FlightSim Labs Support In this tutorial we will explain how to install SkalarkiIO Profiler to work with FlightSIm Labs Airbus line. Supported models are A319, A320, A321. |
SkalarkiIO Profiler 5.1 Installation for FlightSim Labs support
SkalarkiIO Profiler is an Application to allow the communication between SKALARKI hardware and the aircraft or the simulation software. All SKALARKI hardware can be used ONLY via SkalarkiIO Profiler and the dedicated digitally signed USB driver. The registering SkalarkiIO Profiler is mandatory and it is free of charge for Home Users. Any commercial aplication is allowed only after purchasing the related Licence. All the licences are available in our Online Shop here.
Installation
1. After downloading SkalarkiIO Profiler 5.1 run the installer.
Click "Next" to move to the next step.
You need to accept terms and conditions, then click "Next" to move to the next step.
3. Choose FlightSim Labs component to install. Click on a small blue arrow to open the context menu and pick "Will be installed on local hard drive" option.
Click "Next" button to move to the next step:
If you want to change the default Profiler installation folder, it can be done in "Installation Folder" tab. We strongly recommend to keep Profiler in the default location. Once done, click "Next".
4. Click "Install" to proceed with installation. Installer will install all the elements automatically.
When installation is completed, press "Finish" button.
There is no need to add or edit any files manually. Non of the files needs to be moved or copied to p3d folders.
Configuration
There is only minimal configuration needed in SkalarkiIO Profiler Settings. If you have static IP address for your PC, then please change the default one to the static. If you use DHCP, then leave default settings.
If you use DESKTOPLine TQ Box, then in SDK Calibration tab you need to calibrate your hardware. Make sure TQ is connected and USB driver Installed. Then move Lever to the position and click on corresponding button to save lever value. Repeat the same procedure for each lever and each detent in TQ.
FlightSim Labs
There is nothing special needed during FSL aircraft installation. The complete communication between SkalarkiIO Profiler and FSL aircraft is handled by the dedicated software provided by FlightSim labs. Hardware Interface Host can be downloaded from here.
2. Hardware Interface Host Configuration
To enable communication between Profiler and FSL Hardware Interface, please make sure the IP addresses are set correctly.
The Simulator IP is the IP of the machine where the simulator runs. If this is the same PC, then the default local host IP address can be left unchanged. But if the simulation runs on the remote PC, then you need to change it accordingly.
The same way Profiler URI needs to be set.
3. Hardware Interface Host Component Licenses
Once we have basic settings done, the details for licences should be provided. For each supported SKALARKI hardware module, different license is needed. Without the valid license, the hardware will not work. All the licenses are available from FSL website.
4. Hardware Interface Host Component Configuration
In the Component configuration, there is some more hardware specific setting. Please review them as well to match your hardware configuration.
All the controls, such as TQ Levers, Flaps, Spoiler need to be calibrated in the Hardware Interface application. You will not be able to use them without the calibration. The best option is to do it right after the new devices are installed.
