Important:

You can use the upgrade file below only for updating from v. 8.4 (with or without patches) to v. 8.5. If you have any version earlier than 8.4 installed, you must use the full version download. If, in this case, you are a registered user, make a backup copy of the file register.fsc which is located in the main FlightSim Commander directory. After installation of the full version 8.5 copy the file back to the main FS Commander directory.
Very important:

If you own the boxed or download version of FlightSim Commander distributed by Aerosoft, you cannot use the upgrade files on this page. Please go to the Aerosoft website (www.aerosoft.de) and download the upgrade file from there.
Important (only for unregistered users):
If you still own an old version such as 8.0 or 8.1 and plan to register with SimMarket, you must download and install the full version 8.5, since 8.0 and 8.1 can no longer be registered.

 
Full version: fsc85.zip
 

The file fsc85.zip contains an installation program which installs a trial version of FlightSim Commander v. 8.5. This trial version is fully functional, but the program will automatically terminate after 35 minutes. You can start FlightSim Commander again any number of times.

With version 8.3 we have changed the structure of help files so that now both manuals and help files are available in languages other than English. Note also that help files and manuals are now textually identical.

Currently English, German, French,  Italian and Spanish are available; other languages are in preparation. The Italian version was produced by Carlo Peloso and his team, the French version by Fabrice Erdinger, the Spanish version by Javier Guerrero. We express our deepest thanks for their efforts.

The file fsctutorial.zip explains the major program features by way of a sample flight.

DAFIF Files 31. August 2006 - 27. September 2006 (Cycle 0609)

DAFIF closes and Navigraph takes over!!!!

fscdafif0609.zip
Download the file  if you don't have access to the official DAFIF website or find it too cumbersome to download the original DAFIF database. The zip-file contains all extract files in the proper format that FlightSim Commander can read. That is, you don't have to run the Database Manager, but simply copy the files to the proper FlightSim Commander folder (default: \FSC\Database) .

Since DAFIF closed its public doors on October 1st 2006, this will be the last DAFIF Cycle to be released here. Future updates will be available at Navigraph. Please check their website for details on how to obtain the monthly updates.
 

IVAO Airspace File (January 2009)

fscivaodat.zip
This file contains the currently valid IVAO airspace structure and should be used by IVAO pilots and controllers.

The airspace structure used by IVAO is updated at irregular intervals to cope with changes in the real world. We thus advise users to check this page once in a while to see if they are using the correct airspace structure. If you notice discrepancies between what you see in FS Commander and what IVAO ATC tells you, this is probably due to the fact that you are not using the correct airspace file.

Unzip the file and copy the file fsc_ivao.dat into your \Database folder (default: \FSC\Database\) overwriting the currently existing file. As always it is good standard practice to make a backup copy of the current file before overwriting it.

AIBridge for private multiplayer online pilots

AIBridge.zip
José Oliveira's program AIBridge reads multiplayer traffic and feeds the aircraft data into Flight Simulator's AI traffic.  FlightSim Commander then displays multiplayer aircraft in the same way as ordinary AI aircraft. If you are using a private network, you need AIBridge in order to see the other players' aircraft.
IVAO and VATSIM pilots DO NOT NEED AIBridge, since both online organizations provide a TCAS feature which has the same effect as AIBridge. In the case of IVAO make sure that the option
Populate TCAS table at General/FSUIPC of the IVAP client is checked.

Some versions of the original AFCAD files which ship with AeroSoft Mega-Airport Frankfurt and London Heathrow 2008 sceneries are lacking entries which may lead to missing ILS information both in Flight Simulator and FlightSim Commander. Download the repair files to obtain proper ILS setups for these sceneries. Please read the enclosed readme file carefully. For owners of Mega-Airport Frankfurt and/or London Heathrow 2008 only.
