Ruscool Flight Simulator Products
From being involved with Microsoft Flight Simulator since the very first version was released, we have designed and built many different hardware and software systems over the years to make the simulation of flying an aircraft more realistic.
For the last several years we have been designing and manufacturing a wide range of electronic, electro-mechanical, and mechanical control and instrumentation systems for Pacific Simulators (Flight Experience). These simulators have been deployed in several different countries over the last few years and have proved to be very successful.
To give some idea of the range of our expertise and experience, below are some photographs highlighting the components we manufacture for Pacific Simulators.

Whilst we are unable to sell these items to home cockpit builders, we do manufacture a wide range of equipment for flight simulator enthusiasts to use in their own home-built cockpits. This includes universal control boards for Inputs, Outputs, Radios, Autopilots, Encoders, and Intercoms suitable for virtually every type of aircraft.
We also have a range of non-electronic items which includes panels, buttons, knobs, annunciators, circuit breakers, gauges, etc, and recently added to our growing list of items are dual concentric rotary encoders and knobs.
Aircraft specific items currently available are a full range of panels and assorted componentry for the ATR72 and the KingAir B200.
Due to the fact that the majority of work is done in-house, we are readily able to design and build other equipment to suit the precise requirements of our clients.
