Download Cockpit Manager
Free, with every feature, for AIM boards and your own DIY boards (those take a key, which you can get free). Install it, pick your airframe and simulator on the Home page, and the setup wizard takes it from there.

What you need
- Windows 10 (21H2 or newer) or Windows 11, 64-bit.
- DCS World 2.9 or newer, or Falcon BMS 4.37 or newer (4.38 or newer is recommended for cockpit displays).
- For AIM boards: a wired Ethernet port for the cockpit, and an 802.3at (PoE+) switch.
- For DIY boards: a free USB port per board, and a cable that carries data.
Installing
Run the installer. The manager runs as a normal user; setting up the cockpit network for the first time asks for one elevated step, and the manager walks you through it. After that it updates itself.
Building with your own boards?
Setting up DIY boards and DIY displays takes a key: free, or pay what it's worth to you. Invictus hardware never needs one.
