!!!!! IMPORTANT MUST READ !!!!!
Before installing OC4BA v2 , you must have :
1)
Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5
Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (X86)
2)
SIOC 5.0B5 or later directly installed in a folder named SIOC located under the same parent folder as your FSX main folder. The FSX main folder is where the FSX.exe is located.
Example: If FSX.exe is in D:\Games\FlightSim\FSX then Sioc.exe should be in D:\Games\FlightSim\SIOC.
If this is not the case, uninstall SIOC and reinstall to correct location, otherwise OC4BA v2 will not run properly.
3)
FSX with SP2 or Acceleration installed to a standard folder (best to avoid C:\Program Files (x86))
4)
PMDG B737NGX with SP1c installed and enabled the data communication output from the PMDG aircraft,
by opening the file 737NGX_Options.ini that is located in <FSX main folder>\PMDG\PMDG 737 NGX.
and have added the following two lines to the bottom of the file:
[SDK]
EnableDataBroadcast=1
5)
PMDG 777X with SP1 installed and have enabled the data communication output from the PMDG aircraft,
by opening the file 777X_Options.ini that is located in <FSX main folder>\PMDG\PMDG 777X.
and have added the following two lines to the bottom of the file:
[SDK]
EnableDataBroadcast=1
6)
When you have verified 1 - 5 above you can continue and unzip OC4BA v2 to any folder of choice.
7)
After you have read this "MUST READ OC4BAv2" several times and really understand what it is saying, you can continue and
run Setup.exe to install programs and files to SIOC folder

There you will find the latest and most updated scripts for OC4BA v2.
Read Recommendations to find the script that matches best your hardware setup.
Unzip script files to SIOC folder. Without script files your driver will not work!
9)
If exe.xml does not exists in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX:
Copy exe.xml from SIOC folder to C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX
!!<username> in path above must be changed to your username!!
10)
If an exe.xml file already exists for other addons in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX:

into exe.xml above the last line in the file. The last line in the file should be: </SimBase.Document>
NB. Be sure to save the file as exe.xml and NOT exe.xml.txt!!!
!! If you have any problems with OC4BA v2 doesn't show up in the Add-ons meny in FSX, edit the exe.xml
file in C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\FSX so that it points to the full OC4BA_Menu path!!
If you have bought the OCP4777X driver for PMDG 777X continue with item 11
