Instructor Station

[luisgordo]

Current Version available is 1.30. New version to be launched soon!! Version 1.30 includes the following new features:

- Real-Time data plots.
- Export data to Google Earth: Track your aircraft's flight path in Google Earth's 3-D environment (see image below). The exported KML file can be used for display in Google Earth, Maps and Mobile, or any other 3D earth browser (geobrowser) implementing the KML encoding.
- Enhanced professional look, including colors for eye-relaxing view in reduced-light ambients (cockpit instructor stations).

The INSTRUCTOR STATION is meant to assist PC Simmers and Home Cockpit Builders using FS2004 (and FSX). Also many features are available for Project Magenta users (pmSystems, Glass Cockpit, CDU/MCDU, MCP/FCU). Compatible with all types of aircraft! It is also a great tool for any simmers who want 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 popular 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...

- "I 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...".
- "Exemplary support and Great Product!"
- "Your software is very good! It is a real alternative to Project Magenta's instructor station!"
- "I have tested your software with other add-ons (Sky env., Ground Env., etc.) and it works very well!
- "Your program is excellent; I am a commercial airline pilot. I fly the ATR 42/72 for Farnair Europe."
- "Wonderful and affordable flight instructor station software."
- "The Weather setting is pretty cool & easy."
- "I run both FS9 and FSX, but mostly FS9 and am glad iStation performs in both."
- "I think this is a great product. Absolutely love this."
- "This is a good program and I can see how an Instructor Station would really benefit from it. I look forward to the next version."

Looks good Luis, the demos offered is it fully functional? If so what is the trial time it will run for? Can try it out for a week or so, before buying it 3 minutes is barely enough time to even really begin to try it.Maybe a special trial just for Cockpit builders members? Just sayin

Looks really, really good. How compatible is it with FSX and is a moving map going to be available in the future?

Thanks,

I bought this software two weeks ago, and have had some time to play with it. And in my opinion it is worth every penny. This is the best deal out there to get a functional instructor station for very reasonable money.

I have not tried some of the more advanced functions yet, but so far I am very happy with this program.

Go get it before someone else does

Hi Tim,

Nice to see you around here... btw, did you start building again after selling your nice A340?

I may increase the demo run time somewhat, as I do admit it may not be long enough to evaluate. It will not happen though until the next version is launched.
Then again, you are not buying a super-expensive-glass-cockpit-type-software (not giving any names here!). Many of our knobs and switches are already more expensive than the Instructor Station! 

Nice site Trev... keep it up!

Regards,
Luis

Hi Maurice,

As far as I have been able to test, it is fully compatible with FSX. Many people are using it with FSX and are very satisfied.

A moving map is something that is already part of the next version. Actually, Google Earth is what is used. Currently you can export Navaids (fixes, VORs, NDBs,...) so you can track your FS flight in Google Earth as it progresses. This adds the possibility of tracking in a 3D environment too!

Let me know if you have further questions.

Regards,
Luis
