Anybody use FS FlightControl?

Was looking at it for practicing training scenarios.

Am trying the trial at the moment - if you haven't already, give this a go. Seems to be a well-implementd program that is currently undergoing rapid development. Interfaces nicely with Prosim/Prepar3d, which is what I'm using it for.

Is  this  similar  to fsipanel?

Parts of it is.  I think FSIPanel tries to be more specialized, working primarily on specific airplanes...PMDG, iFly, Turbine Duke...and then it configures them exactly as they're supposed to be for the phase of flight.  So, if you're on a dogleg in a PMDG, you will configured properly for that airplane and ready to take over.  For whatever reason, my rig was having problems with it.

 

Not sure if FS FlightControl does the configuration anywhere close to that degree or if it can handle more complex airplanes.

Don't waste your money subscription is for one year only and requires a paid renwal at the end of the year. Also other programs do what this program does and does it better with lifetime updates.

I'm using it for all sorts of things, least of all setting up training situations. I find its Map and Conditions pages invaluable, and the facilities to set my aircraft at gates at different airports are also very useful because the P3D menus are almost impossible to use on my curved screen. I use FS-FC from a Networked PC.

So, I suppose I really have rather special reasons for using it.

I also use EFB2 which is good for different reasons, but it's depiction of AI traffic positions is a little lacking for me because it is limited by the 96 aircraft (per ground and air) in the FSUIPC offsets tables it now uses. FS-FlightControl interfaces directly to SimConnect (and also to ProSim737 which I use for my systems). I often have over 200 AI around at any one time.
