DOCUMENTATIONActivating the Aircraft
The Miltech Simulations U-2 uses a lightweight activation and version control system to make sure your product license is valid and always up to date.
An active internet connection is required on initial activation of the aircraft. After this, the aircraft can be used offline for a period of time. Our system will automatically check your license from time to time.
Activation by Store
Depending on where you purchased the product, activation may differ:
| Where you bought it | Activation |
|---|---|
| MiltechSimulations.com / Contrail App | A serial key is generated and automatically entered into the product. Under normal circumstances, activation happens silently and without user input. |
| iniBuilds / BlackbirdSim.com | A serial key is provided at the time of purchase. Copy and paste this key into the aircraft's popup activation panel upon first simulator load. |
| MS Marketplace | No activation key is required. The product activates automatically through the simulator platform. |
Common Activation Issues
If the product fails to activate correctly, it may present in one or more of the following ways:
- The Multi-Function Displays (MFDs) appear completely black.
- Error messages appear on one or more avionics screens upon loading the aircraft.
- The activation prompt does not accept a valid key or does not respond.
Need help? If you experience any of these issues, or have a setup that prevents activation from working correctly, contact our support team at contact@miltechsimulations.com. Include your purchase information and a brief description of the problem. We're here to help.
