ANSMedia-Common-Toolbar
#WIP Toolbar which is planned to be common across our current and future addons.
Arrestors
(Works with any plane with a tailhook whilst on any runway)
The arrestor slows you down to zero if you are on any runway above 30knots with the tailhook down until you release the tailhook or go more the 1m off runway.

#WIP Toolbar which is planned to be common across our current and future addons.
Arrestors
(Works with any plane with a tailhook whilst on any runway)
The arrestor slows you down to zero if you are on any runway above 30knots with the tailhook down until you release the tailhook or go more the 1m off runway. Base Arrestors will be removed soon as causing too many issues. Any future ANSMedia projects will. It is recommended you always use our arrestor button anyway as it will always slow you down if you are on the runway and with the tailhook deployed (it will release if you bounce or go off the end). Holds aircraft in position until you retract the tailhook.
It will now detect whether you are needs an ANSMedia Moving Carrier and apply a speed offset to the zero speed.
Animated Arrestorwires are WIP
Currently there are 2 ways the arrestor script is activated. If it detects you have caught a cable on a ansmedia carrier it will activate automatically as long as the toolbar is open. (MOVING CARRIER SUPPORT FOR ADVANCED ARRESTOR WIP). Alternatively you can activate the fake arrestors from the simple Catobar Page which will slow you down if you are on ground with tailhook deployed.
Catapult
Catapult Buttons on Controls Page
ONLY FOR USE ON ANSMEDIA CARRIERS (moving carrier support Also WIP)
1. Press Either aft or forward Carriers button. It will then direct you onto the catapult line.
2. Press Button again when Lined up and message reads Click to lineup. Script will then fix any small inaccuracies in your lineup. It will then Initiate A hold script to stop any forward velocity.
3. Press Press Button Again to activate the Launch script when Click to Launch is Shown. You will be then be Launched 5 Seconds After your throttle is set above 80%. Toolbar Will then show Launch Complete
Catapult Buttons on Simplified Catobar Page
(works on Any runway/carrier that is not moving aswell as ANSMedia Moving Locations).
Speed Offset and Direction inputs are planned so this will work on all carriers.
There are 2 buttons. One for standard sized catapults (90m) and one for short Catapults (55m). The front catapult on the QE arkroyal proposal is a shorter one (55m) for drones and fighters only and accelerates quicker hence why the sort option is Included.
Simply press The button When on ground and below 30knots. This will initiate a Forward speed hold of zero (+speedoffset if your on an ANSMedia moving carrier). It will then Initiate the launch 5 seconds after your Throttle is set above 80%.
Catapult Script Terminating velocity is 80m/s (155knots) for all Versions
Pushback
(Works with any plane when on ground with idle Throttle)
Pushback of max 10knots - where velocity and turning rate are directly proportional to joystick position not just on-off speed and pointing change. It checks whether your throttle is below 10% and whether you are on the ground to make sure it doesn't trigger in the air and stops the script if you say fall off a carrier or increase your throttle. If you manually press stop pushback it will engage parking brake. If it stops the pushback script due to being off the ground, throttle position or reset being pressed it will not engage the parking brake.
The pushback also has anti-tip functionality aswell for both roll and pitch. It will now detect whether you are needs an ANSMedia Moving Carrier and apply a speed offset to the zero speed.
Future Features:
Custom User inputted Speed offset and direction for use on non-Ansmedia moving carriers is Planned. (This also would allow you to set a taxi cruise speed)
Custom Joystick Deadzone values and Max Speed is Also Planned.
Because of the Anti-tip functionality It is recommended you use this on Aircraft carrier Lifts. MSFS ground position changes are slow so will cause wheels to judder on lifts. Parking brakes will hold you aswell but Anti-tip should reduce Aircraft body movement and will make judders less visible especially in cockpit view.
Offset
A simple offset has been added which allows you to use sliders to add an offset in heading and velocity to the pushback and simple catobar scripts. This is primarily for use with non ANSMedia moving carriers but can also be used as a cruise control for pushback.
ANSMedia Carrier controls
The toolbar contains the controls for our QE Arkroyal and ITS Trieste Carriers:
CATOBAR Toggle for ansmedia QE Arkroyal
CATAPULT Controls and auto arrester script for ANSMedia QE Arkroyal (just requires catch cable with toolbar open)

"RealTurb CAT Areas Global for MSFS v2" incorporates a new logic for enroute turbulence (CAT) compared to the previous version, while adding support to terrain and in-cloud turbulence!
Enroute turbulence, is not linked and limited to SIGMET's CAT or TS areas in this version 2 of RealTurb CAT Areas Global for MSFS! Instead the actual wind in the simulator, at the aircraft's position, is analyzed for any wind shifts / variations thus inducing the turbulence effects to more realistic positions (eg. where wind direction and / or speed changes). This allows to open the envelope to a global level instead of being limited to SIGMET's CAT or TS areas!
Terrain turbulence feature is also added in this version, extending the RealTurb turbulence effects also to lower altitudes, when flying near terrain (with wind blowing from the terrain direction).
An approach with wind direction being from the terrain side will now feel different compared to the approach with wind direction being from the sea or relatively flat ground.
In-Cloud turbulence is another feature, which analyzes cloud density when flying into clouds, to provide dynamic turbulence effects. In this way, a certain cloud density is required for the effects to be present in the first place, allowing also for dynamic effects strength, again based on the cloud density.
Features include:
- Global coverage
- Turbulence effects based on wind vs terrain analysis, cloud density, wind variations and speed.
- Realistic (custom made) turbulence effects
- Custom made turbulence sounds (linked to aircraft's G Load)
- Easy installation and usage (Just install and forget - RealTurb will auto load when the simulator starts)
- No user input/setup required for the effects to work. All is analyzed automatically!
- Settings Dialog to control effects strength / altitude envelope / sounds / sounds G-Load thresholds,
if the user wants to change default values.
- Option for parameters to be saved as aircraft title specific.
You can also try the demo version of "RealTurb CAT Areas Global for MSFS v2", before purchase, which offers a fully functional product for 10 days after installation. Click here to download the demo version installer.

What is it?
aviaFlyByWire is a flight control augmentation system that takes care of making manual flight easy, intuitive and smooth.
How does it work?
aviaFlyByWire intercepts your flight control hardware’s aileron and elevator signals (let’s call them X and Y values) and redirects these signals to a flight control loop. This then interprets the raw signals and uses them to command roll and pitch rates (the more you deflect your elevator, the faster the pitch change). Finally, the control loop calculates the actual aileron and elevator surface positions and sends these output signals to the aircraft. Very similar to the fly-by-wire mechanisms found in complex airliners.
Can I test it before buying?
Yes! aviaFlyByWire has a demo mode where it will work without limitations around Salzburg, Austria. Once you leave Salzburg, aviaFlyByWire will disengage.
No refunds can be offered.

History
PC-based flight simulation software has been popular since the introduction of Microsoft Flight Simulator in the early 1980s, and as soon as such software appeared, pilots and instructors started arguing about if and how they should be used in formal flight training.
Today, the benefit of flight simulators in flight training is rarely of dispute - for many years already, flight schools, flight instructors, and pilots have been using Microsoft’s Flight Simulator software and others to train and stay proficient (including FlightSafety International, Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, and the U. S. Navy).
In 2008, Microsoft, recognizing Flight Simulator’s potential as a training aid, released Microsoft ESP. ESP provided commercial, government, and educational organizations with a robust simulation platform on which to build custom training solutions.
In 2008, my cockpit-building hobby led me to search a program that would allow interaction with Flight Simulator. After weeks of research, I could not find any commercially available program that would cater my needs, and so. . . I wrote one.
The Instructor Station™, as conceived, would enable practicing approaches, changing weather and inject failures to practice procedures, along with managing the simulator itself (networked PCs, etc. ). Little did I know when I started writing back then that it would evolve into something used by flight schools in formal pilot training, as part of FAA-approved certified aviation training devices.
The Instructor Station™ can be used as part of an FAA approved training device that students can log hours in (when under the supervision of a certified instructor). The Instructor Station and the simulation can be run on two separate computers over a network, or on the same machine.
No matter what your specific needs or situation is, one thing’s for sure: the Instructor Station™ will revolutionize the way you use your flight simulator product, whether for business or leisure.
What People Are Saying
Instructor Station™ has proven to be very successful among the Aviation, PC Flight Simulation and Cockpit Building communities. Thousands of aviation professionals and enthusiasts are using the Instructor Station all throughout the world.
Present in 70+ countries, and more than 8+ years of continued development and support !
Enough said - now down to user feedback:

" About your great software Instructor Station, I can tell you that it is really similar to the A320 Full Flight Simulator one. [. . . ] I really think your software is an excellent tool for people like me; it helps your training as a pilot a lot. "
(Airbus 320 pilot) J. B. (Portugal)
" I have been using your iSTATION for some time now and I just can't get enough of it. [. . . ] By the way I just downloaded version 1. 30 and I can't wait to start using it. The feature for starting the pmSystems seems to me terrific. Keep up the good work. "
A. L. (Mexico)
" First of all, congrats! You made a very nice and useful product. [. . . ] Thank you very much for your time, and again, for your wonderful program. "
A. D. (Brazil)

P. W. (Germany)
" I am excited about your new software. "
A. P. (Australia)
" I purchased the 2. 0 upgrade and it looks so much better and finally happy to see US lbs included. What I like the most is how I can input the weights directly into the FS Stations through IS. Previously, I was doing this by using the FSX menu line>Aircraft>Fuel and Payload screens, via the curved screen. . . it took forever. "
J. C. (USA)
" Thank you for this software, which is a remarkable bit of programming. "
D. M. (Germany)
" Regards from P. and many thanks for this amazing tool. "
P. V. (Germany)

M. I. (Indonesia)
" Let me state that iStation is a great product and I highly recommend it. [. . . ] I just think flight simulation is just fantastic and your iStation makes it even better ! "
G. A. (USA)
“ For anyone thinking of putting together a cockipt or for those who already have one, a vital program is the Instructor Station, with it you can perform many tasks without having to access the menus of the FS, put fuel, train approaches, simulate faults and etc . . . Luis Gordo did an excellent job with this software that originally was created for his own cockipt that is an A320. In addition to the excellent quality of the software what also stands out is the price !! The same software only the Project Magenta you will pay the small sum of 800 euros !! Already Luis software costs only 39. 50 euros !! What difference huh? ”

The new Drifter for MSFS has been rebuilt with more polygons and detail to match the level of detail in the new simulator. The pilot position of the Drifter, out front and clear of the wings, provides unparalleled visibility and makes the Drifter the perfect aircraft to enjoy viewing the scenery in MSFS.
FEATURES
- Rebuilt model for MSFS
- Virtual tablet provides access to user preferences and an autopilot for those times you want to fly hands free
- Free demo available from www. antsairplanes. com
- 13 liveries included.
- Wheeled and float models
- Genuine engine sounds
- Animations for tiedowns, wheel chocks and pitot covers
- Animated pilot and passenger models which can be displayed or hidden
VERSION 1. 20
- New pilot and passenger models with new visibility options
- New Tablet. Changed from C++ gauge to a HTML gauge which should lead to better stability. Due to this change and the way user preferences are saved, preferences from previous versions will not be loaded into version 1. 2
- Key commands to toggle the Tablet (Decrease Nav4 volume) and GPS (Increase Nav4 volume)
- Added option for engine starting difficulty. Easy requires no priming. Hard requires engine priming for cold engines
- Improved the engine priming by using custom logic instead of default
- Increased tank capacities to 30 and 40 litres (total usable 61 litres)
- Changed fuel consumption rates (see Fuel Consumption section)
- Fixed issue with fuel amounts in the fuel line
- Various changes to the engine performance and flight model (mostly but not limited to, drag, angle of aircraft in cruise and spin characteristics)
- Added airframe icing effect
- Added 4 levels of Rolling Resistance to control ground roll speeds
- 3 options for windscreen reflections. High, low and off. Note that the off setting will not display rain effects on the windscreen (because the layer for rain effects has it's own reflectivity which cannot be set to zero)
VERSION 1. 12
- New smooth propeller animations. Recent testing has shown that the default MSFS code for prop animation operates at only 18 fps. Custom code in the Drifter now animates the prop at the same rate as the sim which produces smoother animation.
- Fixed key commands for the fuel pump
- Fixed GPS on/off key
- Modified engine sounds so less high frequencies are rolled off when viewing front on in the external camera.
- Improved VR cockpit interactivity
- Fixed issue with windshield rain effects not showing
