2. Step by step use of FSAcars

2.1. Choose a company interface
- 0) & ) & * ) ) ) - & &/
The drop down list allows choosing between one of the companies with the private settings
explained in the section 6. If you don’t see the company in the drop down list: Push the “New
company”. This will present you with a wizard. If during the wizard you don’t put any ICAO for
1/33
the company the options will affect the private flights. The private flight is for flights without any
company ICAO and the options will be stored in a separated file. The options are explained
bellow in the manual.
