# Getting Started with FDR Plugin

## Configuration <a href="#configuration" id="configuration"></a>

After starting SimFly Linker, on the FDR page, click install to complete the installation of the FDR plugin.

Once the FDR installation is complete, each of your normal flights (which need to last more than 5 minutes and the aircraft position must move more than 5nm), will generate an FDR file.
