The FSFDT Control Panel

The FSFDT Control Panel allows you to overview your connection status, to set up your voice software, and to parameter the keyboard and joystick buttons.

You open the control panel by clicking on the icon in the Windows tool bar (lower right corner - near the clock).

The small 6 green lights show you the status of your connection. They are a recopy of the centred indicator of the control panel.

The 6 text fields indicate the situation of the software.

Note: FSInn starts and manages the voice software as necessary; do not start them manually (see chapter 4.2 below).

VHF COMM1 et COMM2__.

The first green square indicates on which VHF COMM you transmit. The second one indicates on which VHF COMM you receive.

In the example above, transmission is set on COMM1, but we receive on both VHF.

Autodetect: FSInn will automatically locate your FS running FSCopilot.

Specific: you can manually configure your system by selecting the computer on which runs FS with FSCopilot, or entering the IP address or hostname.

Confirm your selection by <ENTER>.

FWInn is the kernel for FSInn (and later on for ATCInn). It is an essential part of the system, allowing all software and hardware to work together. It is connected to FS multiplayer and FSD networks.

Connect Framework on local computer only: all the components will run from the local computer only.

Autodetect: FWInn will locate automatically every necessary component to make the framework work properly.

Remote: allows selecting the remote computer on which FSInn (ATCInn) framework is running. You can enter manually the IP address or the hostname.

Confirm your selection by <ENTER>.

An ‘Extra’ option has been added to make the multi player session apparent to other pilots over routers. Activate only if you have problems, because the MP session of FSInn could have a loss of performance.
