In case you are experiencing connection problems, have a look at this [[ Connection problems | dedicated troubleshooting page.]]
When experiencing connection problems, especially with Microsoft Windows computers, please try again with the firewall temporarily turned off. If this helps, create a firewall rule for the simulator or both the simulator and Air Manager or/and Air Player.
 
=== Installation ===
Check the installation details for the concerned flight simulator plugin. Manually moving the installation folder of your simulator software, or having had a demo version installed before, might result in the plugin being installed in a wrong folder.
