AIR³ 7.3+ has an integrated Fanet and Flarm module. To enable it for flying, you can either enable it with XCTrack, or with XC Guide.

WARNING: the module should be activated ONLY with XC Guide or with XCTrack. NOT both. The easy way is to enable it in XCTrack. In this case, make sure that it is not activated in XC Guide if you are using XC Guide in parallel.
You could also activate the module in XC Guide and then have XC Guide transmit the information to XCTrack through TCP, but this requires more complex settings.

So, to activate the module:

Once the module is enabled, a new line appears with the validity of the Flarm licence as well as the Fanet/Flarm ID. Check how to freely upgrade the FLARM licence through XC Guide in the XC Guide specific AIR³ features page.

Note that a GPS fix is required to work properly. Fanet&Flarm data are sent once the pilot is considered as flying.
