We have moved to integrate FSHub into VACs as the primary PIREP/Flight Tracking software, you do not have to use FShub if you do not wish, however, if you want to fly tours you will require it as this is what we use to validate you have flown the leg. We also have some stats and flight logs on your VACs pilot profile. Again if you want information to show then you will be required to use fshub and if not then it’s up to you.
Step 1
Visit https://fshub.io and click the download now button on the right side.
Step 2
While downloading, click “Register” on the top right and fill out the requested information. It asks for an email address and then will email you a link so you can create a password.
Step 3
Next, you need to join the group due to VAC already taken we have had to reserve. Not showing in the image but above Virtual Aero Clubs CAV you will see a blue button saying join. Click the button and follow any instructions and you will be accepted once we check your identity matches.
Step 4
Install the Landing Rate Monitor LRM like you would any other piece of software, once installed open click Edit and then Preferences.
My account is already linked you need to link your fshub.io account to the software.
Next close the preferences window and press the sync button may take a few attempts but you will then be able to select CAV Virtual Aero Clubs from the dropdown menu.
This will send all your flight data to the website, the downside is unless you remember to change it each time you fly it will send data on every flight you do regardless of whether it is a VACs flight or not. This is not important and does not really affect anything so you can if you wish change it or just leave it
You need FSUIPC7 in order for the LRM to work, you can get this free from https://www.fsuipc.com/ if running FS2020 you can just get the first link, note it will create a shortcut on your desktop to launch flight sim with FSUIPC7 delete this and just use the normal icon, LRM should say connected in green, if it does you should be good, any problems open a ticket on discord.
