Background

The story of Captain Sim dates back to the 1970's when four small boys, Alex, Eugene, Andrey and Sergey, fell in love with the immense and infinite sky.
Their fathers were fighter pilots and the boys grew up on air bases watching fighters flying and enjoying the "ballet of the skies".

As kids they made wood and paper planes and by the 1980's they were building control-line models and collecting plastic kits. While at high school they went skydiving and also spent many hours flying full-motion MiG flight simulators. All of this prepared them well for real aviation.

In 1988, Alex, Eugene, Andrey and Sergey entered the Chernigov Higher Fighter Pilot School and started flying jets themselves. In 1992, they received their Fighter Pilot Wings, degrees in Aeronautics and continued their service in the Air Force, flying fighters, jet airliners, cargo turboprops and different flight simulators.

One day in the mid 1990's, they installed a copy of Microsoft's Flight Simulator 95, and were amazed by its features. However, they felt that the aircraft, the quality of the panels and the realism were less impressive. "Let's make it better, - they said, - we know how!" - that was the key to success.

Between 1998 and 2000, with a group of friends, they released a series of freeware projects including a Tupolev Tu-134 panel, as well as An-26 and L-39 aircraft and panels. These models became very popular among simmers due to their high levels of accuracy and realism.

Captain Sim is Born

Inspired by an increasing number of fans, the pilots decided to turn their hobby into a real business. It was evident that there was no better recipe for success than doing what they were really experts in.

The company was founded in December 1999, offering expansions for the Microsoft Flight Simulator. Since its establishment, Captain Sim has developed quite a reputation for creating highly accurate versions of passenger and combat aircraft for the flight simulation community.
