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.

OAT bug in iStation weather engine ????

A few days back I was testing the iStation weather engine with the iFly 737NG aircraft.
I noticed an unrealistic decrease in climb performance above somewhere 15000 ft.

After some googling I found that some weather programs might have an OAT bug
To check the change of OAT with altitude I added an OAT gauge to my iFly panel

Test setup
PC with W10 pro, FSX and iFly 737-800, TOW 62 ton
Notebook with W10 Home iStation v2.13nv connected to FSX using WideFS

1. Result with iStation weather
OAT keeps constant at the set groundlevel temp 12 degr C /54 degr F indepent of alt.
Then for example at an alt of 24000ft the iFly 737 climb performance is reduced to
~500 ft/min while EGT is 885.

2. Result with FSX build-in weather
OAT decreases with increasing heigh
Then  for example at an alt of 27000 ft OAT is -37 degr F and the iFly 737 climb
performance is ~1500 ft/min, while EGT is 637

Does anybody else have encountered this type of problem with iStation?
Is this really a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Hopefully somebody can help me out.

Thanks in advance

See you, Jan

Hi Jan,

I recommend you download and install the latest version (3.31nv).  This issue is solved.

Happy New Year!

Cheers,
Luis
