About Us: The RealSimGear Journey
At RealSimGear, we believe that every aspiring pilot should have access to high-quality flight simulation hardware that mirrors the complexities of real aviation. Founded by Jarrod Barker, a product design engineer and recent private pilot license holder, our company was born out of a passion for flying and a commitment to enhancing the flight training experience.
The Beginning
The journey began during Jarrod’s own flight training in San Diego, California. He quickly realized that while flight simulation software offered realistic environments, the hardware available at the time fell short. Many pilots, like Jarrod, were frustrated by the lack of affordable options that provided an authentic cockpit experience. Recognizing this gap, he sought to create products that would make flight simulation more accessible and realistic.

Our mission remains simple: to provide every pilot with the tools they need to enhance their skills, build confidence, and become safer pilots. We focus on creating products that allow users to practice essential skills in a home environment, significantly improving their learning rates and overall proficiency.
