About FDC Live
Cockpit! 2011
With one exception, you should make all your settings in FDC Live
Cockpit! 2011 prior to connecting to the flight simulator. To perform
changes to the settings, you will have to disconnect from flight
simulator; an operation that will reset all flight parameters used to
detect the current phase of your flight (more on flight phases below).
The exception to this rule is ControllerX, which requires you to be hooked
up to the flight simulator to be able to detect the controller’s buttons.
Note! You can also adjust the volumes in FDC Live Cockpit! 2011
while you are connected to Flight Simulator by clicking the Volumes
button in the main FDC Live Cockpit! 2011 window.
