NOTE: If you have already installed FSUIPC, have an operating Microsoft SAPI pre-trained Speech Recognition engine set to English US, are sufficiently proficient at programme installation and set-up procedures, then you can bypass the installation instructions and install It's Your Plane now!

Therefore, I ask that you resign yourself to the fact that this is NOT a 2-minute Plug-N-Play application. PLEASE... read this information carefully and take your time. I promise you, when you get the It's Your Plane programme properly installed and up and running, you will be totally amazed at this new and exciting multimedia experience!

We pride ourselves in providing the best customer service in the industry. Therefore, if you experience any problems after reading the following installation instructions, please go to our Support Forum where, because of worldwide time differences, you'll likely meet others who may be able to provide you with answers faster than I can. Please DO NOT e-mail me directly; e-mail is very inefficeint and I have a tendency to drop messages on the floor.

Thank you,
Robert Cezar - Your It's Your Plane Developer

NOTE: The simulator(s) does not have to be an English distribution.

Operating Systems:
If you’re running an English version of Windows, the It's Your Plane software will run on almost any of the latest Windows operating systems. Namely: Windows XP Home 32 Bit, Windows XP Home 64 Bit, Windows XP Professional 32 Bit, Windows XP Professional 64 Bit, Windows Vista 32 Bit, Windows Vista 64 Bit, the new Windows 7 system, etc.

Vista is Different from XP:
You’ll need either the Ultimate or the Enterprise editions of Vista in order to install and use the English Language. Microsoft only permits the English language to be installed on the aforementioned operating systems.

Vista Non-English, Non-Ultimate, Non-Enterprise Workaround:
We have some good news for users who have a Non-English version of Vista. We suggest that you take advantage of the Vistalizator from http://www.froggie.sk

If you experience any problems, please go to our Support Forum.

IYP employs an Auto-Update process for software revisions. By simply clicking on:

Start > All Programs > Robert Cezar > It's Your Plane

Under the Hood (bonnet for our UK friends):
The way the Auto-Update actually works is this. When you run the IYP application as per above, the IYP application itself checks for updates AFTER the programme is loaded... or if you prefer, after you hear Michelle or Mike say, "Captain - It's Your Plane... we're ready to go!" In reality, we could have checked for updates BEFORE the IYP application is launched, but that might slow things down. So, if updates are found, then the NEXT time you launch the application you will be informed that an update is available, and a box will pop up indicating that you can INSTALL the update, or SKIP it. Why is this explanation important? Because if we suggest that you to update to a newer software version, you will actually need to start IYP twice in order for the update offering to be recognised. I hope this is clear!

ClickOnce overcomes three major issues inherent in deployment:

1. Difficulties in updating applications. With traditional Microsoft Windows Installer deployment, whenever an application is updated, the user is required to reinstall the entire application; with ClickOnce deployment, the updates are provided automatically. Only those portions of the application that have changed are downloaded, then the fully cached and updated application is installed at run time.

2. Impact to the user's computer. With Windows Installer deployment, applications often rely on shared components, with the potential for versioning conflicts; with ClickOnce deployment, each application is self-contained and cannot interfere with other applications.

3. Security permissions. Windows Installer deployment requires administrative permissions and allows only limited user installation; ClickOnce deployment allows non-administrative users to install and grants only those Code Access Security permissions necessary for the application.

Why do we need your E-Mail Address?

Monitoring Facilities:
We need a valid e-mail address in order to communicate critically important information about FSC to you. In particular, during your early stages of use, you will invariably have some questions or possibly experience some set-up difficulties. The It's Your Plane servers are designed to systematically analyze new user errors and/or improper use, and if detected, will automatically send out an e-mail to you explaining how to quickly resolve the difficulty.

Regular Newsletters:
In addition, we will also send you our regular Newsletters that are packed with loads of important and useful information about FSC and our industry.

We Install a “Cookie”
Your e-mail address will be stored in a "cookie" on your computer that will associate you with our Web site. You MUST allow our Web site to set this “cookie” on your PC, otherwise you will not be able to download the It's Your Plane system. As long as this “cookie” remains on your computer, you will not be asked to go through this process again... you'll just skip on by!

We'll Send You a Temporary Access Code:
Enter your E-Mail Address, confirm it by entering it one more time, kindly tell us how you first heard about FSC (this helps us greatly in our marketing efforts) and then press the SUBMIT button on the installation page. Our servers will send you an e-mail with a

Temporary Access Code

that will let you gain access to our download page. If you repeat this process, the system will send you ANOTHER TEMPORARY ACCESS CODE. Only the LAST one you receive can be used to gain access.

A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:
It is NOT NECESSARY for you to keep this TEMPORARY ACCESS CODE - it's only used ONCE!

If you experience problems installing the “cookie”, please refer to the Help section of your browser. There are also some instructions on this page in RED that will help you with installing "cookies".

If you experience any problems, please go to our Support Forum.
