The following installation instructions are applicable for XP and Vista English (UK or US) operating systems.

1. Install FSUIPC (if not already installed)
2. Install Microsoft's Speech SDK (if not already installed)
3. Install Microsoft's DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer (if not already installed)
4. Bring up your Flight Simulator (either FS9 or FSX) and load a flight using the Cessna C172
   
   IMPORTANT NOTES:
   
   
   1. You must use Microsoft's Internet Explorer
      The extremely powerful ClickOnce technology employed by IYP, mandates the use of Internet Explorer.
      Please DO NOT USE Netscape, Firefox, or any other browser..
      
   2. Vista Users please READ THIS.
   3. Please ensure that you have selected   US ENGLISH   in the Speech Recognition area.

5. Install It's Your Plane by CLICKING HERE

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.

NEW FSUIPC.DLL replaces FS6IPC.DLL for use with

FSUIPC 4 FOR FSX USERS:

Before using It's Your Plane, you MUST have FSUIPC (VERSION 4 4.12) INSTALLED. If you do not have FSUIPC installed, please go to:

NEW Full release of FSUIPC 4 (incorporating
WideFS 7) for use with FSX April 28th 2008 (3 MB)

Before launching the It's Your Plane ("IYP") application, you need to bring up your Flight Simulator, minimise it, then go to:

UAC requires that you give permission to any software programme that needs access to your system. This is an annoying feature. If you are running FS9 as an Administrator, UAC will not grant IYP access to FSUIPC; running FS9 as a "normal user" in Vista, could cause problems accessing installation areas that require "Administrator rights" – thus creating a "catch 22".

1. Give yourself user administrator rights on the folder you want to use in Flightsim.
   
2. Locate your Flight Simulator 9 directory and right click on "Flight Simulator 9" and click on Properties.
   
3. Up comes a popup - click on Security.
   
4. Now highlight your user and click on edit. A new popup with permissions comes up.
   
5. Again highlight your user and click on "Full control" then OK.
   
6. A new Popup advises you that you are changing the permission settings. Just click YES.
   

1. The Microsoft Speech Recognition and Text-To-Speech system

2. The Microsoft DirectX End-User Runtime Web Installer system

Click here to download the Microsoft Speech Engine SDK

SpeechSDK51.exe       68.0 MB

After Installing the Microsoft Speech Engine SDK

It is easy to find out whether or not you have the Microsoft Speech Engine properly installed on your PC. Simply open up your computer's control panel by left clicking on the desktop Start button and selecting "Control Panel" from the menu.

Locate the icon "Speech" from your control panel and open up the speech properties dialog by double clicking on it. (If you do not have this icon you do not have the Speech Recognition engine installed.)

In the Language section on the Speech Recognition tab of the Speech Properties dialog you will see a drop down box. If you do not have a Speech Recognition tab you do not have the Speech Recognition engine installed properly.

If the drop down box contains the value "Microsoft English Recognizer V5.1", then you have the correct speech engine installed for proper operation of the "It's Your Plane" application.   If the "Microsoft English Recognizer V5.1" is in the drop down list but is not the current value, make sure that you select it and press the Apply button.

Unless you are going to have more than one person using the speech application, leave the Default Profile selected.

Set up the Audio Input, then use the Configure Microphone option to set your levels.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT NOTE: USE A HIGH-QUALITY MICROPHONE.

A high-quality headset microphone can dramatically improve the accuracy of speech recognition by your computer.

TRAINING

It is highly recommended to do multiple training sessions.   Click the "More Training" button and select a session for training (you can do more training at anytime). The more training sessions you perform, the better the system will operate!
