2. Develop your flight plan using your chosen planner.

Step 1 - Install Radar Contact
Installation is straightforward. Once you receive your CD, insert it into your CD Drive. If the
following screen does not automatically show, use your Explorer to find the rcv43.exe file,
which is located in the root-directory of the CD.
Double click on the RCv4 icon to start the installation process.
The following screen will appear. Check that you have other applications closed, then click
“next”.
The next screen will provide you with a copy of the RCv4 license agreement. Scroll through
it (it is not long), then click “I accept the agreement” option.

Click Next.
This will open the following “Select Destination Location” screen, which identifies where
Radar Contact v4.3 will be installed. It also identifies the amount of space that needs to be
available on your hard drive to accommodate the program. Once you are satisfied with the
location, click the “Next”.
The following screen will appear. Then pick the kind of installation that you want: a dropdown
box lets you choose the version of Flight Simulator (RCv4 works with FS2004 and/or
FSX).

The minimum installation option includes the program files, pilots and controller voices, and
two required interfaces between RC and FS: FSUIPC. After installation, check the website
(http://www.schiratti.com/dowson.html) for updates to this utility, written by Peter Dowson.
”Full” installation installs the files included in the minimum install button, plus, thousands of
chatter files which were recorded from real communications on the airways between pilots
and controllers. You do not have to install them; if you do not, you can use RC‟s own
generated chatter.
Clicking Next will be a “Select Start Menu Folder” screen.
Click on the “Next” option, which will lead to the following “Ready to Install” screen, which
summarizes the options selected in the earlier screens. If all is correct, click the “Install”
option. If you want to change parameters, click the “Back” option.

When you select the “Install” option, the following screen will appear. It provides you with a
status of the installation progress. While it installs, it might be a good time to go get a drink
since installation takes a few minutes.
When installation is complete, Radar Contact closes. Remove the CD from your computer
drive, go to your start menu, and open Radar Contact. The following screen will appear.
