Before you Start...

This guide is written assumming that you will have two computers. One running FS and one running the
avionics. We'll refer to them as FS Computer and Avionics Computer.
(However the procedure will be similar if you are running on a single computer or multiple computers.)
Set Realistic Expectations

Flight simulation has progressed rapidly over the last few years with the release of many pieces of 'plug and
play' hardware and numerous addon software utilities.
All of these amazing products allow us to bring a taste of a high fidelity flight simulator within our reach,
something that use to only be available to airlines and large companies due to their expense and complexity.
With the correct hardware and software you will quickly be able to replicate a highly detailled, amazing
looking flight simulator that will fully immuse you into the flightdeck.
However....
Please remember, to achieve this you will need to become familiar with setting up a basic computer network,
learning how to interact with many software programs, and how to diagnose simple problems.
It will take a little time to get everything adjusted 100%, but whether you are building a full flightdeck or
adding some additional monitors and switches, the satisfaction you will feel after building, configuring and
flying your own flight simulator will be well worth it.
11th March 2014
Pre-Requisits
Setup your computer network :
Bearing that in mind, your first task is to create a Local Area Network (LAN) and get your FS
Computer and Avionics computer talking. This is not as difficault as it sounds and more information
on networking can be found here......
http://www.wikihow.com/Configure-Your-PC-to-a-Local-Area-Network
It is important to assign a STATIC IP Address to all of your simulator computers.
Connect and Setup your Jetmax Monitors:

You need to connect the computer monitors in your Jetmax to the Graphics card outputs on your
Avionics computer. This usually consist of 4 connections:
Monitor 1 : Primary Flight Display (PFD) /Navigation Display (ND)
Monitor 2 : Upper Engine Display / EICAS
Monitor 3 : CDU
Monitor 4 : Lower Display / MFD
If you right-click on the Windows desktop and select Screen Resolutions you will see the multiple
monitors connected to your computer. You should see 4 monitors.
Do not proceed until your computer has sucessfully detected all of the monitors.
This dialog also lets you arrange and set the resolution of each monitor.
You should arrange your monitors 1-4 as per the picture below.
Note how the tops of the monitors are all inline and the resolution is set to the 'native /recommended
resolution' for the selected monitor.
As a guide, these would be :
Screen 1 resolution should be = 1366 x 768
On monitors 2-4 select Extend desktop to this monitor from the 'Multiple Displays' dropdown.
On monitor 4 we recommend that you set 'Orientation' to Portrait Flipped.
This is because the lower display has to be mounted with a 90 degree rotation for sizing. Portrait
flipped will rotate the graphic display so that the top of the display references the top of the physical
monitor.

Showing Portrait Flipped mode
Tip : Use the Identify button to check the screen positions.
Note : The actual CDU screen will come on during the Installation process, not before.
11th March 2014
Before Installation
Below are listed the Programs and download locations of the software required to setup your JetMax.
There is an initial setup that is documented below, and once this has been completed a Jetmax Launcher
icon will be placed on your desktop.
The setup steps have been listed in a logical sequence, but you are able to go back and make adjustments
at any time.
Download the Required Software

On the FSX/P3D computer you need to Install :
1. FSX or Prepar3D
2. Registered FSUIPC + WIDESERVER
For FS9, FSX and P3D you will need a licenced version of FSUIPC4.
This is used to interface data between the Flight simulator and the Sim-Avionics software.
Many other pieces of addon software for flight simulator also use this interface and it also contains
some very useful joystick calibration and configuration tools.
FSUIPC can be downloaded here : http://fsuipc.simflight.com/beta/FSUIPC4.zip
FSUIPC for FSX/P3D purchased here : http://secure.simmarket.com/pete-dowson-fsuipc4.phtml
The Sim-Avionics Server application needs to communicate with the Flight Simulator, and it is
possible to run the Server application on the same computer as Flight Simulator, however for ease of
access and to not restrict Flight Simulators performance it is recommended that you run the Server
application on the Avionics Computer (or an additional seperate networked computer).
To run the Server on the Avionics Computer you will also require a licenced version of WideFS.
WideFS for FSX/P3D purchased here : http://secure.simmarket.com/pete-dowson-widefs7.phtml
For information : WideFS can be downloaded here : http://fsuipc.simflight.com/beta/WideFS.zip
(A version of the WideFS client is included in the Jetmax Installer, but you will need to install and
register WideFS on the FS Computer)
Please refer to the WideFS Installation and setup guides if additional information is required.

Starting the Jetmax for a flight

Before your first flight you should :
Run FSX / P3D
Select the Sim-Avionics 737 aircraft
load required fuel
Start the engines
Save as default flight
Start the Avionics Computer
Click on the Jetmax Launch icon on the desktop to launch the avionics
19
11th March 2014
Server Configuration
The Server is the heart of the system and has a number of configuration options available to you.
General Server options can be found on the Server > Control Panel Tab
(Settings saved automatically when the Server is closed)
Aircraft Specific Options can be found on the Server > Aircraft Detail Tab
(Settings saved via the Aircraft Specific > Save Aircraft menu)
Some of the more frequently changed items are listed below:
System Logic
By default the Server will be ready to go as a 737 / 777 depending on your package and the aircraft systems
will be Forced to ON meaning you can start flying instantly as soon as you start the programs.
This is great for a quick start, but also means that you cannot use the Overhead.exe User interface to control
the systems manually.
If you want to control the systems manually then you will need to UN-CHECK the Force All
Systems ON checkbox on the Control Panel Tab.
Start with IRS Aligned

This checkbox is found on the Control Panel Tab and is used to override the IRS logic.
If the Checkbox is OFF you will need to align the IRS's using the Aft Overhead panel and set the initial
position in the CDU POS INIT Page before the PFD and ND are fully available.
If the Checkbox is ON the IRS's are always aligned and allows you to start flying a bit quicker.
Weight in KG's or LB's

This option is found on the Aircraft Details tab and sets the weight unit used on the EICAS and in the CDU.
** Remember to 'Save' this change.
Flight Director Wing Mode

This sets the PFD Flight Director style to the single cue 'wing' format.
Alternate 737 Engine Display

This displays additional engine parameters on the EICAS display. This display option is use by some airlines.
Display Clock Info on PFD/ND

This enables clock information to be displayed at the bottom of the PFD.
The time can either show as Real UTC (derived from the pc clock) or FS UTC.
The FS UTC format is selected on the Control Panel Tab > Use FS UTC Time
20
11th March 2014
Setup your Yoke and Pedals

Additional FlightSim Controls Configuration
We've added tools to keep the 'Jetmax' hardware configuration as simple as possible, but you will still need
to assign and calibrate your own yoke/joystick and pedals within the Flight Simulator.
These can be assigned via the standard FS controls or via FSUIPC controls.
We recommend using the FSUIPC control because this allows you to set null zones and control curves to set
the charateristics to your liking.
It is especially important that your RUDDER pedals are assigned via FSUIPC because this will allow for the
crossover between Steering Tiller and Rudder control as the airspeed increases.
These axis are assigned in the menu FSUIPC > Assign Axis (tab)
Once assigned they are then calibrated on the Joystick Calibration (tab)
Please refer to our Jetmax Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) section on the Jetmax website:
www.jetmax.ca
Additional Information
TCP_Client.exe
This module is used to communicate between the Sim-Avionics Server application and Sim-Avionics Clients.
It is automatically started when ever a client program is started.
As the Clients are running on the same computer as the Server the TCP_Client IP Address should be
127.0.0.1 to reference the local computer loopback IP Address. (So that it talks to the same computer)
No Action is required after running the Jetmax Installer
Restart_Client.exe
This module is installed onto the FlightSim computer during installation and can be used to trigger a
shutdown of the FlightSim computer from the CDU at the end of a session.
The program is automatically added to the Startup menu, so it will run when the computer starts, but if
you want to use this functionality you will need to edit :
\Sim-Avionics\Restart_Client\CONFIG.ini
and set the SERVER_IP_ADDRESS to your Avionics Computer IP Address.
This is also the IP Address that is displayed on the 'Server' Main Tab.
[SETTINGS]
SERVER_IP_ADDRESS=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
<--- Avionics Computer IP Address
The Restart_Client will need to be closed and restarted for the new IP Address to take effect.
The Restart_Client.exe doesn't have a visble window and sits in the systray on the bottom right of your
taskbar (near the clock). Right-Click on the icon and select Exit to close.
21
11th March 2014
Fine Tuning Display Positions

The Monitor Setup Utility positions the display onto the correct screen, but some manual adjustment maybe
require to position the display exactly within the panel opening and for the optimal viewing angle.
Adjustments are made via the keyboard and mouse.
To adjust a display :
1. Use the mouse to 'click' on the display that you want to adjust.
2. Press the 'A' key to switch to Adjustment mode. (A green box will be draw around the display)
3. Using the Arrow keys you can move the display.
4. Using the NumPad + and keys you can adjust the size of the display.

Test the Throttles
Move the Left Throttle and observer the Left engine power setting on the EICAS.
Move the Right Throttle and observer the Right engine power setting on the EICAS.
Pull the Reverse Thrust Levers up and observe the engines engage into REV
Test the Flaps
Move the Flap lever to position 1

The Flap 1 light on the Flaps gauge should start to flash. This means that the flaps
are moving towards position 1. When the flaps reach position 1 the light will stop
flashing and remain lit.
Move the Flap Lever to position 5
The Flap 1 light on the Flaps gauge should start to flash. This means that the flaps
are moving away from position 1. The Flaps 2 light will then start to flash as the flaps
approach the flaps 2 position. The Flaps 5 light will then start to flash as the flaps
continue towards the Flaps 5 position.
When the Flaps reach Flaps 5 the light will stop flashing and remain lit.
Continue testing the remaining Flaps positions to Flaps 40 and confirm with the Flaps lights.
Then return the Lever to the UP position.
If no lights are lit on the Flaps gauge then the Flaps are in the UP Position.
Test the Speedbrake/Spoilers
Press the MFD SYS button on the main panel above the EICAS display to display the Flight
Controls synoptic page on the Lower Display.
Move the speedbrake lever fully backwards and you should see the spoilers deploy on the
Lower Synoptic.
Move the speedbrake lever fullt forwards to stow the Spoilers.
** On the Ground it is not possible to fully test the speedbrake, this needs to be done in the
air, but if the spoilers deploy then we know the lever is working.
Test the TO/GA and A/T Disconnect buttons
Place you right hand on the throttle levers.

The TO/GA buttons can be found just below your index and middle fingers.
The Auto Throttle (A/T) disconnect buttons can be found in the ends of the throttle knobs and
pressed with you thumb.
There are 2 TO/GA buttons and 2 A/T disc switches, which allows both the Captain (using his
right hand on the throttle) and the F/O (using his left hand on the throttle) easy accesss.
Either of the TO/GA or A/T Disc buttons can be pressed you're not required to press both.
