REQUIREMENTS & INSTALLATION
Our Aerobask Ep c E1000 requ res X-Plane 10.45 (64-b t)
or h gher. Th s a rcraft s not compat ble w th X-Plane 9 or
the 32-b t vers on of X-Plane 10.
Unz p the downloaded f le and copy the d rectory to the
"A rcraft / General av at on" folder of your X-Plane copy.
Performance Optimization
Th s product has been opt m zed for good performance.
However, the a rcraft uses several h gh def n t on l ver es
(4096 px) for a h gh graph cal qual ty and complex
custom programm ng for the av on cs. We recommend at
least 2 GB of RAM.
In case of low FPS, you can reduce graph c opt ons n
the ma n program (esp. sw tch ng off HDR, reduc ng ant
al as ng, lower ng the draw ng d stance etc.) If you use AI
planes, select only s mple a rcraft w thout 3D cockp t and
w thout plug- ns.
Custom Commands
The Aerobask Ep c E1000 features complex av on cs. To
make operat on of the av on cs eas er for var ous k nds of
hardware setups, we have created 66 custom commands
wh ch you can ass gn to buttons or keyboard. Some
ava lable custom commands are shown on the r ght;
more are ava lable.
Please refer to the X-Plane manual for nformat on on
how to setup buttons and keys n X-Plane and how to
ass gn custom commands to them.

THE DYNON SKYVIEW
Our Aerobask Ep c E1000 s equ pped w th a deta led
s mulat on of the Dynon SkyV ew. The E1000's SkyV ew
does not use X-Plane's default nstruments anymore.
Instead the SkyV ew has been developed from scratch.
New Aerobask member L onel Zamouth ut l zed the SASL
plug n for ach ev ng an unmatched degree of funct onal
deta l and readab l ty. Although n th s current product,
some features have not yet been mplemented
(SID/STARs w ll come n a free update soon), t s no
exaggerat on to state that the Aerobask Ep c E1000
features the most deta led s mulat on of a SkyV ew
currently ava lable n any home-use fl ght s mulator.
The three d splays on the panel are fully conf gurable to
be used as Pr mary Fl ght D splay (PFD) or Nav gat on
D splay (ND). The v rtual screen resolut on s the same as
n the real SkyV ew, so the d splays are very readable
even n the 3D cockp t. However, by cl ck ng on the
d splays, you can also show them as popup w ndows
wh ch enhances readab l ty even more.
For deta ls on the SkyV ew, please refer to the separate
SkyV ew manual.

POPUP VIEWS
Ensur ng good readab l ty of v rtual d splays one a
desktop s mulator s not an easy challenge and strongly
depends on your v ewpo nt. The h gher the s mulated
d splay resolut on ( n case of the SkyV ew 1024 x 600
p xels), the more condensed the 3D v ew gets when you
don't change your v ewpo nt. Actually th s works as n
real ty, where readab l ty of a certa n resolut on also
changes w th d splay s ze and v ewpo nt.
Therefore, the Aerobask Ep c E1000 offers you to
opt onally show the SkyV ew d splays, the EIS, the rad os
and the autop lot as popup w ndows. Just cl ck on any of
the nstruments to make the popup appear. Cl ck on the
center of each popup to make t d sappear.
You can move and res ze the popups us ng your mouse
and close them us ng the small “x” con on the r upper
r ght corner.
