Software Installation

This document describes how to set-up a software environment for your VIER IM POTT A320 cockpit using Prepar3D or MSFS2020 and ProSimA320.

Before you start make sure that your computers have an up-to-date Windows 11 installed and you did all necessary wiring of displays and USB connections (see according instructions). 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.

Firstly, we do the basic software installation. Then we configure all software components.

Configure display positions according to the screen below. Note that if you want to add a separate maintenance display please do it now (or never). An additional display may mix your display settings.

Steps

• Display 4, 2, 3, 5 and 6 are for the displays.
• Display 1 is the maintenance display.
• Make display 1 your main display.
• Move taskbar to display 1.

Configure display positions according to the screen below. Note that if you want to add a separate maintenance display please do it now (or never). An additional display may mix your display settings.

Steps

• Display 1, 2 and 3 are for the projectors
• Display 4 is the maintenance display.
• Make display 4 your main display.
• Move taskbar to display 4.

Download the latest version and install it.

SimConnect is an interface between third party applications and Prepar3D. It’s used to enable communication between Prepar3D and ProSimA320 as well as several other modern applications. You can find the installer package here: C:\Program Files\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5\redist\Interface\FSX-SP2- XPACK\retail\lib

The Skalarki Profiler Software is the interface between your cockpit hardware and software components like ProSimA320.

Run the installer.

Select ProSim A320. Other software packages are only required if you do not want to work with ProSimA320.

By default Profiler will start with Windows and will be minimised to system tray. If you start Profiler manually it will be minimized as well.

After installing profiler software should look like this:

If it does not show green “YES” for a hardware component that you have already connected, please double check the procedures above or refer to our trouble shooting guide.

The next step is to install ProSimA320 software. Please extract the delivered ZIP-file.

Please unpack on the VISUAL-PC:

• ProSimA322-System
• ProSimA322-Audio2

Create a folder "C:\ProSimA322" and move the files there.

Add the respective programme to the start menu or create a shortcut on the desktop.

Please unpack on the AVIONICS-PC:

• ProSimA322-Display
• ProSimA322-MCDU

Create a folder "C:\ProSimA322" and move the files there.

Important: You must create a separate folder for each screen. You therefore need ProSimA322-Display three times and MCDU twice:

• ProSimA322-Display-CPT
• ProSimA322-Display-Center
• ProSimA322-Display-FO
• ProSimA322-MCDU-CPT
• ProSimA322-MCDU-FO

If you also use the Avionics PC for additional sound output (e.g. Avionics Sounds), you can also install ProSimA322-Audio2 there.

For the Instructor Operating Station (IOS) proceed in the same way with the ProSimIOS folder. You can install the IOS on any PC, e.g. a Windows-based tablet.
