His dedication ensures that every feature is crafted with precision and a deep understanding of pilot training needs.
FSiPanel Software Version History
Building on the success of its predecessor, FSiPanel 2017 introduced enhanced features and expanded aircraft compatibility, bringing a new level of realism to flight training.
This version supported FSX, FSX: Steam Edition, and Prepar3D (P3D), providing seamless integration with some of the most advanced aircraft add-ons available at the time. Supported aircraft included:
- PMDG 737, PMDG 747, PMDG 777
- FSLabs A320-X
- Majestic Dash 8 Q400
- Aerosoft CRJ Series
With improved automation, advanced approach setups, and optimized performance, FSiPanel 2017 made quick approach training more intuitive and efficient for serious simmers and professional pilots alike.
This version marked a significant technological leap, laying the groundwork for future innovations in FSiPanel 2020 and 2024.
FSiPanel 2020 – A Major Leap in Realism & Training
With FSiPanel 2020, the software took a huge step forward by introducing a new method to reposition aircraft, enhanced training tools, and deeper system integrations, making it the most advanced version yet.
🔹 Revolutionary Aircraft Positioning
Unlike previous versions, FSiPanel 2020 introduced a more precise and seamless way to reposition aircraft, ensuring they were trimmed, configured, and stabilized before the pilot took control. This provided a smooth transition into approach training without disrupting aircraft systems.
🔹 Training Scenarios – Full Flight ATC Guidance
For the first time, users could experience ATC-guided flights from clearance to parking at their destination. These real-world-inspired training scenarios created a structured environment for practicing standard operations, with or without system failures for added realism.
🔹 Advanced Failure Panel – Master Emergency Handling
🔹 Cockpit Flows – Your Virtual Co-Pilot
🔹 Quick Traffic Patterns – Train in Minutes
With automation, precision, and realism, FSiPanel 2020 became the ultimate training platform for serious flight simmers and professional pilots.
FSiPanel 2024 – The Most Advanced Flight Training Tool Yet
Our latest version, designed for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024, takes training realism to new heights.
For the first time, helicopter support is introduced, allowing pilots to start their flights static anywhere, making it perfect for precision landing practice, off-airport operations, and specialized training scenarios.
