Installation
Install the 41aero Ground control panel and its ground equipment, and connect them to Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.
41aero Ground comes in two parts: the ground equipment, which loads into the sim, and the control panel, a desktop app for Windows that runs it. One purchase covers both, and you install them together.
Requirements
41aero Ground runs wherever MSFS 2024 runs. These are Microsoft's minimum PC specs for the sim:

Install
- Sign in and open your library. Your 41aero Ground licence is listed there once your purchase goes through.
- Download the installer. [TODO: file name and size]
- Run it and follow the steps. It installs the control panel and copies the equipment package into your MSFS 2024 Community folder. [TODO: confirm the install steps and where the equipment package goes]
- Start MSFS 2024, then open 41aero Ground from the Start menu.
Licence The control panel asks you to sign in with your 41aero account the first time it opens. Your licence is for one PC. If you replace your PC or its main hardware, open a support ticket and we'll move it for you.
Updates
The control panel checks for updates when it starts and tells you when one is ready. Updates to 41aero Ground are included with your licence. [TODO: confirm how updates are delivered]
Uninstall
Uninstall 41aero Ground from Windows Settings › Apps. This removes the control panel and the equipment package. The airports you set up are kept, so they're still there if you install again. [TODO: confirm where airport setups are stored]
