We work with premium brands including PFC (Precision Flight Controls), Honeycomb, and custom-built solutions. Perfect for single-engine trainers, complex aircraft, and multi-engine configurations.

Flight Simulator Configurations We Build

From entry-level trainers to professional-grade cockpits, we design systems for every pilot's needs. All of our systems are built with upgradability in mind—your entry-level system today can evolve into a complex multi-engine simulator tomorrow.

Glass Cockpit Systems

Modern avionics configurations featuring RealSimGear G500, G600, or G1000 displays with PFD (Primary Flight Display) and MFD (Multi-Function Display). Perfect for pilots training on modern aircraft like Cirrus, Diamond, and latest Cessna models.

  • Garmin G1000/G500/G600 displays
  • Integrated autopilot systems
  • GPS navigation and flight planning
  • Engine monitoring displays
  • Swappable configurations for different aircraft types

Steam Gauge 6-Pack

Classic analog instrument configurations featuring the traditional "six pack" of primary flight instruments. Ideal for student pilots learning fundamentals, instrument rating training, and pilots who prefer traditional gauges. Our analog panels can be upgraded to glass later.

  • Airspeed, Attitude, Altimeter, Turn Coordinator
  • Heading Indicator and Vertical Speed Indicator
  • Full engine instrumentation (tach, manifold pressure, temps)
  • VOR/ILS navigation displays
  • Modular design for easy upgrades to glass cockpit

Multi-Engine & Complex Systems

Advanced configurations for multi-engine and complex aircraft training. Features dual throttle quadrants, mixture and propeller controls, cowl flaps, landing gear systems, and full engine management. Perfect for commercial pilot training and advanced ratings.

  • Twin throttle/prop/mixture controls
  • Dual engine instrumentation
  • Retractable landing gear systems
  • Fuel management systems
  • Complex autopilot integration

Entry-Level & Compact Systems

Affordable, space-efficient flight simulator setups perfect for home use, apartment dwellers, or pilots just starting out. These compact systems include essential flight controls and displays without compromising quality. Designed to be fully upgradable and expandable as your skills and needs grow.

  • Compact control yoke and rudder pedals
  • Essential flight instruments (digital or analog)
  • Basic throttle and mixture controls
  • Small footprint design (desk or table-mountable)
  • Upgrade path to full cockpit configuration

Modular & Upgradable Design Philosophy

At Summit Simulators, we believe your flight simulator should grow with you. That's why all of our primary gauge displays and instrument panels are designed to be upgradable and swappable. Start with an entry-level steam gauge setup, then upgrade to glass cockpit displays when you're ready. Switch between different panel configurations to match the aircraft you're training in. Our modular approach means you're never locked into one configuration—your simulator evolves as your flying skills develop.

Why Summit Simulators?

Summit Simulators brings over a decade of experience in flight simulation hardware, aviation technology, and custom cockpit design. We understand that every pilot has unique training goals and space requirements, which is why we offer both turn-key solutions for those who want to start flying immediately, and fully custom builds for pilots with specific aircraft preferences or training objectives.

Our expertise spans the full spectrum of general aviation aircraft—from simple trainers like the Cessna 152/172 to complex high-performance singles like the Cirrus SR22, and multi-engine aircraft like the Piper Seminole or Beechcraft Baron. Whether you're a student pilot building instrument skills, a flight instructor creating a training facility, or an experienced aviator maintaining proficiency, we design simulator systems that deliver realistic, effective training experiences.

We specialize in integrating professional-grade hardware from industry leaders like RealSimGear (G500/G600/G1000 displays), Precision Flight Controls (PFC), Honeycomb Aeronautical, and other premium manufacturers. Our systems work seamlessly with X-Plane 12, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020/2024, and other popular platforms. Every component is carefully selected for reliability, realism, and long-term value.

What sets Summit Simulators apart is our commitment to upgradability. We design all of our instrument panels with modularity in mind—your primary gauge displays can be swapped out to match different aircraft types, or upgraded from steam gauges to glass cockpit displays as your training progresses. This means your entry-level system today can evolve into a professional-grade trainer without starting from scratch.
