 + 
 +**1.** First turn on this feature. Find **Broadcast Flight Info to IP Address** and switch the setting to **"ON"** 
 + 
 +**2.** On your secondary device, download the free app **ForeFlight** or your preferred app that is capable of receiving flight data over an IP network (LAN or Home Network). **Note** - In this demo we will use ForeFlight on an iPad. 
 + 
 +**3.** Set the **Broadcast IP Address** to your local IP address range, changing the last part to **255**. **Note** - If the local IP address of your PC is 192.168.2.212, you should set this setting as 192.168.2.255. To locate your PC's IP address, go to your command line (CMD), and type: ipconfig /all. 
 + 
 +**4.** The **Broadcast Port should remain the default 49002** 
 + 
 +**5** Insure that your secondary device is on the same local network as the PC that you are running Aerofly FS 2 on. 
 + 
 +**6.** Set up your flight as you normally would. 
 + 
 +**7.** Start the ForeFlight app (or your preferred app). To verify your connection is a success (ForeFlight) click on the bottom tab that says "More", find "Devices". You should see a box showing Aerofly FS 2 is connected. **Note** - You should familiarize yourself with the application you are using. ForeFlight provides you with many free features that work well with Aerofly FS 2.
