What's New in IFR Simulator
1.6.1
August 5, 2026
Version 1.6.1 With this update, we are introducing some of the biggest features to IFR Simulator yet: • BRAND NEW Training Mode: Step-by-step interactive flight exercises are here! Practice VOR tracking, Radial Intercepts, and more while getting real-time evaluation and scoring on your performance. • ILS Approaches Added: You can now tune into Localizer and Glideslope frequencies to practice realistic precision instrument approaches! • Interactive Analog HSI: You can now manually rotate and interact with the OBS and Heading bugs directly on the Analog Cockpit view! • Enhanced Map & Teleportation: We squashed a bug that caused map glitches and messy flight tracks when teleporting the aircraft to distant airports. Moving around the map is now flawless. • Accurate IFR Training Logic: Exercises strictly follow real-world aviation rules. We properly grade reciprocal inbound courses to help you avoid reverse sensing. • Various UI improvements, smoother evaluation screens, and under-the-hood performance boosts.
