| ====== Database Build ====== | ====== Database Build ====== | ||
| - | Before FS-FlightControl can be used the main product database needs to be built based on your flight simulator data. | + | All FS-FlightControl Steam products come with a pre-build database against the latest default simulator scenery. |
| - | This process is explained in this section. | + | Therefore no manual database build is needed as long as you do not use any additional scenery DLCs. |
| - | ===== First Program Start ===== | + | ===== Database Build ===== |
| - | + | ||
| - | {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/installation/database-build/first-program-start.png?nolink|}} | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | On the first program start this dialog will appear asking you which type of simulator you would like to use together with FS-FlightControl. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | In case you would like to use more than one simulator, no worries, you will be able to add more later on. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ===== Database Build for Prepar3D/FSX/FSW ===== | + | |
| {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/installation/database-build/database-build-prepar3d-fsx-fsw.png?nolink|}} | {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/installation/database-build/database-build-prepar3d-fsx-fsw.png?nolink|}} | ||
| - | If you use FS-FlightControl on the same computer where also Prepar3D, FSX oder FSW is installed both needed paths should be detected completely automatically and you just need to click on the button ''Build Database''. | + | After you have installed additional scenery DLCs you should rebuild also the FS-FlightControl Steam product database. |
| - | + | ||
| - | But if you would like to use FS-FlightControl on a different computer connecting to flight simulator over network, then please use the [[installation:simconnect-network-wizard]] before starting FS-FlightControl. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | After the [[installation:simconnect-network-wizard]] has been completed and you did not skip the remote folder access tasks both paths needed for the database build should be detected automatically again. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | In rare cases where you should not be able to create a network share usable from your FS-FlightControl computer, you could also install FS-FlightControl on your flight simulator computer first just for database build, then copy the database to your FS-FlightControl computer manually. For this reason there is a small link in the dialog shown above that allows you to open the FS-FlightControl data directory. The file that needs to be copied after a successful build is the ''Database-[SimulatorName].bin''. | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | ===== Database Build for X-Plane ===== | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | {{https://www.fs-flightcontrol.com/img/manual/installation/database-build/database-build-x-plane.png?nolink|}} | + | |
| - | + | ||
| - | In case of the X-Plane simulator type only the main simulator installation directory is needed. | + | |
| - | Also here a local installation of X-Plane 10 or 11 is detected automatically. | + | All paths should be pre-selected automatically, so just hit the button ''Build Database'' to start the database build! |
