FSInn up and running quick and easy (4 simple steps)

If you run into errors after the installation, please go to the link below for troubleshooting info
viewtopic.php?f=43&t=56205

FSInn1.3 beta is very stable. It was waiting for the completion of the Weather installation which was dependent on the functionality of simconnect.

FS9 users can consider sticking with the older version 1.2. Neither FSX or Vista is supported under FSInn1.2.

FSInn1.3 has full support for both.

The upgrade will eliminate many problems from any Flight Simulator version. You will find the FSInn1.3 download at:

SetupFSCopilot17B2_4.exe
SetupFSInn13B2_3.exe

Backup links in case the links above are down

Requirements

Windows XP (x32 or x64)

Windows Vista (x32 or x64)

Windows 7 (x32 or x64)

FS9 and FSX users, you must have atleast SP1 installed. if you dont have your flight simulator updates, here are the links

Installation
Below are the steps for installation.

Install Flight Simulator, then install the appropriate service pack for the Flight Simulator version (FS9.1, FSX/SP1, FSX/SP2) on a fresh system.

Install FSCopilot 1.7 and FSinn 1.3.

DO NOT RUN THE INSTALLERS AS ADMIN

(During the install, DO NOT make any changes or type anything in any of the fields. just click Next or ENTER, for both packages. )

2a. After installation, Run FSInnUI once from the Start menu to update .ocx registration.
-> WITHOUT Flight Simulator running, click Start on your desktop menu.
-> Go to Program Files
-> Go to FSFDT
-> Select FSInnUI (if you use Vista/Win7, right click FSINNUI and select run as administrator from the dropdown menu
-> Push the Chat button first, then open all the other buttons).

after doing this you can close FSINN

2b. Vista (and Windows 7) Specific

Quote:

Important Specifically for Vista (and Windows 7):

right click on the FSX.exe (or FS9.exe) program and set the compatible mode to Run as Administrator (by putting a check mark in the "Run as Administrator" option).

Very Important: DO NOT put any check marks in any of the FSInn modules.[/b]

(You can find Flight Simulator's install directory with FindFS.)

right click on the FSInnUI (the Inn Control Panel) from the start menu. Select "Run As Administrator" from the dropdown list (NOT from properties), then Click on Chat. (Instruction 2a listed above)

For Windows 7, the system has to be run from an account that is Administrator type (a Standard user will not work properly) This is changed from the Control Panel -> User Accounts - Change Your Account Type.

Start Flight Simulator, click on Add-on, Click on Inn Control Panel -> Set -> General -> Basic (Fill in your Call Sign, First Name, Last Name and Homebase Airport. Then Click Network -> VATSIM (type in your UserID, Password and a current server from the link [Vatsim Current List of Servers]).

!!!NOTICE!!!
The load servers button has now been fixed. you will need to download the installer from the post below which will fix the load servers button.
viewtopic.php?f=43&t=58751

Click on the VATSIM button in the Inn Control Panel and connect to VATSIM.

That's it. Install is complete.

Take a look at a Flash Movie Connection Tutorial for connection details.

Configuring Sound (VATSIM Voice and PTT/Push To Talk):

While running Flight Simlator, bring up the FSFDT Control Panel. It's the icon in the tasktray that looks like a traffic light sign.

Click on Voice -> VATSIM (Choose your sound devices) -> Click on Volumes -> (Insure Sliders are to the right for more volume) Click on Key mappings -> (Choose your PTT for keyboard [and or joystick button])

Note: This announcement will be updated periodically for grammar and clarity.
