New features in FSFlyingSchool Pro 2015
NEW! - Enhanced Instructor Awareness!
Once again, we have made several incremental improvements to FSFlyingSchool, including new areas requiring the pilot's attention.
The ever watchful instructor Mr Smith is looking at each pilot's performance in even greater detail with the arrival of FSFlyingSchool PRO 2015. Here are some of the enhancements:
-
If you are about to land but are approaching the runway at excessive speed, Mr Smith will advise that you either do something about slowing down or go around.
-
Once you begin your take off run down the runway - get moving! Accelerate! Mr Smith knows the runway behind you is useless.
-
If you are coming in to land and you are not heading into the wind, Mr Smith is going to let you know!
-
Parking brake applied while moving? Mr Smith will have something to say about that.
-
Most larger aircraft use flaps for take off and even if Mr Smith is not directly familiar with the airplane, you'll get a reminder to check its procedures if flaps are not set at take off.
-
The autopilot is a very useful tool, but you don't need it for taxiing or at take off and Mr Smith knows this.
-
If stationary, engines should be started with the parking brake applied. If not, Mr Smith will give you some advice.
-
Ready for take off? ATC is expecting you to get going and so is Mr Smith. Don't just sit there on the runway.

NEW! - Log Book Screen displayed when flight ends
It's a small thing - but so convenient. When your flight is over, FSFlyingSchool's Log Book Screen is automatically displayed, so you can see at a glance how you performed.
NEW! - Explorer Pack Included
This exciting new pack contains a set of features that will have you exploring the world in your simulator!
-
Announce Nearest Airport (automatically)
Turn this on at the Pilots Screen of FSFlyingSchool and let your instructors automatically tell you full details on your nearest airport as you fly over or merely in the vicinity of each one. Reports nearest airport with its ICAO code (e.g. Kilo Lima Alpha X-Ray), bearing, distance, runway length. This works for airports within approximately 35 nautical miles of the airplane. If you are just flying around for fun and want somewhere "to go" or if you need to get down onto the ground in a hurry, this feature is a winner!
-
"Specify Airport" Voice Command
Say this command to let your instructor know that you are about to request information on an airport. Your instructor will confirm he/she is waiting with the response "Airport..."
Say the 4 letter airport ICAO code using the phonetic alphabet (e.g. Kilo Lima Alpha X-Ray). If you have announced the code of a valid airport, your instructor will confirm this by replying with its ICAO code, bearing, distance, runway length. This works for airports anywhere in the world. ICAO codes must contain only letters.
Very useful when used with the Explorer Pack's "Divert to Alternate" command when you want to fly to a specific airport and don't want to return to the Prepar3Dv2 flight planner or the FSFlyingSchool flight plan screen. And also for just getting general information! Now you can TELL your instructor where you want to go!
-
"Divert to Alternate" Voice Command
Simply say this command and your instructor will know that you have changed the FSFlyingSchool flight plan to fly to the last airport you requested information on. This works with any airport the instructor has described to you as a result of any of these commands: "Nearest Airport?"; "Airport [x] o'clock?"; "Specify Airport"
The instructor will respond with its ICAO code, bearing, distance, runway length.
-
"Next Runway" Voice Command
Simply say this command and your instructor will know that you have changed the FSFlyingSchool flight plan to land at the next (numerically listed) runway at the airport in the flight plan. You can say this several times if you wish in order to find the runway you want. The instructor will respond with details on the newly chosen destination runway. Very useful for changing to a better suited runway, especially if just directed to it by ATC.
Plus all the great features of FSFlyingSchool PRO 2014 for Prepar3Dv2
Advanced Approaches Pack
We all know we need to practise, practise, practise our approaches and landings. The On Approach features of FS Flying School Pro make setting up approaches to any runway in the world the work of only a few seconds. But now there's more! FS Flying School PRO 2014 includes the Advanced Approaches Pack which allows the pilot to set up increasingly complex approaches.
A new feature lets you set up an approach which intersects your final approach from any angle you choose. This was previously limited to 45 degrees. You can begin your approach at the start of the Downwind leg of the traffic pattern at any runway. Fly left or right traffic - the choice is yours! Optionally set the specific altitude of your approach using MSL or now AAL (Above Airfield Level) - very useful for quickly setting 'pattern altitude'. You can specify that only the slick 'detailed' airports supplied with Prepar3Dv2 will be included in random selection.
The Flight Plan screen includes a handy detailed diagram showing which approach types are available to set up with FS Flying School Pro 2014 at your selected runway. For those who like variety and challenges, the wind can now be set to a random strength and direction. This will keep you on your toes and is a great way to fly a whole host of very different approaches in minutes. Low visibility is always a challenge - now you can set it to a random distance that will automatically vary with each new approach! Who knows what you will be facing next time?
Interactive VOR Navigation Help
Instructor, Mr Smith, will be watching closely when you are navigating using VOR navigation aids. He will let you know the meaning of the different indications and instruments of your aircraft's VOR Indicator, such as the TO/FROM/OFF flag, the Omni Bearing Selector (OBS), and the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI).
You'll get this information as you fly and change settings and, of course, as the instruments themselves react to your flight path. He'll also describe at length the general aspects of the different elements of VOR navigation as you fly along.
Advanced Airmanship Challenges
Your instructor Mr Smith has a whole new set of challenges for you to master! Building upon FSFlyingSchool's popular Airmanship Challenge mode, Mr Smith will soon have you flying with great skill and precision.
Whereas all of the previous Airmanship Challenges were based on maintaining a heading, airspeed, altitude, pitch or bank, these new additional tests require the pilot to both set and maintain up to 4 different flight parameters at the same time!
"Turn to 273 degrees, while climbing to 5,200 feet and accelerating to 85 knots indicated airspeed".
Are you flying at this level of precision? Can you prove it? This is your chance to show Mr Smith you've got what it takes! In addition, the target values are now displayed on screen for easy reference.
