2. INSTALLATION
The SOLO Airliner, 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
Prepar3D 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 (2).
•Connect the multiple power socket (2) to a 115-230 VAC outlet.
•Connect one end of the network cable (3) to the LAN connector of the Mini-computer.
•Connect the other end of the network cable (3) to the computer's MFS / P3D/ X-Plane. You have
two options, direct or through the LAN network.
OPTION 1: direct OPTION 2: Through LAN network
MFS / P3D computer
MFS / P3D computer
LAN connector
______________ USER’S MANUAL SOLO Airliner_____________
MFS / P3D:
•Copy the "VFConnect3.exe" file from the Memory Stick in the MFS / P3D desktop computer.
•If you already have the FSUIPC in computer MFS / P3D skip this step. Otherwise, you must have
al least the free version installed. From the Memory Stick execute the "Install FSUIPC4.exe" for
FSX / P3D. During the installation will appear a registration window, you must ignore the
registration pushing "Not Now". Restart MFS / P3D after the installation.
X-Plane:
•Copy the "VFConnect3-Xplane.exe" file from the Memory Stick in the X-Plane desktop computer.
¡Important! “VFConnect3-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 60 seconds, you must to see the “SELECT PANEL TYPE SCREEN”
See Chapter 3 for connecting the SOLO with your computer’s MFS / P3D / X-Plane.
DEACTIVATING THE SOLO:
______________ USER’S MANUAL SOLO Airliner_____________
•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
______________ USER’S MANUAL SOLO Airliner_____________
3. START UP
The SOLO incorporates a mini-computer at the back that is to be connected to the MFS / P3D / X-Plane
computer using the previously mentioned LAN cable 3.
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 2.
•Startup the MFS / P3D or X-Plane software.
•To establish the connection between the MFS / P3D / X-Plane computer and the SOLO you must
to execute the file "VFConnect3.exe" from the MFS / P3D desktop computer or “VFConnect-
Xplane.exe”if you are using X-Plane (see chapter 2).
•If you have the Windows FireWall activated, a warning permission 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 MFS / P3D or X-Plane is detected. Only
"Connected" will appear when you have initiated MFS / P3D.
•At the bellow “Client Connection Status” indicates the connection with the SOLO.
In this case the pluggin is connected to MFS / P3D and the SOLO
In this case the pluggin is searching the MFS / P3D and the SOLO
______________ USER’S MANUAL SOLO Airliner_____________
From this moment we can already appreciate if the SOLO and the MFS / P3D / 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 / P3D and the SOLO, look at
chapter 8 "troubleshooting".
If not get the connection after review chapter 8, please contact the VirtualFly Technical support:
"support@virtual-fly.com".
In this case the MFS and SOLO are connected
In this case the MFS and SFP are connected
In this case the MFS and SOLO are not connected

4. SELECTION OF PANEL TYPE (ACCORDING TO PLANE)
This instrument panel is designed to operate and display instruments for both single-engine and twin-
engine planes, and for the three engine types: PISTON, TURBOFAN and TURBOPROP. In the next picture
you can see that some aircraft already have their own custom panel as C-172, Mooney, B-58, etc ... but
there are customizable panels called "GENERIC" for other aircraft.
The planes best suited to the panel are just the planes that MFS / P3D or X-Plane incorporates by
default.
Some planes from P3D CARENADO had been tested, and that have shown good results.
Boing 737 option is not compatible with X-Plane it will only work with MFS/P3D Software
Above you can see the panel has 4 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".
______________ USER’S MANUAL SOLO Airliner_____________
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 24” touch-screen, so you must to manage it with your finger. Follow these
steps:
•Press on the label that correspond to the plane you want to fly in MFS / P3D/ 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/P3D is “Beechcraft King Air A350 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”.
•Push on above centered label “Start Selected Panel” now highlighted in Green.
Automatically the panel will show the gauges and indicators.
