ACVacars Download-Center, tab "Checklists"

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.
