"All files at one place at a glance"
General
The Download-Center (DC) delivers different categories of online ACV-files to ACV-members. The listed files can be downloaded by double-click or with right-click for opening the context menu and then by clicking the download entry on it. Do not forget to execute installer files after downloading them. ACV flights can only be flown with ACV aircraft. Therefore, you have to install the respective ACV aircraft liveries either by FanMod installer or by manual installation.
Sections Overview
The main sections of this window are:
- Settings/Exe-Parameters / [Open folder-path] button / [Livery Manual Installation] button
- Server Modi (Server/Local, Server only, Local only) regarding FSim selection
- Categories section, listing the specific files
- Colorous legend, self-explaining
- Download-buttons for semi-automized downloads, be aware, downloading all flightplans at once can take several minutes.
Categories
The following file categories are available:
- Checklists, look at this category to find the ACV-checklists to the specific aircraft. To most ACV aircraft are matching checklists existing.
- Aircraft, clicking that tab lists the available "FanMod Installers". FanMod installers contain ACV livery files and sometimes additional modification files. See the change-log files of the respective FanMod installer to get more information what will be installed.
- Sceneries, here are FanMod installers listed which contain scenery modification files to mod specific airports. See the specific change-log for further details.
- Flightplans, this category lists all flightplan files containing waypoint-routes to many of the available ACV bids/flights. These flightplans are optional.

installer files during execution. Depending on the pre-given VA rules some of these „ExeParam“ can be changed and some not.
