ELITE has the necessary detail to provide a superior training experience. All switches, knobs, buttons and levers, are fully functional allowing complete start-up to shutdown, as well as emergency procedural practice. Each photorealistic aircraft cockpit panel is a beautifully rendered, high-resolution replica of that found in the actual aircraft. All avionics and associated instrumentation, including the GPS, function exactly as their real world counterparts. ELITE is not just a basic IFR simulator, but a complete training platform.

• Cessna 172R and Piper Archer III

ELITE V8.0 includes:

MAP Page "Spot Weather"
Now get the total picture, instantly! Quickly view current weather conditions at the aircraft's present position AND important flight data on ELITE's MAP Page at the same time. Presented with easy-to-read "station model" symbology, the spot weather feature gives you instant access to current visibility, pressure, air temperature, and winds at a glance. (Spot weather is a hit with instructor's utilizing ELITE's dynamic WX capabilities!)

Enhanced INOP Instrument Presentation
Partial panel work has never been more realistic! The Instrument INOP feature allows you to place a virtual instrument cover on a selected instrument or instruments. The covers are similar in appearance to the rubber suction cup covers used in instrument training for partial panel practice. The covers can be used independent of, or in conjunction with, specific malfunctions as desired.

Bendix/King Silver Crown Plus(TM) Avionics
This new Bendix/King radio stack offers the latest in convenience and advanced features. The NAV/COMs alone have integrated elapsed timers, CDI/OBS, and the ability to store a myriad of frequencies! The Silver Crown Plus(TM) is a new stack for a new generation.

NAV Data
New Jeppesen US Navigation update.

Map Screen
This virtual "command center" allows you to train and evaluate your flights with unparalleled precision. Shoot virtually any IFR approach in the world, then evaluate your performance on ELITE's map screen.

Replay your flight with plan, profile, and extended profile views. ELITE gives you access to all the flight parameters stored in its flight data recorder. Track gear and flap position, airspeed, altitude, flightpath, and more. Learn instantly what corrections are necessary to improve your next flight. Practice difficult intersection holds, DME arcs, NDB approaches, SIDs and STARs. Simple click-and-drag aircraft repositioning lets you easily set up for any procedure.

Don't know a particular frequency? ELITE's map screen is like a virtual Airport Facility Directory. Just click on any NAVaid, fix or airport and an information box appears with name, identifier, frequency, coordinates, variation and elevation where applicable.
Combined with its sophisticated instrument platform, ELITE's map screen is a powerful tool that can be used to better visualize instrument procedures and hone situational awareness skills.

Malfunctions Screen
Set instrument, system, power plant, or avionics failures to help you keep sharp on emergency procedures and "what if" scenarios. Just make sure your scan is up in case you have to go to partial panel! Manipulate your engine power performance. Over 250 failure combinations are possible!

Weather Screen
Set specific values for turbulence, wind speed/direction, ceiling, visibility, pressure, and temperature. Choose to have conditions remain static, or dynamically changing. Set random variables for wind speed/direction and ceiling for an element of unpredictability. You can even save unique weather "states" for use later along with any flight.

Modification Screen
Update ELITE's navigational database. Access and revise critical data with the same intuitive panels used throughout the program. Just dial in a new frequencey or push a button to select a different approach lighting configuration. It's all here... NAVaids, fixes, runways, holding patterns, etc. Save time and money staying up-to-date without having to purchase navigational database updates.

Configuration Screen
Use this screen to set simulator preferences, configure flight controls and hardware, adjust sound properties, and specify instrument configuration/operation.

Customer Reviews For Elite Core IFR Simulator Software v8.0: Write a review

Wednesday, December 26, 2007 A major disappointment by Phil from Connecticut  Pros: None found Cons: Alot of time wasted in preparing the system to work correctly Review: Like the previous review, I tried to adjust the CH Yoke to the software. It is not obvious what the appropriate key stroke are required. The map view is interesting but MS Flight Simulator is just as helpful.  Based on its rating, I will try On Top instead as a backup to Flight Simulator. Tuesday, July 10, 2007 I would not buy this product by Ray Woods from Dallas, Tx  Pros: Graphics look great. Pilots manual appeared to be very good. Cons: Could not make it function properly with CH Products controls. Review: Based on Demo Usage Only: I downloaded the 8.1 Premium Demo and was never able to configure it to function properly with CH Products controls (yoke and rudder devices). At best, the controls would partially function. I would expect that this would be as simple as Microsoft FlightSim 2004 or FlightSim X. Was unable to receive any support from Elite.
