Welcome!

You've found the home of Simbirds, makers of fine aeroplanes for Microsoft's Flight Simulator 2004 and Flight Simulator X, and Lockheed Martin's Prepar3D.

This site is being made ready in anticipation of our first public release - Sir Sydney Camm's indomitable Hurricane - so we may seem like we're new to the scene, but we are real-world pilots, experienced software engineers, and builders and restorers of historic aircraft, each with a passion for online flying. We're combining our real-world expertise to generate the most authentic flight experience possible from simulatored flight.

We are a small international team of professionals brought together by our love of real-world aviation and online flying. In the past we found ourselves assessing the efforts of many other freeware and payware vendors, some of whom impressed us greatly, and some of whom did not! So here we are, putting our money where our mouth is and hoping to rival the best when we bring you our finest aeroplanes.

Simbirds is dedicated to designing, developing, testing, and releasing to you the finest Flight Simulator aeroplanes.

All our aeroplanes feature exacting accuracy in their visual models, faithful reproduction of real-world flight characteristics, high quality sound sets, and many small enhancments to add to the overall immersion you will feel in flying them. From the creep marks on the tires to the buffet in the stall, we are doing our best to provide you with a complete simulation.
