Simionic

Simionic develops flight simulator instruments, cockpit controls and related software. The company is located in Tianjin, China. Its products include G1000 hardware, modular flight instruments, cockpit controls and software for flight simulation. Simionic works on equipment that allows users to operate aircraft instruments through physical controls rather than relying only on a computer screen. Its hardware supports different flight simulator setups, including systems based on the Cessna 172.

G1000 Flight Simulator Hardware

Simionic makes hardware for operating the Garmin G1000 flight instrument system in flight simulators.

The latest version of its G1000 hardware can control the company's G1000 iPad application. With the correct setup, it can also operate the built-in G1000 in X-Plane, Microsoft Flight Simulator and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

This gives simulator users a choice between working with the Simionic application and using the instruments already included in their simulation software.

The company also provides software downloads and technical guidance for connecting its hardware to supported simulators.

Modular Aircraft Instruments

Simionic develops individual instrument modules for flight simulator panels.

The instruments grew from standby gauges originally designed for the company's Cessna 172S simulator.

Simionic later expanded these into a wider range of traditional aircraft instruments.

Each module is designed to be close to the size of a real aircraft instrument. This allows users to arrange them within different simulator panels.

The company also accepts requests for custom instruments. Customers can describe the aircraft type, instrument design and graphics they need.

These modules can be used to build panels for different aircraft and simulator configurations.

GI275 Instrument Development

Simionic has been developing hardware and software to simulate the Garmin GI275.

The GI275 is a round electronic instrument that can replace traditional gauges in an aircraft cockpit.

Its shape allows it to fit panels designed for the usual six flight instruments.

Simionic began this project while working on improvements to the standby instruments in its Cessna 172 simulator.

The goal is to reproduce the instrument's functions in a simulation environment.

The company has also shared development information and a demonstration of its GI275 simulation project.

Additional Cockpit Controls

Simionic also develops physical controls for simulator cockpits.

Its listed equipment includes control consoles, cowl flap handles, elevator trim controls and Piper-style flap controls.

The company has also developed Cessna-style rudder pedals.

These parts allow simulator users to operate aircraft systems through separate hardware controls.

Prices shown on its site include products ranging from $55.00 to $2,786.00.

For pilots and aviation fans, Simionic provides equipment for building aircraft-style simulator panels. Its focus on individual instruments, G1000 controls and cockpit hardware makes it relevant to people who want to practice using familiar aircraft controls during simulated flights.
