Air Manager uses plugins to communicate with the flight simulator. This section describes how to install the plugins.
 
=== Download the plugins ===
 
[http://siminnovations.com/wiki/files/Plugins_2_1_4.zip Click here to download the plugins] for X-Plane, FSX and Prepar3D as a package (.zip). The package is divided in 3 operating systems, 'lin' for Linux, 'mac' for Mac OSx, and 'win' for Microsoft Windows.
 
=== X-Plane plugin ===
 
The X-plane plugin supports X-Plane 9 and 10. For Windows there is an automatic installer, for Mac OSx and Linux you'll find the plugin(s) in the folder called "Air Plugin".
 
==== Microsoft Windows ====
 
'''X-Plane 9 and 10:'''
Run the 'flightsim_plugin_setup.exe' executable in the ''win'' folder. The plugin installer will check the system for a X-Plane 9 and 10 installation. It shows what simulator software was found and if the plugin(s) is/are installed successfully.
 
==== Mac OSX ====
 
'''X-Plane 10:'''
Copy the 'Air Plugin' directory to your X-plane installation folder:'X-plane folder'/resources/plugins/'
 
Example directory structure:
./X-plane/resources/plugins/Air Plugin/32/mac.xpl
./X-plane/resources/plugins/Air Plugin/64/mac.xpl
 
'''X-plane 9:'''
When using X-plane 9, move the .\Air Plugin\32\mac.xpl file to .\Air Plugin\mac.xpl'
 
Example directory structure:
./X-plane/resources/plugins/Air Plugin/mac.xpl
 
==== Linux ====
 
'''X-Plane 10:'''
Copy the 'Air Plugin' directory to your X-plane installation folder:'X-plane folder'/resources/plugins/'
 
Example directory structure:
./X-plane/resources/plugins/Air Plugin/32/lin.xpl
./X-plane/resources/plugins/Air Plugin/64/lin.xpl
 
'''X-plane 9:'''
When using X-plane 9, move the .\Air Plugin\32\win.xpl file to .\Air Plugin\lin.xpl'
 
Example directory structure:
./X-plane/resources/plugins/Air Plugin/32/lin.xpl
 
=== FSX and Prepar3D plugin ===
 
==== Microsoft Windows ====
 
Run 'flightsim_plugin_setup.exe' executable which is in the plugins zipfile 'win' directory. The plugin installer will check the system for all FSX and Prepar3D installations. It shows what simulator software was found and if the plugin(s) is/are installed succesfully.
 
==== Disable or enable the plugin manually ====
 
'''This information is optionally. Normally you wouldn't have to enable or disable the plugin manually.'''
 
Navigate to the FSX/Prepar3D AppData folder, and search for the dll.xml file.
 
Full path could be:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX\dll.xml
C:\Users\Ralph\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX-SE\dll.xml
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D\dll.xml
 
Note that the AppData directory is hidden, so make sure to show hidden files
 
The dll.xml file will look something like this, but with more items listed.
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<SimBase.Document Type="Launch" version="1,0">
  <Descr>Launch</Descr>
  <Filename>dll.xml</Filename>
  <Disabled>False</Disabled>
  <Launch.ManualLoad>False</Launch.ManualLoad>
 
  More apps listed here...
 
  <Launch.Addon>
    <Name>Air Manager</Name>
    <Disabled>False</Disabled>
    <Path>C:\Program Files\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FSX\Modules\Air Manager\AirManager.dll</Path>
  </Launch.Addon>
  </SimBase.Document>
 
Change False to True to disable the plugin, or True to False to enable it.
 
The plugin (AirManager.dll) is installed in the Modules folder of your simulator software. For example:
 
C:\Program Files (x86)\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\FSX\Modules\Air Manager\AirManager.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games\Microsoft Flight Simulator X\Modules\Air Manager\AirManager.dll
C:\Program Files (x86)\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2\Modules\Air Manager\AirManager.dll
