42. INSTALLATION - USER’S MANUAL SOLO AIRLINER-RS
The SOLO Airliner RS, hereinafter referred to as “SOLO”, has been te-
chnologically developed to be fully Plug&Fly. It connects easily to any
computer running FSX or hereinafter referred to as “MFS” or PreparD
hereinafter referred to as “P3D” or X-Plane. Even so, we’ll 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 / PD / X-Plane. You have two options, direct or through the
LAN network.

2. INSTALLATION - USER’S MANUAL SOLO AIRLINER RS
MFS / PD:
• Copy the "VFConnect.exe" file from the Memory Stick () in the
MFS/PD desktop computer.
• If you already have the FSUIPC in computer MFS/PD skip this
step. Otherwise, you must have at least the free version installed.
From the Memory Stick execute the "Install FSUIPC.exe" for FSX/
PD. During the installation will appear a registration window,
you must ignore the registration pushing "Not Now". Restart MFS/
PD 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 important 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 / PD
/ 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 AIRLINER-RS
The SOLO incorporates a mini-computer at the back that is to be connec-
ted to the MFS / PD / 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/PD or X-Plane software.
• To establish the connection between the MFS / PD / X-Plane com-
puter and the SOLO you must to execute the file "VFConnect.
exe" from the MFS/PD 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 / PD / X-Plane is detected. Only "Connected" will
appear when you have initiated MFS / PD / 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
/ PD / X-Plane computer are communicating. In the bellow part of the
“SELECT PANEL TYPE” window you will see one of the following messages.
• Connected: Everything is ready, you can already begin to fly.
• Searching…: There is a communication failure between the MFS/
PD and the SOLO, look at Chapter "Troubleshooting".
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 AIRLINER-RS
This instrument panel is designed to operate and display instruments
for both single-engine and twin-engine planes, and for the three en-
gine types: PISTON, TURBOFAN and 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 aircraft.
The planes best suited to the panel are just the planes that MFS/PD or
X-Plane incorporates by default.
Some planes from PD CARENADO had been tested, and that have
shown good results.
Boing option is not compatible with X-Plane it will only work with MFS/
PD Software.
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 / PD / X-Plane, (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/PD is “Beechcraft
King Air A you must select the GENERIC “TURBO PROP-twin
engine in the panel”):
• If you have chosen a GENERIC panel, automatically a new
“Generic Panel OPTIONS” will open were you can select your
preferences:
o “Airspeed Range”
o “Directional indicator”.
4. SELECTION OF PANEL
TYPE (ACCORDING
TO PLANE)
84. SELECTION OF PANEL TYPE (ACCORDING TO PLANE) - USER’S MANUAL SOLO AIRLINER-RS
• Push on above centered label “Start Selected Panel” now
highlighted in Green.
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, turboprop, or turbofan. The panel incorporates some magnetic
labels that you must place in the suitable zone to change the designa-
tion 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:
Magnetic labels pack for turbofan (Boeing-737) engines:

. Switch on M. AVIONICS.
This procedure has started the single engine if it is a single-engine
airplane or the left engine if it is a twin-engine plane, in the latter case do
the indications , , to start the right engine.
Stop piston engines (using MFS / PD)
. Pull on the PARKING BRAKE.
