SimStack Powers WorldFlight

During the first week of November, Simulator Solutions’ SimStack successfully powered two 747-400 simulators participating in the WorldFlight round the world charity event.

SimStack was used to integrate a combination of real world 747 components and aftermarket replica parts with Aerowinx PSX to immerse pilots in their virtual flight deck.

Both simulators, located in Sydney Australia, flew around the world over a period of seven days to raise money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service in Australia.
