The three ProSim-AR suites (737NG, 737MAX and A320) are complex software suites that interact with many different third party hardware interfaces. Occasionally you may find you need additional support to troubleshoot a difficulty you run into.

ProSim-AR provides support in two ways:

1 The ProSim-AR Forum

The quickest place to get answers is the ProSim-AR Forum, a thriving community of ProSim users always ready to share their knowledge. You'll also find ProSim developers will often contribute, and many of the hardware suppliers also have a dedicated presence in the forums for more specific hardware-related questions.

3 Support files

Each module creates several config and log files located within the module's root folder. Below is a short overview of these support files.

Note that not all the following files are created by each module. Some are only applicable to specific ProSim modules.

Filename Description
Config.xml All ProSim modules will store their configuration in a file called config.xml.This file contains all the selected options.
Cockpitsetup.xml ProSim stores the various cockpit configurations in this file. The configurations can be changed in the 'Cockpit Setup' tab of the instructor station.
Positions.xml ProSim stores preset positions in this file. Preset positions can be stored in the “Setup” tab of the instructor station.
Translations.xml ProSim stores position translations in this file. Translations can be configured in the 'Setup' tab of the instructor station.
Companyroutes.xml ProSim stores all company routes in this file. Company routes are managed in the CoRoutes tab of the instructor station.
Transitionaltitudes.xml This file contains the transition altitudes for all global airports. It is only read by ProSim and distributed in the main package.
log-(module name).txt The log-(module name).txt file and log-(module name)_x.txt files contain logging information about the running system. ProSim system rotates log-(module name).txt into log-(module name)_1.txt when the file is full, so only the most recent logs are kept.
Crashlog.txt The Crashlog.txt files contains logged internal exceptions from ProSim737 System. Always include this file when reporting an issue to the support.
