Introduction
Project Magenta produces Flight Simulation software designed to be run across a computer network. The
software is not intended to be used on a single computer. Primary usage is for flight simulators or flight
training devices. The software is available under two separate license schemes: Professional and Home-
User. Please contact Project Magenta sales for any form of professional usage / application. If in any doubt
it is better to check first rather than run into a licensing problem at a later date.
All of the Project Magenta software follows very similar install and set-up procedures. In order to use the
software some knowledge of flying or appropriate training manuals will be required further to this software
set-up manual. This manual will not in anyway discuss aircraft operations or training. It won’t (for example)
teach you how to operate a CDU or MCP. The software is highly detailed and requires that the user must
either have prior knowledge of a specific area or use the software in conjunction with appropriate training
manuals.
This manual has been split into various sections with new and advanced users of the software in mind. It
covers Install procedures, network and common software operation. In the later sections software function
specific to each software type is discussed. It is recommended that special attention is paid by new users to
the first sections as it can lead to serious set-up problems later on if these various tasks are not performed
and found to be working before the software is put into use.
As a general rule, none of the information herein and none of the software can be used for real world
aviation or navigation. The software is by no means to be considered complete concerning any of the
respective aircraft’s real systems and operation. The software is designed to give familiarization of those
a/c modeled.
Unless otherwise stated, the diagrams in this document refer to Windows XP. Note that depending on your
desktop style and theme differences may be apparent in your particular set-up.
Printing Information
This manual has been designed to be printed with a B/W printer. No colour printing is necessary.
