Using CLS2Sim with different simulations

Selecting simulators during installation

When installing CLS2Sim, the user can choose which simulator software they want to use the Brunner hardware with.
At the end of the installation the installer will automatically start the plugin installers for each simulator selected previously.

Adding simulators after installation

If CLS2Sim is already installed, in the installation path (Default: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Brunner Elektronik AG\CLS2Sim") there is a subfolder called "Simulator plugin installers" where the plugin installer for each supported simulator can be manually started.

X-Plane

To connect to X-Plane you MUST BE ON THE RUNWAY.
You cannot connect from the main menu or when being in any settings dialog.
Open the "Simulator plugin installers" folder in the installation directory.

If you are running X-Plane on Windows, run the file "X-Plane plugin installer.exe" on the machine running X-Plane.

If you are running X-Plane on Linux, unzip the file "CLS2Sim X-Plane plugin for Linux.zip" and follow the Installation instructions in the file "Installation.txt"

When asked for the install location, select the X-Plane installation directory.

DCS World

Open the "Simulator plugin installers" folder in the installation directory.
Run the file "DCS World plugin installer.exe" on the machine running DCS World.

How to get DCS running with CLS2Sim.

8. Set Amount of force to 10% for starters. Increase to your liking.
9. Apply profile and close profile manager.
10. Unpause in DCS and push the plane to its limit for turbulences, or shoot the plane's gun to feel the joystick kick.
11. If you deactivate hydraulics in the profile manager, the joystick will react to airspeed change.
