1 Aerodrome control tower simulator [pd] Deployment - connect the power supply plug - connect the USB mouse and possibly a USB keyboard - connect the headset (pseudopilot) or the loudspeakers (student) - connect the LAN cable between the laptop and the switch (use any port on the switch) power supply plug VGA cable to external monitor LAN cable to the switch USB mouse and/or keyboard Headset plugs earphones (left), microphone (right) Loudspeakers USB power supply Loudspeakers sound input (left) LAN cables to the laptops - in case the student s and the pseudopilot s position are in separate rooms (recommended), the LAN cables from laptops should be connected into dedicated network sockets at the desk - the network sockets shall be connected to the patch panel in server/technical room - the switch should then be placed in the server/technical room and connected to the related network sockets (there are 2 additional blue LAN cables in the package) switch power supply plug

2 Start-up and configuration - turn the laptops on and and wait until they boot into Windows - you may now connect the VGA cable with an external monitor, the following window will show up: - select the second option extended desktop (rozšíření in Czech) and select OK - you can change that setting any time later using the Windows context menu: - the screen resolution can be changed in the following menu if necessary:

3 Starting the simulator - voice communication is provided using the TeamSpeak application, TeamSpeak Server starts automatically with Windows on student position ( ) - before starting the simulator, start the TeamSpeak Client with the shortcut on the desktop: ts-pilot1 or ts-student1 - this link automatically connects the position into session1 channel, you can verify that in the TeamSpeak window - TeamSpeak is configured in the way, that the voice is transmitted when holding the ALT key - after connected to TeamSpeak, you can start the simulator by using the link on the desktop: TWRsim - LKTB - the simulator works in the master-slave mode, where PP position is the master (host) - after starting and initialisation of TWRsim application, select on student s position in menu: Configuration > Connect to host, this will interconnect the positions - after successfully connected, select on pseudopilot s position in menu: Exercise > Open command log and select an exercise to load - the exercises are located in the exercise folder under the following path: - the exercise is now ready to run, you can unpause it by pressing the pause button:

4 Ending the exercise - to load a new exercise, first select on pseudopilot position in menu: Configuration > Reset, which deletes all current aircraft and intended actions - you can then load a new exercise using the above mentioned steps (Exercise > Open command log) Tips and tricks - it is recommended to use the second radar window (map overview) on the extended desktop; you can open it by pressing the map button: - you can put the second window on full screen by pressing the F button - you can display the runway center line in the radar by holding the left mouse button in it and pressing F3 - clicking into the main radar screen gives focus to the command line - selecting an aircraft puts its callsign into the command line - route can be easily assigned by Shift-clicking into the radar; it is recommended to be properly zoomed-in in order to choose the correct point in case there are more of them located nearby - you can delete the whole route by entering FE, or just the current navpoint by FE 1 or the most recently added navpoint by FE -1 - other useful instructions and hints are mentioned in the pilot log

5 Command line All commands for aircrafts/vehicles must be preceded by its name i and separated by space. It is possible to enter multiple commands in a row, name i is then entered only once. Every entered command is copied to clipboard, so it can be easily used again.
