  • Products   SimAVIO   

     SimAVIO is flight simulator avionics software developed and produced by Fly This Sim (FTS) .   SimAVIO is a Vista, XP, or 7 Windows-based stand-alone software program that communicates with X-Plane.  SimAVIO gauges and glass instruments  display in a dedicated window outside of X-Plane's application.  X-Plane displays the external view outside the aircraft, while  SimAVIO displays high resolution photorealistic LIFE size (1:1 scale) instruments inside the cockpit.  Our instruments are 2D panels that may reside on a separate monitor, however some of our panels can overlay X-Plane's external visual.  SimAVIO can run on the same computer as X-Plane, OR it can run on its own computer and communicate via your home or office network. 

    SimAVIO is required to open and run any of the add-on panels listed below. If you do not wish to purchase add-on panels at this time, click to purchase SimAVIO now. If you wish to purchase additional products below, you will have the option of adding SimAVIO to your shopping cart at the end of your add-on panel transaction.
