It looks like I've got approval to move forward with creating the class and thanks to everyone's advice I believe P3D, will be the best match for what I want to do. I want to use the Airbus 320 as the aircraft for this sim. It seems that FSL makes a good product but I see that they haven't release an add on for P3D.v5 yet. So should I get P3Dv4 to work with FSL or is there something out there that will work with P3Dv5 that can be recommended? Thanks Greg

Wow Guys! Super information.....All kind of ideas running through my mind.......

BerndB Would you have any pictures of the cockpit replica? Where did you get the replica panels? We had something like you described when I when thorugh Training at the airline I worked at. We called the CPTs....Cockpit Procedural Trainer. Did most everything but motion. Chock and BerndB Can the real life procedures for SIDs, STARs, and approaches be built and stored for later call up? I see using this trainer for just a few airports so I wouldn't need the whole world built. As far as ATC comms, I think the instructor could play that part. So far this looks like a solution to my needs. One last question. What type of controls do I need to make this work? Joystick, control wheel, throttle, rudder/brakes etc? Thanks again

Thanks again Chock.....you've been a big help

Thanks for the advice on the P3D. I will check it out. It sounds like what I want. To tell you the truth I haven't heard about that P#D before and glad I joined AVSIM to get advice..... Does P3D have SIDs, STARs, and approach plates included or is this something that is added on or will it match up with Jeppps or Flip charts What do I use to control the aircraft that I would be flying....i.e. mouse ....joystick ...rudder throttles. In other words what else would I need to purchase to make this work? I'm sure I'll have more questions after I check things out Thanks

I am am a former USAF/retired airline pilot and Adjunct Professor at a local college in Ohio. I am trying to developing a college level class, teaching students that have a multi engine instrument rating, advanced IFR procedures. I am looking for advice on what PC sim might be best. I am looking for something that will have more complex SIDs, STARs, and approaches. It would be nice to have a working FMC that can be used to do flight plan loading/modifications/changes. Glass cockpit Boeing or AIrbus would be fine. I've never used a sim that is PC/MAC based before and don't know if anything out there will suite my needs.Anyone out there with real world flying experience that can advise me on the above? Thanks
