About SimulatorHardware.com

Welcome to SimulatorHardware.com, your premier source for hardware recommendations specifically tailored for flight and combat simulators.

Our Mission

Our mission is to simplify the complex process of choosing the right PC hardware for simulators like Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, X-Plane 12, and DCS World. We believe that simulator pilots should spend more time in the air and less time troubleshooting frame rates.

Why We Started

Flight simulation is uniquely demanding. Unlike traditional games, simulators often depend heavily on single-core CPU performance and specific memory latencies. We realized that generic "gaming PC" advice often fails the flight sim community.

The Team

Our team consists of enthusiast flight simmers and hardware experts who understand the nuances of the hobby. We use data-driven analysis to provide the most accurate recommendations possible.
