More than just a hardware or software company, Sim Your Plane builds exactly what the customer needs for their simulation needs. Most simulator manufactures use the same cookie cutter approach to their software and hardware, we however, specialize in creating custom hardware and back that up with complete custom software solutions.
An examples of this is with Rotor-Blade LLC, we worked on the following:
- Custom X-Plane designed helicopter matching their real aircraft specs and visuals
- Custom training world scenery built within X-Plane for practicing the aerial saw as well as powerline and utility work
- X-Plane aerial saw sling load physics including ground handling, rotations, engine starting and accurate visuals of branches being cut.
- We turned a wrecked Hughes 500 fuselage into the control input for the computer with:
- Working cyclic / collective / pedals and all switch controls (saw buttons, engine buttons, etc are all recognized by the computer)
- Virtual reality implementation with the absolute very best of technology from Varjo
- Training documentation to support the training of pilots to be safer and more effective at their work
- FAA Virtual Reality AATD documentation and submission
We are also the leading US flight simulator company focusing on the advances in Virtual Reality and integrating them into your flight training and simulation. Our recent Hughes 500 Aerial Saw Simulator is currently on track to be the first FAA approved VR simulator. In addition to certification, we are pushing the technology further by working with partners, such as Varjo, on the latest virtual reality headsets as well as mixed reality as featured on the XR-3 headset.
