Software Installation
Driver and application software “VRiSim” is installed to make GPS-5 work in the PC.
VRiSim is application software managing VRInsight's flight simulation hardware panels. Multiple
hardware panels can be used with single instance of VRiSim. To reduce distributing file size, software
installer is supplied as divided package; base-package and device specific module package. The
base-package installs only VRiSim and Panel Installer utility.
Installer executable is divided into base package and device specific modules. VRiSim is included in
the base-package setup installer, "Install_VRiSim.exe".
Base-Package Installer:
The base-package installer can be found in the supplied DVD,
\VRiSim\Install_VRiSim.exe
Device Specific Module Package Installer
The GPS-5 module installer can be found in the supplied DVD,
\VRiSim\Install_GPS-5
Or downloaded at VRInsight's web-page, http://www.vrinsight.com
NOTE: Software installation is explained “VRiSim.pdf”. You can find this document file at program
folder of “VRinsight”
