Welcome

Instructor Station - Luis Gordo

ISLOGO

What is Instructor Station™ ?


In flight simulation, an Instructor Operator Station (IOS) is designed to assist the instructor in controlling the simulation training environment and monitoring all aspects of pilot/crew performance in the simulator. The instructor can control, via this software, all functions such as aircraft position and systems, meteorological, environmental, and situational parameters.


The Instructor Station™ is meant to assist Aviation Professionals, Flight Simulation Enthusiasts and Home Cockpit Builders using Microsoft® Flight Simulator (FS) 2004™, FSX™ and ESP™, Lockheed Martin Prepar3D® and X-Plane®.


The Instructor Station™ allows setting the aircraft on an approach to a runway of choice under any weather conditions, start-up and shutdown network computers (fully customizable), program or set aircraft system failures at any moment, calculate the amount of fuel required for a flight and load it to the aircraft, record flight performance (approaches, manoeuvres, landings, take-offs, etc.) and plot it graphically, and many other things!


Compatible with all types of aircraft! It is also a great tool for anybody who wants to control the flight simulator externally.

Many features are also available for Project Magenta users (pmSystems, Glass Cockpit, CDU/MCDU, MCP/FCU), AST & FMGS JeeHell users.


Developed by a pilot, engineer & flight simulation enthusiast.

WideView weather issue - how to propagate weather in multi-client configuration

We are using WideView to control the visual client computer from a host. (P3D on both) But we have shut down the weather update function because it causes a terrible stutter at each iteration of the update cycle (typically polls every 15 seconds).  Is there a way to have iStation update the weather directly via FSUIPC on each host and client without relying on WideView weather engine to propagate the weather?
The real solution would be for WideView to only push weather updates when changed at the IOS.  Not on a periodic basis.  Any solutions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

For WideView weather transfer to work you need to install and configure "FS Real World Weather".  FSGRW transfers weather independent of WV via a "network bridge".  Synchronization and smoothness is excellent!

Fred - did you mean to say that an alternative to WideView is the FSrealWX product?  Because WideView does have a built in weather engine that propagates weather to the other P3D clients, it just does not work well for me.  I just downloaded FSrealWX and will review.
Thanks,
Jim

Fred - just installed and it is a totally standalone application that can't be run within P3D or from an instructor station (IOS) application.  That makes it not useable in a training environment.

Navy Mustang..

To be sure....You want FSGRW (FS Global Real Weather).  You may be looking at a different program.
