Hi Everyone,

New member here.  I'm a new CFI and am wondering if anyone has setup a connection from InstructorStation to a remote X-Plane across the Internet?  I was evaluating if this may be a good option to help instrument students before they arrive onsite for training flights. I could probably setup a VPN connection to the student's PC but I'm sure most will not like that level of access to their computer and I don't need that liability.  I would prefer to have a way to just connect InstructorStation.  Thoughts or recommendations?

Thanks,

Wayne

Scott! happy to see you flying the real deal! The sims are looking awesome as usual just need an airbus sim now and you'll be all set! lol. 

Happy to see some familiar names and faces here again!  Hope everyone is doing awesome.

As for me, still with United, Captain flying the Airbus models. 319,320, 321.  Only 12 years left and going fast! Sim wise.. been into VR and military sims.  Have a single seater that I'm about to add motion to that I'm excited about.  I'll post some pics when it's up.

Well wishes to all!

Mike L

It links to a news article about some jackass named "Peter Gottlieb" claiming credit for Matt's amazing 747 flight simulator.

A PDF showcasing his project is linked in the article, so it's also possible that the "journalist" that wrote the article assumed that the PDF was created by the site owner...

Please feel free to throw rocks at that "supercarblondie" site...

This is disgusting! We all know the truth. 

Bonjour Jack!

Hi Nat...
Agreed !   

Can't beat 4K projection IF done well..

My 2cents:
If you have enough room (ie: fairly long distance between windshield and projection screens) keep the projectors.
TV screens have to be much closer to cover winshield and windows of the 74 and you will loose sense of depth.
(Repeat IMHO)

Hi Jon

Still kicking ?

Brings back memories. I used to use a TR182RG on trips from Denver to Montana on a regular basis.  It was back in the analog days but kept one sharp.  weather across Wyoming could be "interesting" and my IFR ticket got used on more than one occasion.
