Software Configuration

This document describes how to configure the installed software so that all components work together and the most important basic settings are available. Please note that depending on the configuration of the simulator, other performance settings may also be useful.

Before you start make sure that your computers have an up-to-date Windows 11 installed, you have alle necessary software installed and you did all wiring of displays and USB connections. You will also need a stable internet connection. Ideally you have all computers be placed at its final position in the room, so you do not need to unplug cables any later again.

Please give the VISUAL PC and the AVIONICS PC a fixed IP address. These addresses are required so that the installed software components can communicate with each other efficiently.

If you are unfamiliar with DNS-settings please use 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. 

When you open the profiler, the existing panels should show a green "YES" and the profiler should run in "SDK Mode".

Stop the SDK mode and check the settings.

Select the appropriate settings for your configuration. Make sure that you have ticked all the panels and functionalities available in your setup.

Calibrate the T-gauge settings by carefully changing the values.

Select the appropriate settings for your configuration.

Select the appropriate settings for your configuration.

Select the appropriate settings for your configuration. Usually there is no need to change anything here.

In this step, ProSim A320 is configured. Please start ProSimA322-System for this.

Depending on your Windows environment, you may have to answer a firewall request.

Select the appropriate settings for your configuration. Usually there is no need to change anything here.

If you have a SimbriefID, you can enter it here. This is useful for importing flight plans created via Simbrief directly into the FMS.

Select the appropriate settings for your configuration. Make sure to tick the box "Directinput support for joysticks".

If you are using add-ons based on FSUIPC, you can tick the box for "FSUIPC support" here.

Enter the IP address of the computer on which the Skalarki Profiler is running and to which the hardware is connected below. This is usually the VISUAL-PC.

Select the appropriate settings for your configuration. Usually there is no need to change anything here.

Download the terrain database here and generate the scenery database depending on your favourite simulation software.

To connect ProSim with the simulation software (Prepar3D or MSFS2020), various add-ons must be installed.

• ProSim Prepar3D Module (P3d only)
• ProSimA322 Visual Model for P3D (P3D only)
• ProSimA322 Visual Model for MSFS2020 (MSFS2020 only)

Please install the latest version by downloading the installation programme and following the respective instructions of the installation programme.

The next step is to update ProSimA322 to the latest version.

On first start of each ProSimA320 Display module instance first enter the IP address of the VISUAL-PC in the configuration. Open ProSimA320 Display, by default a black screen is displayed.

Hit F12 to enter the display setup mode. The display setup mode is only used during configuration, not for normal operation. In display setup mode, a blue background colour is shown, when selecting F12 once more display background colour changes back to black.

You can change the position of the window using drag & drop. The size of the window can be adjusted using the mouse wheel.

To make configuration easier for you, we have shown the corresponding values from our system for the individual displays. You can enter the configuration file in the respective ProSimA322 display folder in the "config.xml" file.

Start the MCDU and place the program on the correct windows. Make sure you don't mix CPT and F/O side. Select the settings according to the screen below.

Use the font size settings as a recommendation.

The font sizes and font alignment can be adjusted via the "line select mode" so that the contents of the display match the buttons on the MCDU perfectly.

To start aligning the different lines open the line select mode (open ProSimA322-MCDU > right mouse click > line select mode).

The first line (LSKR1) should be lighted in a yellow square box. Align the line by using the following commands:

• Up and Down (computer keyboard entry “U” and “D”)
• Left and right (computer keyboard entry “L” and “R”)
• Wides and Shorten (computer keyboard entry “W” and “S”)

When the first line is configure select the next LSK to perform the configuration again, all until all lines are aligned correctly.

To make configuration easier for you, we have shown the corresponding values from our system for the MCDUs. You can enter the configuration file in the respective ProSimA322-MCDU folder in the "config.xml" file.

Start ProSimA322-Audio and call up the preferences. 

Enter the IP address of the VISUAL-PC.

The entries in the sound output depend heavily on your configuration. If in doubt, create a group and assign all sounds to this group.

On this page, you can assign all sounds to a group (if you have more than one). You can also define an individual volume for each sound. As a rule, this is not necessary.

Start the application and enter the IP address of the VISUAL-PC.

For advanced users: In the "Network" area, you can generate another client with which you can control the IOS. This is a particularly interesting option when using Apple devices.

The following section will guide you through the most important configuration settings of Prepar3D (P3D).

At startup please enable the ProSim-AR Prepar3D Module.

Select your favourite ProSim A320 and take-off location in the start menu.

Then save the scenario as standard.

The most important system settings are described below.

Please select settings based on this template.

No settings need to be adjusted on this page.

Deaktivieren Sie "Mute On Lost Focus".

As a rule, you do not need to change any settings here.

Please adjust the settings according to your requirements. In particular, check the settings under "Crash and damage" and "Engines".

The following settings depend heavily on the performance of your computer.

Please remove all key and axis assignments. This is important so that you do not inadvertently change settings in P3D by pressing a key.

Please deactivate "Enable Controller(s)".
