Title: Free 737 Instructor Station Software
Post by: diegov on July 10, 2012, 05:10:09 PM
Hi Fellow Cockpitbuilders,

I love free stuff, and also like sharing free stuff. So here something I had been working on earlier in the year and thought i should post now before i forget.

Here is a very basic 737 Instructor Station application which by no means will compete with any professional commercial product out there. This is suited for the home pilot who needs minimal functionality. So whats included:

Set approach and take off locations.
Set weather and time of day.
Set failures (only a few working at the moment).

Best of all the interface is browser based so you can access this all from your IPAD!

How does it work?

UnRar the file from here: http://www.sendspace.com/file/bdghp5 (http://www.sendspace.com/file/bdghp5) to a directory on your FSX machine. Open InstructorStation.exe. This will launch the "server" component. Then through your browser, browse to the ip address of your FSX computer. Its that simple.
A few notes: This is Alpha, so things might (actually probably) won't work. It is unfinished. I may not finish it. It will never encompass higher end commercial Instructor Station functionality. However if you dont mind an unfinished product and the price (free), give it a try! I will attempt to fix bugs so feel free to post these, but will not add any new features in the short term.

Happy Flying!

Diego
