LacMenuLauncher Version 11 takes advantage of two new command-line enhancements first made available in LAC version 9.49, making it possible to configure the desired realm and mission starting point. Consequently, it is now possible to use the alternative, text-based menus of LacMenuLauncher to completely bypass LAC's legacy GUI menus.

Concurrently with release of this LacMenuLauncher11, we enhanced 54 little-used LAC web pages, each describing one of the 54 aircraft supported by LAC. We expect those 54 pages to get a lot more use now, because when LacMenuLauncher invokes the user's firefox web browser to display one of them from its "CHOOSE YOUR AIRCRAFT" menu, each enhanced page now shows a clear, rendered picture of the associated airplane alongside a tabular summary of its flight characteristics. YouTube documentary video clips about the illustrated airplane are also prominent. Prominent links on all 54 of those pages lead to "NEXT" and "PREVIOUS" airplanes among the 54 available.

Accordingly, it is now as easy and as enjoyable for LacMenuLauncher users to browse among all 54 of LAC's aircraft as it has heretofore been for those accessing LAC's legacy, "GUI" menus. It's almost like visiting a warbirds museum, studying the details of all of the planes, picking a favorite, and then hopping inside and taking it for a flight!
