Instructions: ============= - Install the game. - Run the launcher and use the serial numbers RFG4 and InterLink serials given a bove then close the launcher. - Install the three updates found in the update folder in numerical order. (4_00 _035, 4_00_051, 4_50_021) - Extract the 5 addons from the addon folder into the programs data directory (t ypically C:\Program Files\RealFlightG4\data), serial numbers for the addons are supplied although they should not be needed - Copy the emu.exe found in the Dongle Emu 3.3 folder to the installation progra m directory (typically C:\Program Files\RealFlightG4) - Make sure you have at least one joystick plugged in and working in windows. If you are using the older G2 joystick go to Control Panel/Game Controllers/Ad d Select Custom and select a 4 Axis Joystick, in Controller Name type: G3 and cl ick OK to add the joystick. Make sure that in the Joystick list it shows OK. If you have other joystick and not the older G2 one, just make sure it appears on the joystick list otherwise add it. Calibrate the joystick. - Run the Emu.exe Emulator from the program directory and press "Launch the game !!!". - After the game was loaded, from the game menu select Controller/Select Control ler and select the "Interlink Joystick (G2)" - Select Controller/Controller Calibration in order to calibrate your joystick. - After calibration is done, you can press "2" and see the joystick controls app ear on the screen. This will help you see if the joystick is configured ok. - Use CTRL-F and CTRL-G to control the flaps and gear. - Enjoy !! ;) Known issues and special configuration:

======================================= - Emulator The emulator works with versions: 3.0.0.313, 3.0.0.366 , 3.0.0.410 , 3.0.0.430, 3.0.0.448, 3.50.033 3.50.044, 3.50.060, 3.50.065, 4.0.0.31, 4.0.0.51 of RealFlight.exe. If you get "Unknown Realflight version !!!" , you are using a new or unknown rea lflight version, future to come emulator for this version will be available soon please be patien t. - Loading Errors: Sometimes when the game tries to load it throws ugly errors saying "Error creati ng effect xxxx" or something similar and halts, it can be right on the start or after 180 elemen ts or so ... This is caused by your Video Card Adapter that is not 100% compatible with Direc tX 9.0c. Check out: http://12.156.2.54/forums/showthread.php?t=9243 or seek google for th is error. You will need a quite newish card in order to run this simulator. If you still want to to overcome this problem you can try and select the "Try to overcome loading problems" checkbox in the Emulator this may actually wo rk in some cases but not guaranteed. Sometimes using this flag can just hang the game when it is trying to load :/ - Joystick Configuration: By default this game is built for a 4 Axis joystick. You can use an older Joystick version from the G2 game and it will run smoothly. If some Axis of the joystick are opposite you can use the Controller/Channel Map ping option in the game to remap the controls to fit your joystick. One problem exists though is that the older joystick does not have a channel for Flaps or Gear so Flaps will be disabled using the older G2 control. BUT - you can still use the emulator "Keyboard to Joystick mapping function" in order to map keyboard keystrokes to joystick buttons and therefore you can play with Flaps and Gear he hehe =) !!! However, if you would like and try connecting other joysticks or even build one of your own I recommend using PPJoy and PPJoyJoy (do some google on it): http://www.geocities.com/deonvdw/Docs/PPJoyMain.htm http://www.simtel.net/product.download.mirrors.php?id=75176 These 2 programs let you map an existing joystick or keyboard to another joystic k. You can try and play with these in combination with the emulator. If you are having problems using your joystick and the emulator, you can try and configure the emulator to map into your own joystick channels. First of all try using the "auto-detect" button (before launching the game) and

follow the pictures and instructions inside the emulator to try and figure out the right ch annels mapping. If the auto-detect didn't work, try the manual way: Launch the game from the Emulator and then press "2" inside the game, this will show the joystick controls on the screen. Now select the "X1 Axis" in the Emulator and select a number from 1 - 60 and go back to the simulator and try to move the X1 Axis of your joystick in order to see if it aff ects the control in the game or not. Usually the mapping for the axis controls are in steps of "4 ",i.e. 0,4,8,12,16, 20,24,28 etc ... If it does affect so you have probably found the right value for this Axis, if n ot you should select another number and repeat the test and so on .... Repeat this procedure for the all of the Axis list in the Emulator until done. Make sure that after finding all the Axis mappings, you need to select the Contr oller Calibration from the menu and calibrate the joystick otherwise it won't be configured and ca librated right. - USB/Serial and real R/C devices. Sometimes when using USB or Serial interfaces, the calibration of the sticks mig ht not work well. Many users complain that the "Finish" button is dimmed and cannot be pressed whe n trying to calibrate the joystick or their R/C. This usually happens when RF cannot sense t he full motion of the sticks or identify all the channels. Another problem that might occur is tha t RF can indeed calibrate the sticks but the sticks won't move to their full edges, i.e. cannot issue a full down or full up or full throttle etc. In order to solve these cases, you can try and play with the "Signal Fix" featur e. Select the problematic axis and check the Signal Fix checkbox. After doing so and while the game is active move the stick in full circle motion few times in order for the emulator to be a ble to calibrate it. The min and max values set the range for the axis to be reported to RF. Feel fre e to play and change these values in order to find what suites your configuration most. The cu rrent values are a suggestion and might not work well in your case. When the sticks are responding to your satisfaction, get back to the emulator sc reen and select the "Lock Calibration" checkbox in order to maintain the calibration for the res t of the session and save the calibration data in the emulator for good, otherwise the calibratio n might be lost when selecting new aircrafts or reloading the game. The following configurations reported to be working, these are only examples, ma ny other

configurations are known to be working as well. - Futaba T6XA R/C with a PPM to Serial converter. - PPJoy running on Com Serial mode. - Following configuration in Emulator: X1 -> 0 Y1 -> 8 [x]Signal Fix, min:0 max: 29000 X2 -> 20 Y2 -> 4 [x]Signal Fix, min:0 max: 29000 Flaps->12 Button1->24 Button2->12 - Futaba 9 CAFS 9 - USB cable adapter. - In the R/C, set the Acrobatic level for the channels. X1 Y1 X2 Y2 -> -> -> -> 0 4 16 8

No Interlinks Found =================== There are some known problems running the emulator with some models of various U SB joysticks such as Thrustmaster or others. If you are capable of running the game but see a "No Interlinks Found" message w hen trying to select the controller inside the game, try the following workaround: Download PPJoy (http://www.geocities.com/deonvdw/Docs/PPJoyMain.htm) and use PPJ oyJoy to map the joystick to another virtual joystick. After doing that make sure that in Control Panel/Game ports/Advanced, the PPJoy joystick is the default and preferr ed one. Run the game in the above configuration. Windows Vista ============= Some users complain about running the emulator on Vista, it is known that the ga me can run on Vista with no special problems. If you are experiencing difficulties running it on Vi sta, try the following: Right click on the Emu.exe file, select "Properties". In the properties window select "Compatibility" tab, under "Privilege Level" che ck the "Run this program as an administrator" checkbox and select Apply then run the em ulator again, this might help. Old operation mode

================== This flag tries to run the emulation in a backward compatible way to older versi ons of emulator. Use this in a case where unexpected problems occur.
