The Client plugin has the same features as the stand-alone Client but it runs directly inside the Flight Simulator window. So you don't have to start the Client manually and can easily access it from inside the FS. Currently it's still under development and for Windows there already is a public beta online. Versions for Mac and Linux (X-Plane) will follow soon.

Download

All the Client-Plugin beta-versions are included in the current stable release package.

Installation

The Client plugin comes with an installer which makes it easy for everyone to install the plugin. Just select "FS9 plugin", "FSX plugin" or "XP9 plugin" on the component selection page and it installs all the files automatically. If you have a broken FS installation it will ask you to point to the folder where FS9/FSX/XP9 is installed.
