Simulator Modernization
Update aging training devices with maintainable software and current hardware.
Learn more →SimBytes upgrades and integrates flight training devices with modern avionics, high-fidelity simulation software, custom hardware, HIL/SIL interfaces, and qualification support—so existing simulators can deliver more realistic, reliable and valuable training.

Learn more →Engineering, testing, QTG support and discrepancy closure for qualification efforts.
Learn more →Legacy training devices often still have valuable cockpits, controls and mechanical systems. The weak point is frequently the software, computing hardware, avionics interface, visual system, I/O architecture or configuration control.
SimBytes focuses on targeted modernization: retain what still works, replace what no longer does, and create a supportable architecture that can evolve with the aircraft and the training program.
Discuss Your Upgrade →Extend the useful life of existing training-device assets.
Improve avionics behavior, aircraft response, reliability and instructor confidence.
Replace fragile, unsupported components with maintainable solutions.
Build engineering evidence, test capability and configuration discipline for regulatory evaluation.
Examples of the type of work SimBytes can execute. Customer names and specific configurations can remain confidential when required.
Modern avionics and AFCS integration, simulator interface development, mode logic, cockpit I/O and training-system validation.
AvionicsAFCSI/OModernized flight-guidance behavior, annunciations, control interfaces and aircraft-model integration to support realistic training.
Flight GuidanceSoftwareIntegrationPurpose-built interfaces connecting simulator software to real avionics, cockpit hardware, control systems and real-time test assets.
HILARINCEmbeddedSimBytes bridges disciplines that are often split across multiple vendors. That means fewer handoff gaps and faster root-cause resolution when a simulator issue crosses software, avionics, hardware, timing, aircraft systems or training requirements.
C/C++, Python, real-time interfaces, plugins, middleware, model integration and test tooling.
ARINC-429, Ethernet, serial, analog, discrete, navigation, AFCS and cockpit interfaces.
Real-time benches, deterministic integration, lab orchestration, hardware simulation and automated test.

Custom cockpit hardware, displays, encoders, switches, lighting, control-loading and embedded electronics.
Fault insertion, configuration tools, data capture, test interfaces and workflow improvements.
Inherited code, incomplete upgrades, unstable integrations and difficult cross-vendor problems.
Objective/subjective test support, QTG updates, configuration control and technical evidence.
SimBytes can support operators and training organizations preparing simulator upgrades for FAA qualification or re-evaluation. The goal is to connect upgrade work to documented requirements, controlled configurations, repeatable tests and defensible results.
SimBytes does not represent that an upgraded device is FAA-qualified until the applicable authority has evaluated and accepted the specific device and configuration.
Review the device, upgrade goals, discrepancies and qualification baseline.
Implement targeted hardware, software, avionics and model changes.
Execute engineering tests, close discrepancies and establish repeatable evidence.
Assist with documentation, evaluation preparation and post-upgrade closure.
SimBytes is built around decades of hands-on flight-simulation engineering spanning fixed-wing, rotary-wing, military, commercial and advanced-air-mobility programs. The work ranges from avionics and flight guidance to HIL/SIL, real-time integration, flight dynamics, cockpit hardware and system test.
The practical advantage is simple: problems are treated as simulator problems—not merely software problems, hardware problems or avionics problems.
Flight simulation, aircraft integration and test experience.
End-to-endSoftware + avionics + I/O + models + hardware + verification.
Training focusedEngineering decisions evaluated by what the pilot and instructor actually experience.
Tell us what you have, what you need it to become, and what is preventing you from getting there. SimBytes can help define the modernization path and determine the right mix of software, hardware, avionics and test.
