Running under WINDOWS XP/VISTA/ME
These operating systems cause an immediate problem when running the sim software, as they won't allow the detection of the simulator interface. This is due to the computer being run in protected mode, and  will not allow a DOS application to have direct communication with any of the peripheral ports. The easiest
solution is to create a Boot Disk and start your machine without Windows XP/Vista starting. Current production simulators are being sent out with a boot disk included, and we can send you one if necessary. However, you can make your own as follows:

You will need a floppy disk drive and a spare blank floppy disk. If your computer does not have a floppy drive, these are available as external USB drives for about £12.

Insert the floppy disk. Open Windows Explorer and right click on the floppy disk drive.
Select FORMAT. Choose the option "Format with system files" to create a bootable floppy. Just follow the prompts till completion.

Shut down your computer, insert the floppy disk and turn it back on again. When it's finished booting it will leave you in a DOS environment at the command prompt. If it tries to boot from the hard disk instead of the boot disk, wait until the option appears to press a certain key (usually the delete key) and enter SETUP. In the Setup, you can change the options so that the computer will boot from a floppy disk when one is inserted.

The screen should show the DOS command a:>

Now remove the Boot Disk from the floppy drive and insert the original CSM distribution disk.
Make sure that the write protect tab is off so that the disk can be written to (To do this, close the square hole in disk top right hand corner.)

To start the helicopter simulator type:

Heli10 (Press Enter key)

To start the aeroplane simulator type:

Aero10 (Press Enter key)

To start TXTest type:

Txtest (Press Enter key)

Please note that you may not be able to use the mouse. The keyboard can be used to access the menus and alter the parameters.

When you have finished with the sim, exit to operating system as usual, remove the boot disk and either just switch the machine off (OK as you are not in Windows) or hit the restart button to boot back into XP.

WINDOWS 2000, 2003 and NT
These operating systems are designed for use with networks and cannot run the Simulator. If you are on a computer that can be shut down, follow the instructions for Windows XP/Vista and run from a DOS boot disc.
