Installation and connection guide

Installation

Make sure you have Microsoft .NET Framework 4. (Windows 7 and above have .NET already installed)
Download and install FSUIPC library for your version of the Flight Simulator
- If you have multiple versions (e.g. standalone and Steam), FSUIPC installer will ask which version you want to install it to.
- Free unregistered version of FSUIPC is sufficient, you don't have to buy it (but it is encouraged if you wish to use advanced features).
Download RemoteFlight Server
- Unzip the entire content to a folder on desktop or folder of your choice, installation is not required

Running the server

Start FSUIPC and make sure it is running
Start Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020
Start RemoteFlight Server as administrator
- On first run, the server will choose a random port, which you can randomize further or set manually. When you are happy with the port number, click the Start server button.
- On first run a pop-up window will appear, requesting access to firewall if you have one enabled. Allow this exception so that RemoteFlight Server can be accessed via network.
- If you are using any 3rd party firewall application, make sure it allows RemoteFlight Server (please consult the manual for your firewall on how to do this). I did testing with Norton and Avast firewall, both work without problems if properly set up.
- Important note on the firewall setup: If your home network is configured as Public, make sure you allow connections to RemoteFlight server on Public networks.
- Upon successful connection the status message in server window will change to Connected to FS and a message will appear in Flight Simulator.
Your system is now ready to be controlled via RemoteFlight gauges

Debugging conection problems

For most users, devices will connect to RemoteFlight Server or plugin on the first attempt. If this isn't your case, don't panic!

First you should verify that the server or plugin is actually correctly installed and connected to your simulator. Try to access the server using the browser on the same machine as your simulator. Simply use your browser and type in your IP address and port like this:
```
http://IP_ADRESS:PORT
```
. For example
```
http://192.168.0.200:3385
```
You should see a test page that looks like this
Hello from RemoteFlight Server!
If you see this message it means that:
- RemoteFlight Server is running
- RemoteFlight Server is connected to the simulator
- RemoteFlight Server is accessible from 192.168.0.200:3385
