This utility is meant to assist Flight Simulation Enthusiasts and Home Cockpit Builders using both Flight Simulator (FS) 2004 and FSX. Many features are also available for Project Magenta users (pmSystems, Glass Cockpit, CDU/MCDU, MCP/FCU) and AST users. Compatible with all types of aircraft! It is also a great tool for anybody who wants to control the flight simulator externally.

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

Our program has proven to be very successful amongst the PC Flight Simulation and Cockpit Building communities. Hundreds of aviation enthusiasts and professionals are using the Instructor Station all throughout the world: United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Netherlands, Luxembourg, Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Korea, Madagascar, Portugal, Romania, Greece, Australia, Hungary, Switzerland, South Africa, Mexico, Taiwan, Canada, Argentina, Norway, Russia, Austria, Japan, Sweden, Kuwait, Puerto Rico, Peru, Ireland, Finland, Denmark, Costa Rica, Saudi Arabia, Belgium ...

This is just some of the excellent feedback from our customers:

•   â€œI installed your Instructor Station on a networked PC and I like it very much. Every few months I visit full-flight simulators of LUFTHANSA flight training in Frankfurt, and the instructor stations of these simulators are very similar...”.
•   â€œExemplary support and Great Product!”
•   â€œYour software is very good! It is a real alternative to Project Magenta's instructor station!”
•   â€œI have tested your software with other add-ons (Sky Env., Ground Env., etc.) and it works very well!”
•   â€œYour program is excellent; I am a commercial airline pilot. I fly the ATR 42/72 for Farnair Europe.”
•   â€œWonderful and affordable flight instructor station software.”
•   â€œThe Weather setting is pretty cool & easy.”
•   â€œiStation is a lot of fun. As a pilot I appreciate all the features. It compares very well with the simulators we used at FLIGHT SAFETY.”

•   â€œYou have a great program, keep up the good work.”
•   â€œI think this is a great product. Absolutely love this.”
•   â€œThis is a good program and I can see how an Instructor Station would really benefit from it. I look forward to the next version.”
•   â€œAbout your great software Instructor Station, I can tell you that it is really similar to the A320 Full Flight Simulator one. […] I really think your software is an excellent tool for people like me; it helps your training as a pilot a lot.” (Airbus A320 pilot)
•   â€œI have been using your iStation for some time now and I just can’t get enough of it. […] By the way I just downloaded version 1.30 and I can’t wait to start using it. The feature for starting pmSystems seems to me terrific. Keep up the good work.”


5 of 5 Stars review @ FSPilotShop.com. Read it here: http://www.fspilotshop.com/product_reviews_info.php?products_id=2109&reviews_id=3952

This is quite a unique tool. No other program has so many features combined in one and offers the same flexibility for the price. Compared to it’s main competitors, our Instructor Station has the same features or more, but it’s price is more than 1o times lower!!! Plus, it is usable by the entire flight simulation community, not only cockpit builders!!!

Try it and see for yourself ! http://luisgordo.googlepages.com/instructorstation

WOW ! That's nice ! I'm using FlightDeckSoftware in stead of PM, do you think it would be possible to have it work with FDS ? FDS is using FSUIPC offsets...

I'll try the demo !

Great News Luis..  You might want to put the link for the video below the actual video.. For some reason the "EMBED" Option doesn't work on the news Forum..

EDIT!!!  OOPS never mind, the link is there..

Maxime,

Since FDS works on FSUPIC offsets, it should be perfectly compatible with the Instructor Station.

If you have further questions, please let me know.

Enjoy!

Best regards,

Thanks for the answers,

meteo, positioning, etc works fine but what I was asking is that for example the quick start up works on fds offsets so it is compatible with it too.

I can't get the network tab working Does the pc that runs the station needs to be in the pclist.txt ?

Thanks,

Maxime.

Maxime,

Sorry for the delayed response. I have been out of town for a while. Happy New Year!!

The Quick Start Up is not set to be compatible with Flight Deck Software. If there is enough demand, I will incorporate it in future versions.

As for the Network tab, no, the PC on which the Instructor Station is installed does not need to be on the "pclist.txt". Please email me (luisgordo@gmail.com), PM me or post your problems here or on our forum, and I will be glad to help you out.

Best regards,
Luis Gordo

I use FDS to but think this instructor station software looks very good. FDS has it's own instructor station on it's way and I have seen a early version of it. This I.S. have more extra functions and a more *bling* graphics of what I have seen from your screenshots.
I would like to see this working for FDS as well even though I have made my payment for the FDS instructor station.
Keep up the good work.
