EDIT: This reply was to the above post which user has now kindly removed, where there was a complaint about a competitors software which was mistaken for FS Academy.
Hi Boston,
I am afraid you are mistaken, you are referring to Pilot in Command by FS Approaches, WHICH IS NOT my product⊠Please contact FS Approaches for your tech support.
Referring to Voyager, its is not a lie at all regarding the SDK, this was true when written and on release. They are Discovery Flights rather than bushtrips today, which allows choice of aircraft, saving points, weather etc. They will be updated when the SDK says more than âtodoâ and as a free update.
The manual for Voyager includes detailed descriptions (and some side info) along the way and has been very well received. The routes are planned as I would in reality, including landmarks and ATC entry points.
MSFSaddons: Itâs this attention to detail and the quality of the experience that left us with a very good impression, making âVoyagerâ an easy recommendation" - MSFSAddons.com
If you can PM me your email, I can get a free copy of IFR to you so you can see the true quality and high effort put in. Contact hello@fsacademy.co.uk
Thanks, check you inbox for you free copy of IFR
Personally, I am quite happy with the purchase of the VOYAGER package. A good set of beautiful routes for the money, answering to the question of where to fly next on busy evening.
The fact that missions are not fully integrated into the simulator is clearly mentioned in the product description, so everything is fair. In addition, the developer has promised to adapt the package to the Bushtrip format later.
So probably the IFR is my next purchase from the FS Academy.

Please report back how you feel about the product. I was actually looking for a review of it, when I saw your post, as I was intending to buy it.

Hey there, Iâm a Multi-IFR instructor in Canada so this product isnât really for me. Just wondering since RNAV isnât in your âincludedâ list, how does this training program implement GPS use(if at all), since the simâs current systems are quite limited?

Will report back tomorrow. Gonna spend a day playing around with it. Make no mistake, if I decide to keep the product and use it, I WILL purchase it. I appreciate the developerâs goodfaith in encouraging me to evaluate it though. About to start the sim with it installed. Cheers.

Hi Trent,
RNP is not covered at the moment as it is rife with bugs in MSFS at the moment, which would cause it to be counter productive.
This is something I hope to implement once the game is more representative of reality in regards to RNP specifically.
Are the âmissionsâ or trainings so to speak available using A320 and 787 aircraft?

IFR starts you off in the C152, progresses to glass cockpit C172 and then DA62.
There are not any jet missions in IFR, but everything you learned can be applied to larger aircraft.
My myâŠ
I really do wish all the ADS, Addons and Commercial products would have a forum folder of their own.
To me, General Discussions and Feedback is a place to discuss the MSFS Core product.
It would be so nice if all the add on product discussions and Ads had a separate place to promote their products and leave the general discussions area free for the discussions of the MSFS core programs.
So many times I have clicked on a topic only to find that it was another vendor promoting their wares when I was expecting a discussion of a MSFS core program issue.
If the Vendors had their own discussion folders in the forum we would all have one place to go to discuss or hunt for 3rd party products instead of having their promotions mixed in with our MSFS core program discussions.

Yes I think that would be useful.
Agree on the usefulness of a separate category.
Really quick⊠I have done Section 1 of IFR so far and am about half way through the first route on Voyager (The Alps)âŠ
I have to say, I owe you a massive apology. I was wrong about the product, hands down. I DO think that it would have been done WAY better as a properly set up Bush Trip (which at this point the simulator allows - there are plenty of custom ones out there), but the route and thought behind it is good. The IFR Product is great so far! Essentially it picks up right from where the Flight School missions of the original tutorial end. It has spoken audio instructions which need to be followed and that is how the lesson proceeds. It seems to track what you are doing via flight data.
The PDF manual is structured nicely (though I havenât delved deep into itâŠ) But the Lessons reside in the Bush Trip section.
I will talk more later as I progress through the content, but I have to say that was wrong about both of the products in my initial post. They are both deserving of attention and have a good amount of thought and effort put into them. There is no reason for anyone to not get this.
Furthermore, my initial post could have simply been dismissed by the developer as nonsense and disregarded. He took the time to reach out to me and offer IFR, the latest product for free for me to experience it and, hopefully, change my mind. This definitely worked, but my point is that he didnât have to do it! The fact that he has done that makes him stand out as someone who obviously cares about the experience and tries to put out a quality product.
Well done, Sir, and please accept my humble apology. I am only human and we all make mistakes. I was wrong. I will also purchase IFR to show my support. Cheers.

I have also edited my original post to delete its content - I donât want my initial impression to stay up and potentially dissuade anyone that may not bother to read the later messages.

Hi, I purchased this product and followed the instructions for installation (dragged the IFR folder into the Community folder). Unfortunately not all IFR missions appear in the Bush Trip section. Missions 1, 2, 3 are missing, even though they are present in the missions folder. Any ideas?
