'test' Flight School Package Details

Flight School Package includes all licenses, keeps track of up to 300 students per license, and includes student management utilities. These utilities allow you to track the progress of all your students by viewing their individual progress chart. You can also view statistics on each license and see their average progress and number of students working on that license. The package may be used on a single computer or on a network. If used on a network, the students records are centrally located on the server. Unlike individual packages, the CD is not required in the drive during use.

Installation Instructions

The Flight School package can be used on a single computer or on a network. If you are not familiar with how your network is set up, please consult with your tech person.

If you are using it on a network, install the package first on your server, using the instructions below. The server will store the student records, the visual aids, and a copy of the program. Then install the program to each client. Remember that the server location may be named differently on different clients. For example, the folder 'c:\program files' on the server may be mapped as 'g' or called '\\Johnsoffice\c\program files' on the client. You can easily tell by using Windows Explorer on the client, browsing to that folder, and reading its title in the address box. This will also confirm that you have the permissions to access that folder from the client. Write this location down.

To install on each computer:

1. Uninstall any previous version of 'test' using START > SETTINGS > CONTROL PANEL > ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS. Also delete the 'test' folder using Windows Explorer or My Computer.

2. Insert CD into any CD ROM drive and click on START then RUN. (In the following instructions, substitute 'd' with the drive letter of your drive).

3. Type d:\setup.exe and click on OK. (You may also browse the CD drive for the file 'setup.exe' and double click on it from there.)

4. Run the package on each computer the first time. The program will ask you for your preferences: Screen Size, Registration Name, and Student File Location. When asked for the student file location, fill it in with what you wrote down for each computer, or leave it blank if you are installing it on a single computer.

The visual aids will be stored in the same folder location as the student records but in a sub-folder called 'images'. Each time you install the software on a client, it will go through the copy process. If the files have already been copied to the server, it will simply verify them, (much quicker than the initial installation). Please insure that you have at least 400 megs of drive space on your server.

Running the Package

Insure that the server is on. Click on the icon on the desktop. You may also run 'test' components separately through 'start > programs'. The CD is not required in the drive. The first time a student uses the package, he will create a logon for himself. To view all of your students' progress, log on with 'view'. (You can change this password later.)

If you encounter any problems please contact us at fly@tomvale.com and attach the files, 'testerror.log' and 'registration.txt' to your e-mail.
