After being selected by BRM Aero, Bristell to build their B23 915 Flight Simulator Prototype in June 2025, the project culminated in the delivery of the unit to an Air Force base in Africa. The simulator was manufactured at our base in Spain and shipped by sea. Upon arrival, we unpacked the crate and, over five days, installed and commissioned the simulator, training both pilots and engineers. This was an exciting project for the team, and we were warmly welcomed and well cared for by the base officers and staff. We look forward to returning to the center for another project they have commissioned from us.
We were thrilled to be part of the installation team for a fully certified A320 simulator converted from OEM parts. Typically, we work on projects featuring simulator-specific components, so this was a unique experience for us. Taking genuine aircraft parts and adapting them for pure simulator use, followed by a certification process, was a fascinating challenge. The presence of real components truly enhanced the environment, bringing it closer to a Level D experience—minus the motion—than most builds.
The project took 16 months from start to finish, nearly double our usual timeline. However, we gained invaluable knowledge throughout the process, making it an overall great build.
A private owner approached us in early 2025 to custom-build a DA62 simulator, as no OEM versions are available. He wanted to complement his original simulator with a fully operational version to practice during poor weather and keep skills sharp. Simworx manufactured every component, from designing and producing the plug to creating a fiberglass shell to exact specifications. We also reproduced the interior and systems with precise scale and functionality. The simulator hs control loaded primary controls and every component feels and works like the real aircraft.
At the time of writing, we are approximately 10 weeks from initial testing, after which we will begin full production of the finished simulator. If you are interested in acquiring one for your airline, training organization, or, like our client, as an owner, please reach out.

This form has taken nearly 500 hours of sanding and filling and will serve as the master for the fiberglass mold. The final part will be made in two sections: the front, which will remain stationary, and the rear, which slides back on rails for easy access. The reason for not choosing gull-wing doors is that most simulators will have curved projection screens, and the doors would interfere with the mounted projectors. Once closed, the interior will feel authentic.
