Your Ultimate Flight Simulation Master

SIM SAMURAI HOT-LINKS
The following links are other products which I find to be the most useful and most cost effective solutions for advanced flight simulation or are resources for building your own home built cockpit or sim-pit. It additionally includes some professional level companies that may interest you if money is no object.

While I certainly endorse these products they do not necessarily endorse me! I only provide links to them as I feel their products are worthwhile and can help to produce a professional flight simulator for the home user or sim training pilot.  The first four categories are those products that are the most cost effective solutions for a sim-pit and all will work great with the Sim Samurai XS-1 Flight Deck, while the last section is reserved for the most extreme builders who have enough money to go ahead and buy a real aircraft!

Take notice that I have also provided a few links to other cockpit builder sites so you can compare the Sim Samurai XS-1 sim station to other sim cockpits that may either be more advanced than mine or perhaps even less advanced. I have done so because I want you to reflect on my principles of form follows function and what I feel a great sim station should be.  Again, this is Affordable, Easy to Build, and Easy to Move. I must also include "aircraft flexible" in this too as I think being able to fly many aircraft is part of the fun! After seeing the competiton I thing you will see that the SimSamurai XS-1 flight simulator station is the ultimate way to go if you like to fly alot of aircraft.

The Sim Samurai XS-1 Sim Station meets all of these last criteria so if you are looking at any other designs you should ask the same question of other sim stations that look enticing to you.  I soon think you will realize that I did alot of homework and research in developing the XS-1 and think you will see that the SimSamurai XS-1 sim station is in fact the ultimate way to go as it is affordable, easier to build, and you can easily move it anywhere you want.  Lastly the XS-1 flight simulator can be made to fly ANY aircraft you desire. Therefore when built out like my own model you will not pidgeonhole yourself into just one instrument panel that could cost you thousands upon thousands of dollars to build!  Thus the XS-1 sim station cockpit is indeed quite flexible, fun, and very flyable!  Don't forget that the XS-1 can also house many of the pro level equipment I reference in these links too if you are wanting to become a "single panel pro"!

As said before, I feel your money is best spent building the XS-1 yourself and then look at buying other components down the road as you have more funds available.  As you will see, equipping a sim station with a specific type of aircraft's "pro level" equipment can easily run you $5000-$10,000 or more and that's not including the sim's PC or sim cockpit shell either!  With my methods this cost is reduced by well over 50% if not even more! Again, my philosophy is always one of finding the most cost effective solution.

By building the XS-1, and purchasing my tech manual ; Sim Samurai's Ultimate Guide To Advanced Flight Simulation, and lastly by purchasing some high quality virtual gauges found at right, along with minimal hardware such as your yoke, throttle, and some tactile radio equipment, you will save yourself thousands of dollars while still being able to enjoy a large variety of aircraft with FS 2004 or FSX.   Lastly, this can all be done at home in your very own "pro feel" environment.

It's what I do... It's what I recommend !

I guarantee that my solutions are the most cost effective yet still produce the most worthwhile professional results for a home built flight sim. I put alot of research into all my products and know you will benefit from using each one!
