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.

Hi Luis,

The Phillips Hue Integration... Idea is a great idea..  However, I am wondering if there is any way to get the same thing except instead of controlling HUE, Could it Populate an FSUIPC Offset?  0= Excellent Landing 1= Pretty Hard Landing 2= Possible Damage 3= Crash ?

Thanks,

Trev

Hi Trev,

Yes, I suppose it is definitely possible - only thing to think about is how to define which FSUIPC offset to use... maybe user definable?

Currently, the Landing Rating System used by Instructor Station™ is defined as follows:


  • Excellent Landing: Touchdown occurs at less than 100 FPM and less than 1.6 Gs. Lights will turn green at touchdown, and turn off after 30 seconds.
  • Normal Landing: Touchdown occurs above 100 but at less than 600 FPM, and at more than 1.6 but less than 1.8 Gs. No lights will turn on.
  • Hard Landing: Touchdown occurs at or above 600 but less than 840 FPM, and at or above 1.8 but less than 2 Gs. Lights will turn amber at touchdown, and turn off after 30 seconds.
  • Very Hard Landing: Touchdown occurs at or above 840 FPM, and at or above 2 Gs. Lights will turn red at touchdown, and turn off after 30 seconds.



Cheers,
Luis

Thanks Luis. User selectable would be nice unless you convince mr Dawson to assign you a few.
