Prosling Technology
Custom X-Plane development
Custom plugin and simulation development for X-Plane and other flight simulation environments — tailored to your specific training requirements.
Prosling builds professional VR helicopter training around HESLO — Helicopter External Sling Load Operations. Our X-Plane plugin delivers accurate, responsive sling load dynamics, developed with and approved by professional pilots, and integrated with Ryan Aerospace motion platforms.
Longline work, vertical reference flying, load management — the most demanding helicopter operations are also the hardest and most expensive to train for in the real aircraft. Prosling designs VR helicopter simulators specifically for high-level aerial work training, so pilots can build and maintain those skills in a controlled, repeatable environment.
Every hour flown in the simulator is a real flight hour saved: less fuel burned, less exposure to risk during the steepest part of the learning curve, and more repetitions of the maneuvers that matter. Pilots have achieved a stable hover on their first real flight after motion simulator sessions.
Load, rope and hook behavior modeled for authentic vertical reference training — validated by working longline pilots.
Synchronized motion cueing on Ryan Aerospace platforms improves immersion and mitigates VR motion sickness.
Optimized for Varjo XR-4 and professional-grade mixed reality headsets, including passthrough cockpit setups.
Coordinated operations and team-based exercises for pilot and crew member training together.
Reduce real flight hours significantly while increasing the number of repetitions per skill.
Practice emergency procedures, failures and complex maneuvers with zero risk to crew or aircraft.
Every simulator session is a real flight hour avoided — and fuel never burned.
Seamless integration with X-Plane 11 and X-Plane 12 installations.
From a single plugin license to a complete configured training device — we work at whatever level your operation needs.
Custom plugin and simulation development for X-Plane and other flight simulation environments — tailored to your specific training requirements.
HESLO plugin integration for advanced VR helicopter training systems, with full compatibility with Ryan Aerospace motion platforms.
Fully configurable VR helicopter simulator solutions — from basic home setups to complete professional training center devices.
An immersive vertical reference flight experience in a realistic, controlled and secure environment — with the load, the rope and the hook behaving the way they do under a real aircraft.
A proof of concept realized in France added movement on 4 axes and measurably improved immersion — successfully overcoming VR motion sickness through motion synchronization.
The system teaches the feel of the aircraft across a range of maneuvers. Pilots have achieved stable hover on their first real flight after motion sim sessions.
Training centers report substantial savings on flight hours while improving skill retention — and moving the riskiest repetitions out of the real aircraft.
A dedicated instructor station can trigger failures — particularly during load lifting — control weather conditions, and manage helicopter positioning for full scenario training.
VR simulation only changes a training organization's economics when the hours count. That is why our development is aligned with the EASA CS-FSTD(H) framework — the certification specification for helicopter flight simulation training devices.
Our engineering work — flight model parameter correction, objective test data capture, and validation documentation — is built to support the qualification of complete training devices, in cooperation with national aviation authorities.
If your training organization is evaluating an FTD investment, talk to us about where the qualification effort stands and what a device based on our technology could look like for your operation.
Practicing vertical reference techniques has never been this realistic — or this safe. Here is what experienced pilots say after flying our solution.
Having trained numerous new and experienced helicopter pilots, I am very pleased to see the virtual reality simulator taking its place as a new training tool. Even for such specialized maneuvers as long lining. Utilized in the right way, this system has the potential to revolutionize helicopter pilot training.
Since testing this plugin, I realize how immersive the use of virtual reality is in this type of training. Beyond the ability to train and familiarize, the VR lifting tool allows you to go deeper into main failures, breakdowns, malfunctions and safety maneuvers. The progression is clearly present and allows more regular training with much fewer technical and financial difficulties. It's a pleasure to be able to test part of the future of simulator training.
I have served 20 years in the Greek Air Force as a S.A.R. helicopter captain and now hold an ATPL(H) license. Attending the 2024 European Rotors Conference I had the opportunity to try the Intersim (Prosling) sling load module and I can tell you it was a joy. It really DOES deliver what it is supposed to — really nice performance, getting pretty solid feedback about sling load behavior.
We're demonstrating the HELIMOD Mark III device for long lining and vertical reference. We have partnered with Intersim (Prosling) simulation who provide an excellent mod to the software that provides so much realism to the slung load physics.
From HESLO operations to aerial firefighting — see how the system transforms pilot training.
For pilots in training and flight sim enthusiasts who want realistic sling load practice before moving on to the real longline. Save hours by training at home, with our support for setup and configuration.
Together we build the economic model that lets your organization earn from the flight hours it saves. From plugin licensing to a complete configured training device — including the FSTD qualification path.
