I don't have to remember to start it up, ever. There's other "managing" programs out there, but you have to start them before you get in the sim. This does the opposite, which I find more helpful.

Would love to have an option to start up other applications, such as Trading Paints when you crank up iRacing.

Thanks again!
Brilliant little Mod!!
Does anyone have the parameters for PC2 please.
Very handy, thanks!
So usefull.Thany you very much.

Could you make the same for SLIMax Manager Pro please.
