Java Virtual Machine Options

The Flight Trainer requires 1.4 or higher of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM).  The Flight Trainer is delivered using two different installers one which includes version 1.4 of the JVM and the other which does include the JVM.  The later assumes that you hve installed the correct JVM yourself.

  • Includes a Java Virtual Machine - this download includes the Flight Trainer along with the required version of the Java Virtual Machine. The installer determines if the correct version of the JVM is already installed on your machine. If the Flight Trainer installs a copy of the JVM, the JVM is only available to the Flight Trainer.
  • We recommend that you use the  Get Java(TM) Technology installation so your web browser(s) and other Java applications can also take advantage of the latest JVM.

  • Without a Java Virtual Machine - this download assumes you already have the correct JVM installed and will install the Flight Trainer using the already installed JVM  This approach makes the latest and greatest of the JVM available to all other Java applications and web browsers on your computer. It does require more effort on your part. The details of this approach is found here.
