h2. Air Observer Downloader

* Once the installer has finished, go back to the original zip file you downloaded and find the file *after install/AO_MLR.exe*. This must be copied *over* the one the installer put in the install location (eg _C:\Program Files\TiltTech\AO_MLR Downloader\AO_MLR.exe_)
* Copy the two files *loggers.tsv* and *tasks.tsv* to the location where you plan to eventually save your output .igc files.
* Now you can run the downloader\! The installer should have put a shortcut in your start menu.
* Set the location where the eventual output files will be saved.
* Plug in the Air Observer, it does not need to be switched on.
* If windows asks for a USB driver you must now install it... A wizard will open, manually select the *3-USB Driver* folder in the zip file you downloaded.  The wizard should find the correct files and install them onto your computer.
* The Air Observer should now download automatically.
* Note that it is MUCH easier and faster to download Air Observers when the ID of each one has been saved and a task window has been set.
* See Annex 2 of the [appropriate CIMA approval document|http://www.fai.org/microlight/flight_recorders]  for full downloader instructions.
