FDS Hardware

1 General information

FDS provide specific hardware and generic hardware with both USB and LAN interface.

All FDS hardware is supported natively in the ProSim737 Suite.

For the specific hardware only the driver needs to be selected in ProSim737 System driver tab, ProSim737 System > Config > Configuration > Drivers.

Make sure there is no additional FDS/TekWorx driver or software running.

FDS hardware could be connected/split to secondary computer(s) and then linked to primary computer using ProSim737 Hardware Connector
