RealFlight G3 Manual - Great Planes Software Support

INSTALLING THE SOFTWARE
After you have completed installation of the new video and sound card drivers, you
are now ready to install RealFlight G3.
1) Before installing the software, make sure to close any applications that you are
running. This includes virus checkers and other similar applications.
2) Insert Disc 1 (One) into the appropriate CD-ROM drive.
3) If Auto-Play is active, setup will begin automatically when the CD-ROM drive
is closed. Simply click the Install button when prompted. If Auto-Play is not
active, click Start on the task bar. Next, click Run. In the dialog box that
appears, type ‘d:\setup’ (assuming that ‘d’ is your CD-ROM drive) and click
OK.
4) Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup procedure. When
prompted, remove Disc 1 (One) and insert Disc 2 (Two). Upon completion of
the installation, click OK.
Note: if you wish to use RealFlight Add-ons 3, 4, and 5 with RealFlight G3,
you will need to re-install them after RealFlight G3 finishes its installation.
INSTALLING OR UPDATING DIRECTX
1) RealFlight will ask if you wish to install DirectX 9 on your PC. It is important
that your PC utilizes DirectX 9.0C or later. Click OK to proceed to the DirectX
License Agreement.
2) Click "I accept the license agreement" to install DirectX 9.0C. Alternatively,
if you do not wish to update DirectX at this time, click Cancel.
3) If you have opted to accept the license agreement, click Next to proceed with
the installation. DirectX will install the necessary files to update your PC.
4) When prompted, click Finish. Your PC will power down and then restart once
again.
CONNECT THE INTERLINK PLUS CONTROLLER
The InterLink Plus controller uses the USB (Universal Serial Bus) port, so there is
little to do in the way of setup.
1) With the software installation procedure complete, firmly plug the InterLink
Plus controller into one of the unused USB ports on the PC. Because the
controller is hot swappable, you do not have to shut the PC down to plug the
controller in.
2) The amber light on the front of the InterLink Plus controller should begin to
flash. This indicates that the controller is properly connected. If the light does
not blink, remove the controller from the USB port and plug it in firmly once
again.
