We just shipped our 200th SR7x

In September 2026, the 200th SR7x left our facility in San Diego, California. Two hundred Cirrus SR G7-specific cockpits, built one at a time, now sit in homes, hangars, flight schools and training centers in more than 14 countries.

These simulators have logged over 50,000 hours of total flight time 'burning' over 170,000 gallons of virtual avgas! That's a huge saving for their owners and every one of those simulators represents a pilot or a training organization that trusted us with their training. This is how we work to earn that trust, from the first sub-assembly to years after delivery.

Built for the G7 from day one

The SR7x first shipped in October 2024, just nine months after Cirrus announced the SR G7. RealSimGear was the first to offer a simulator for this aircraft, building on what we had learned with the SFx Series for the Cirrus Vision Jet and our emulated G3000 avionics. With the SR7x we set out to build the highest-fidelity cockpit we had ever made: the right controls, in the right places, behaving the way the aircraft does.

Every simulator is built by hand

Every SR7x is hand built by our production team in San Diego. The work starts with the sub-assemblies: the force-feedback yoke system, the replica throttle, switch panels, seats and platforms, the sound system and the fully integrated computer system.

Each simulator is then assembled and individually commissioned for the customer it is going to. That means a full test suite, a test flight, and a detailed functional checklist completed before anything is packed. Only then does it go into a custom-made shipping crate for delivery. Nothing ships until it has been checked and double checked.

The software keeps improving after delivery

A simulator is only as good as the software inside it. We run our own servers to maintain and update the RealSimGear Onboard Avionics Platform, the software that drives the SR7x avionics. Updates are pushed directly to each simulator, along with regular navigation and chart database updates, so the avionics stay current without the owner having to manage it.

That means an SR7x delivered in 2024 has kept improving since the day it arrived with now 5 major updates delivered with a 6th just around the corner.

We keep track of every SR7x

Our Support Team tracks the status of every SR7x in the field. We reach out ahead of time to arrange updates and routine maintenance, so the simulator is ready when a pilot or instructor needs it. When something does go wrong, owners can reach us by phone or email and our team works through the problem quickly. For a flight school, a simulator that is down means lessons that don't happen. We take that seriously and have a team of 7 full time support staff across multiple time zones that are ready to help when needed.

Approved by the regulators

Independent approval matters. In 2025 the SR7x Pro received FAA approval as an Advanced Aviation Training Device (AATD), and the SR7x Home as a Basic Aviation Training Device (BATD). The SR7x Pro is also approved in Australia by CASA and is in use at multiple Cirrus Training Centers.

"This Simulator is so incredibly realistic, true to life, at times you almost forget you're in the Sim. RealSimGear nailed it with this version, it's identical to my SR22 G7, The ability to "sim-fly" the trip before you actually fly the trip is a game changer" -Roger H.

The next 200

Two hundred simulators is a milestone, but the job doesn't change: build each one carefully, test it properly, keep it current and be there when it's needed. That is what we mean by ‘The Standard in Flight Simulation Training’.

If you are thinking about an SR7x, there are three models: Desktop, Home and Pro. Our side-by-side guide explains the differences and helps you pick the right one.
