Instructor Station - Luis Gordo

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.

OAT bug in iStation weather engine ????

A few days back I was testing the iStation weather engine with the iFly 737NG aircraft.
I noticed an unrealistic decrease in climb performance above somewhere 15000 ft.

After some googling I found that some weather programs might have an OAT bug
To check the change of OAT with altitude I added an OAT gauge to my iFly panel

Test setup
PC with W10 pro, FSX and iFly 737-800, TOW 62 ton
Notebook with W10 Home iStation v2.13nv connected to FSX using WideFS

1. Result with iStation weather
OAT keeps constant at the set groundlevel temp 12 degr C /54 degr F indepent of alt.
Then for example at an alt of 24000ft the iFly 737 climb performance is reduced to
~500 ft/min while EGT is 885.

2. Result with FSX build-in weather
OAT decreases with increasing heigh
Then  for example at an alt of 27000 ft OAT is -37 degr F and the iFly 737 climb
performance is ~1500 ft/min, while EGT is 637

Does anybody else have encountered this type of problem with iStation?
Is this really a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Hopefully somebody can help me out.

Thanks in advance

See you, Jan

Hi Jan,

I recommend you download and install the latest version (3.31nv).  This issue is solved.

Happy New Year!

Cheers,
Luis
