Getting Started
When first opening the program. The application will automatically minimize and go to the tray. Simply click on the icon to open the application. There is no setup required as the application will automatically begin working.
It is essential that you have SkalarkiIO Profiler running to use software. If it is not running, the application will indicate “not running” on the top portion of the application.
Connectivity
The application will automatically connect and reconnect to SkalarkiIO
Profiler and Microsoft Flight Simulator. You can always run this application
in the background, and it will connect automatically. If it is unable to make
sure that SkalarkiIO Profiler has SDK mode turned on. Restarting the
application at any point will reconnect to SkalarkiIO and Microsoft Flight
Simulator.
Main Menu
If you wish to close the application, press the red X button and it will
prompt you to close the application. If you press the black minimize button it
will simply minimize the application to the tray. Pressing setup will bring
you to the setup menu.
SkalarkiIO Profiler Setup
SkalarkiIO profiler must have SDK mode running to use this software. Also, you must have the port set to 53000 and it also must be on the same PC as this application. To change to the correct port, stop SDK mode, press settings, then enter the correct port on the upper right of the SkalarkiIO Profiler software, where it says “SKALARKI SDK Server Settings”.
The below screen shows when everything is connected and ready to receive commands. Under connected software, “SIMULATION” and “SELECTED AIRCRAFT” do not matter.
SkalarkiIO Profiler will automatically connect upon startup. If it does not, restart SkalarkiIO Profiler application, and it should be connected automatically.
Setup Menu
There is no reason to change any settings as it will automatically be configured when you start the application. However, you have a few options you can adjust.
- Calibration – Allows adjustments to the Throttles, Speed brake, and flaps.
- Backlights – Allows power settings for the backlighting on the FCU, Overhead, and Pedestal.
- Planes – Provides status of what planes are installed/activated and provides command lists.
- Debug – Simple window to show what is going on within the application.
Calibration page
The calibration page allows you to calibrate the throttles, speed brake, and flaps levers. For most this will not need to be adjusted. To calibrate, place the lever to the minimum level and press Min Set, then place the lever to the maximum state and press Max Set. The flaps work a little differently. Set the minimum (0) and then set the maximum (Full). Once done, the Set 1, Set 2, and Set 3 will be available to calibrate. The yellow line will be placed where you put the lever. Your calibration values are always saved unless you deactivate your license or uninstall the program.
Backlights Page
The backlights page allows you to adjust when you want the backlights to turn off and on. Setting the value to “On” will always turn the backlights on. Off will do the opposite. Changing the setting to DC will turn off and on the backlights when the Battery is turned on and off on the plane. AC will do the same as DC but for the AC power of the plane. Typically, this is when the engines are on, or external power is on. You also have the option to turn the setting on to all of them by using the “all” row. This setting is persistent and will also be saved unless you deactivate your license or uninstall the application.
Planes Page
The planes page shows what planes are installed and activated. If the plane is installed and activated, the activation button text will be shown in Green. If the plane is installed but not activated, it will be shown in Orange. It is it neither, it will be shown in Red. On the right side you will see “Command List” buttons. This allows you to see what is currently functional on the plane. Clicking on the button will bring up a .pdf. In the following example you can see that all but the Gear Arrow LED are programmed for this plane.
Plane activations
The application comes preinstalled with the Flybywire A32NX. To use additional planes, you must purchase them separately and install them separately. Each plane will come with an annual license. After the year has passed, you will need to purchase a new license to continue using that plane. To activate your purchase. Press the RED activate button. This will bring up the plane activation window.
Once activated, you will be able to see how many days are left of the license. To get this information, you will need to restart the application after activated for it to connect to the server. You can deactivate the license at any time by pressing the deactivate button. This will only deactivate the plane.
Debug Window
The debug window shows you everything that is going on within the application.
- Red Text – Indicates what is disconnected, an error, or user intervention required. Blue Text – Indicates Recalling status.
- Orange Text – Indicates initialization status.
- Green Text – Indicates what is connected.
- Black text – Indicates input/output signals from devices that are checked.
- Auto-Scroll Checkmark – When checked (by default), will automatically scroll the list. Clear Button – Clears the window.
About Menu (?)
This button will show you the registration information, allow you to check for
updates, configure the automatic update timings, and reset the license
information.
Updates
The application will automatically prompt you to update the software when
opened. If you wish to turn this setting off, you can do so under the About
Menu (?). You can also manually check for updates at any time.
Deactivation
If you wish to deactivate for any reason, you can do so in the About Menu (?).
Doing so will also deactivate all planes and will delete all settings.
Connecting the driver
This driver is completely automated. At no time do you need to connect the
driver to the simulator. It will pick up the plane you are flying in and match
the commands to it on its own.
