42. INSTALLATION - USER’S MANUAL SOLO GA
The SOLO GA, hereinafter referred to as "SOLO", has been technologically
developed to be fully Plug&Fly. It connects easily to any computer running
the FSX hereinafter referred to as "MFS" or PreparD hereinafter referred
to as "PD" or X-Plane. Even so, weíll give you a series of steps to follow
to install your panel.
• Place the panel on the table where it is to be used or on the
SOLO support; in the latter case, follow its instruction manual.
• Connect all the socket power cables from back panel to the multiple
power socket ().
• Connect the multiple power socket () to a - VAC outlet.
• Connect one end of the network cable () to the LAN connector
of the Mini-computer.
• Connect the other end of the network cable () to the computer's
MFS / PD / X-Plane. You have two options, direct or through the
LAN network.

2. INSTALLATION - USER’S MANUAL SOLO GA
MFS / PD:
• Copy the "VFConnect.exe" file from the Memory Stick in the
MFS / PD desktop computer.
• If you already have the FSUIPC in computer MFS / PD skip this
step. Otherwise, you must have at least the free version installed.
From the Memory Stick execute the "Install FSUIPC.exe" for FSX
/ PD. During the installation will appear a registration window,
you must ignore the registration pushing "Not Now". Restart MFS
/ PD after the installation.
X-Plane:
• Copy the "VFConnect-Xplane.exe" file from the Memory Stick in
the X-Plane desktop computer.
¡Important! “VFConnect-Xplane” may not work properly if
DataRefTool plugin is installed and activated in X-Plane, if you are
using this plugin please deactivate it before using SOLO panel.
ACTIVATING THE SOLO:
• Press the push-button to start the "Windows" operating system of
the mini-computer from the SOLO.
• At this time, the "Windows" operating system and all programs
found in the SOLO computer will start automatically. (It is very im-
portant that SOLO not be disconnected, or "Windows" stopped
while the programs are loading. Doing so may cause problems
with booting in the future).
The SOLO is ready to operate after about  seconds, you must see the
“SELECT PANEL TYPE SCREEN”
See Chapter  for connecting the SOLO with your computer’s MFS / PD
/ X-Plane.
DEACTIVATING THE SOLO:
• Press the push-button of the mini-computer to stop the "Windows",
wait for Windows to stop totally.
• Once "Window" has totally stopped, you can unplug the SOLO

63. START UP - USER’S MANUAL SOLO GA
The SOLO incorporates a mini-computer at the back that is to be connec-
ted to the MFS / PD / X-Plane computer using the previously mentioned
LAN cable ().
It is important to note that in no case should you access or manage the
SOLO mini-computer.
• Activate the SOLO like is indicated in Chapter .
• Startup the MFS / PD or X-Plane software.
• To establish the connection between the MFS / PD / X-Plane com-
puter and the SOLO you must to execute the file "VFConnect.
exe" from the MFS / PD desktop computer or “VFConnect-
Xplane.exe” if you are using X-Plane (see chapter ).
• If you have the Windows FireWall activated, a warning permis-
sion to communicate with networks appears, you must to click
"Allow Access".
• Once the connection is established, you should see an image
like the right:
• At the top “This Computer” indicates if the software Flight
Simulator MFS / PD / X-Plane is detected. Only "Connected" will
appear when you have initiated MFS / PD / X-Plane.
• At the bellow “Client Connection Status” indicates the connection
with the SOLO.
From this moment we can already appreciate if the SOLO and the MFS /
PD / X-Plane computer are communicating.
If not get the connection after review Chapter , please contact the
VirtualFly Technical support: "support@virtual-fly.com".

4. SELECTION OF PANEL TYPE (ACCORDING TO PLANE) - USER’S MANUAL SOLO GA
This instrument panel is designed to operate and display instruments for
both single-engine and twin-engine planes, and for the two engine ty-
pes: PISTON or TURBOPROP. In the next picture you can see that some
aircraft already have their own custom panel as C-, Mooney, B-,
etc ... but there are customizable panels called "GENERIC" for other air-
craft.
The planes best suited to the panel are just the planes that MFS / PD
or X-Plane incorporates by default.
Some planes from PD CARENADO had been tested, and that have shown
good results.
Above you can see the panel has  types of "GENERIC", on each of them
you can choose the full scale of the speedometer "Airspeed Range" and
type of instrument indication of direction "Directional Indicator".
To select the panel according the plane you want to fly, you have to do
two tasks:
• Select the indicators panel.
• Select the labels for the switches and rotaries of the panel.
Select the indicators panel:
The panel incorporates a ” touch-screen, so you must manage it with
your finger. Follow these steps:
• Press on the label that correspond to the plane you want to fly in
MFS / PD, (if there isn’t a customized label for that plane, select
a GENERIC label according to the engine type of the plane (e.g.
if the plane selected on MFS/PD is “Beechcraft B you must
select the GENERIC “TURBO PROP-twin engine in the panel”):
• If you have chosen a GENERIC panel, automatically a new “Extra
Options” will open were you can select your preferences:
o “Airspeed Range”
o “Directional indicator”.
4. SELECTION OF PANEL

84. SELECTION OF PANEL TYPE (ACCORDING TO PLANE) - USER’S MANUAL SOLO GA
• Push on the following button:
Automatically the panel will show the gauges and indicators.
Select the labels for the switches and rotaries of the panel:
According the SOLO is a multifunction panel, a lot of switches change
its function depending if the gauges&indicators panel selected is for
piston or turboprop. The panel incorporates some magnetic labels that
you must place in the suitable zone to change the designation of each
switch and rotary. The default designation of the switches and rotaries
(without magnetic labels) is for piston engines.
Magnetic Labels pack for turboprop engines:

Device description
The order inwich the devices appear, if activated, is fixed: see diagram
on previous page.
.. AUDIO PANEL AND MARKERS
The user can select which audio channel to receive and transmit; it also
includes an approach radiobeacon (marker) lights.
"Active" buttons are shown smaller and darker, to simulate the fact that
they have been pressed. Speaker and Phone buttons are linked and
will always be de/activated together, regardless of wich is pressed first.
The picture shows some buttons pressed (ON) and some depressed
(OFF).
Definition of buttons:
. AP Master Switch: Engage/Disengage the autopilot. AP caption lit
on annunciation panel () when ON.
. FD: Flight Director switch ON or OFF (if installed). FD caption lit on
annunciation panel.
DUAL RECEPTION
It is permitted to activate both COM and COM audio, simultaneously.
NOTE: Not all the buttons work; inoperative buttons are: MKR Sens,
TEL and AUTO. MIC switch only works with COM1 or COM2.
.. AUTO-PILOT (AP) 'KFC  like'
Peixsoft GA Radio Stack Displays UDP for Virtual-Fly
This modified version shows, and allows modification of, values from
the simulator's autopilot. It also provides information about active and
armed modes.
NOTE: The autopilot does nothing by itself; it merely sends to and re-
ceives from FS, the appropiate data, while FS handles the operation.
As a result, Radio Stack may exhibit limited functionally with certain
third-party addon aircraft depending on how complex the autopilot
systems are and how much they deviate from the generic FS systems.
Therefore, allthough the default aircraft and most addon GA aircraft
can be used successfully with the stack, more complex addon aircraft
may not work at all or demonstrate limited functionality.

"heading bug".
. NAV: Navigation Mode (VOR or GPS). Arms the NAV mode to inter-
cept and follow the selected radial on NAV/GPS track.
. APR: Approach Mode (LOC or ILS). This arms the APR mode, to inter-
cept the Localizer and the Glide Slope (if available and the NAV radio
is tuned to the ILS frequency).
Note: if HDG mode is active, it will be replaced by APR mode when
the Localizer is captured and if ALT mode is active, it will be repla-
ced by the Glideslope when captured.
. REV: Back course mode (Rev LOC). It arms the reverse localizer cap-
ture to perform an outbound procedure turn to ILS.
. ALT: Altitude Hold. The altitude maintained is the altitude at the mo-
ment the ALT button is pressed rounded to the nearest hundred. If
the ALT button is pressed with an established climb os decent rate
present, there will be an overshoot, with the airplane returned po-
sitively to the selected altitude. If pressed when ALT hold mode is
engaged, will disengage the mode.
. UP & DN: It is used to change the Vertical Speed (VS) in hundreds.
. ALT Knob: Used to change the selected altitude. The outer knob
changes the altitude in increments of  ft and the inner knob in
increments of  ft.
. VS: Vertical Speed. When pressed will engage the vertical speed hold
mode. The vertical speed maintained is the vertical speed present at
the moment the VS button is pressed rounded to the nearest hun-
dred. The rate can be changed using UP or DN buttons. When the VS
button is pressed again, it will disengage the vertical speed mode.
.ARM: This arms the altitude mode. If AP is engaged the plane will
climb or descend to the desired altitude at the selected vertical spe-
ed. Vertical speed can by changed while Alt is engaged by pressing
UP or DN buttons. While altitude is not yet reached, the active mode is
automatically set to VS while ALT is only armed. It will change to active
when the desired altitude is reached.

7. MULTIPLE SOLO GA OR MULTIPLE MFS / P3D / X-PLANE COMPUTER IN THE SAME NETWORK
If you connect more than one SOLO to the same network, you should be
aware that to use them simultaneously you should have more than one
computers using MFS / PD / X-Plane connected to the same network
and indicate the right MFS / PD / X-Plane computer to each SOLO, as
detailed below.
• Connecting a PC to one of the SOLO, just can be turned on the SOLO
which you want to connect. When you will execute VFConnect3.exe or
VFConnect3-Xplane, it will detect the active SOLO and will connect.
• Once a PC and SOLO are connected, they will remain connected du-
ring the session. At this point, if a second SOLO is turned on and a
second PC runs VFConnect3.exe or VFConnect3-Xplane, this just will
detect the SOLO which is free and will connect.
• You should be aware that never a connection between a specific
SOLO and PC is saved, Connections are made automatically when
VFConnect3.exe or VFConnect3-Xplane starts and it find a SOLO
which is available (free of connection to a PC )
• If you want to prevent a panel to connect to another PC, or make sure
that a SOLO will connect to the same PC, connect them directly without
going by the LAN network.
