Step A: Turn on the Power
- Turn on the power strip.
- Ensure monitors are turned on. They should each have a blue or amber light with the exception of the small bottom right touch screen.
- Press the power button (currently showing a red light) on the bottom right touch screen. The light will turn green, then amber after about 10 seconds.
- Press the power button on the front of the computer.
- Wait for the computer to power up and for the TouchTrainer Supervisor window to appear.
This process takes about 30 to 60 seconds.
Step B: Launch TouchTrainer
- Swipe on the first screen, from right to left where it says Swipe.
- Read the Limitations then swipe to move to the next screen.
- Read the For Commercial Use page, then tap twice where it says Double Tap to Continue.
- You'll see some startup messages, and the Real Time Monitor section of the screen should show a green indication for all of the hardware.
When startup is complete, you'll see the instrument panel and the outside view. Be patient - the total startup time could be as long as 3 minutes or more.
Note: By default the simulator will use the current time of day. If it's night time, the outside view monitors may be black! This is normal.
An X-Plane Update is Available!
If you see the following message in the top center monitor, click Not Now. DO NOT USE YOUR FINGER. The top 3 monitors are NOT touchscreens.
This is shown if X-Plane releases an update. The TouchTrainer will block the download of any updates since any X-Plan update also requires an update to the SimAVIO software that drives the simulator. X-Plane will be automatically updated in a future SimAVIO update.
