Reviewer Joe Lavery calls FSFlyingSchool a "...brilliant idea and one that works very well..." Since the product's release in Dec 2006, FSFlyingSchool has released 7 new revisions, each one free to existing customers, which have added major features such as support for FSX and much more - FSFlyingSchool constantly improves this product. Here are just some of the features… • A team of Flight Instructors who talk to you, giving you immediate, detailed advice on your flying technique. • Unique scoring system rates all phases of flight: taxi, take off, cruise, approach, landing and much more. • Fly a whole flight or just practice landings - you always receive a detailed score. • Your flights and their scores are tracked in full detail in your own FSFlyingSchool logbook. • Submit your best scores to the FSFlyingSchool web site to show off your flying skills to the rest of the world. • Focuses on airmanship and recording your achievements. Track your progress as you improve - take satisfaction from doing difficult things correctly. • Works with dozens of the Flight Simulator community's favorite aircraft - add your own in minutes. • FSFlyingSchool's new Career Analyzer provides an in depth analysis of all flights flown with FSFlyingSchool. This unique graphic display examines over 70 different aspects of the pilot's performance during landings, circuits and flying in general. Each pilot in the FSFlyingSchool pilot roster can be examined separately, with options to examine flights in specific aircraft, or all aircraft together. Use the Career Analyzer to find areas of your performance which need attention and concentrate on getting them just right. Areas such as Landing Vertical Speed and Rough Turns are good places to start. • Highest scores come from good airmanship, often in challenging weather, with the least automation, but you can fly at whatever level is comfortable. • From a Cessna 172 landing in a thunderstorm to an FMC controlled flight in a Boeing 747, FSFlyingSchool can handle them all. • Instant tests of your airmanship: ask the instructor to immediately test your skills. • File a flight plan - follow it carefully to score more points. • Large selection of options allow you to configure FSFlyingSchool your way. • Fly anywhere you like and have your performance verbally evaluated and added to your custom log book. • Instructor tells you what you are doing wrong, when you do it. • Instructor detects subtle things you don't normally know about: G forces; trimming technique; taxiing in wind and lots more. • Performance immediately evaluated while you are still out flying: do not need to quit or even switch applications. No need to park or turn engine off to get a score. • Fly circuits around your favorite airports and have them evaluated in detail. • Always gives you detailed scoring of your performance; not a simple summary. • Failures system keeps you on your toes and your instructor can help you spot them. • Fly smoothly or you may damage your aircraft. • Multiple instructors to choose from with different personalities, genders and nationalities. • Advises you of crosswind strength and relative direction at your intended landing site. • Instructor will advise you of your height, use of gear, flaps and more as you approach the runway. • Improves your flying skills; makes your flying more realistic and attentive to detail. • Finds bad flying habits you may have. Will it work with my favorite aircraft? FSFlyingSchool works with any powered airplane. If your aircraft is unknown to FSFlyingSchool you can easily add your own data profile for the aircraft in around 1 minute, and lots more are becoming available for download from our site. How do the High Scores work? You can compete with other pilots around the world by submitting your scores to our web site. Your scores for landing, flights and circuits are evaluated separately and you can compete in all 3 areas. The bigger and faster your plane and the worse the wind, weather and visibility, the better you will score. You need not submit scores to the web - they are stored automatically in your FSFlyingSchool log book. What's all this about aircraft system failures? FSFlyingSchool lets you set the degree of challenge you are comfortable with. If you want a more demanding flight, then allow FSFlyingSchool to cause unexpected failures on your aircraft. You can even ask for 'loose wire' failures where the system fails, but may start working again, and may fail again! In addition, you will damage systems such as the gear and flaps by flying poorly. Watch your engines closely, especially during takeoff, and keep an eye on those fuel gauges... You'll never have to fly alone again! New features of version 1.9 Tips of the Day A randomly selected tip is now displayed when the user launches FSFlyingSchool. The tips can be examined one by one if the user prefers and this feature can be turned on or off as desired. The tips contain a wealth of information about how to get the most from FSFlyingSchool. New Aircraft Supported Support for several new aircraft has been added to FSFlyingSchool. Link to Video Tutorials in FSFlyingSchool program The Information Page now has a handy link direct to the FSFlyingSchool web site’s Tutorials Page so that the user can jump directly to a set of detailed narrated video tutorials on how to get the most from the FSFlyingSchool program. Enhanced Non-English PC Support Corrects problem experienced by some users with PCs not set to English language whereby the Career Analyser and Traditional Log Book would cause errors if displayed. Altimeter Fix A few users reported that the instructor repeatedly asked the pilot to reset the altimeter when this advice was incorrect – this no longer occurs.
