Customer Comments
Below are just some of the many great comments we have received over the years. For a brief time we allowed comments to be placed directly on each product page but they were quickly filled with spam and unrelated product track-backs rather than intended customer comments so we disabled the “easy comment” feature long ago.
Now that we have a dedicated comments page please feel free to email us at simsamurai@gmail.com and share any stories you may have of how we have helped you or how we can can improve. We will gladly drop it in here and will only include your last name and first initial for anonymity.
Thank you for your comments, we greatly appreciate them!

“I don’t know how often you get emails complimenting you on your work, but your guide is fantastic. To describe your guide as the “Ultimate” is a big understatement, this guide is required reading for anyone who is thinking about a home flight simulator or is interested in raising FS9 or FSX beyond just a game. As a rated pilot who has done technical writing for McDonnell Douglas I have (I believe) a little more insight to the work you have put into this and again you are to be complimented for the time and hard work you have done to compile this information and to put into a form that is technical yet, with a little patience, is easily understandable. I can’t wait for the upgrade and the new guide you are producing for Prepar3D, but I can’t see how you can top yourself.
Great work, Happy flying” – M. Laughlin

“I’ve always had a love of ‘flying’ Flight Simulator, but only used the very first version circa 15 or more years ago, but used to spend hours flying round robin around Southern California small airports. I loved it then, but put it down for some danged reason. Last night I happened to run across your videos on YouTube and then went to your website where I literally spent HOURS just LOVING what you have put together! I am revitalized at the thought of putting something together and starting ‘flying’ again! My hat is off to you. I just wanted to express my appreciation for what you have done, and the time & care, and obvious love you put into your endevour. Thank you for you work and passion!” – D. Thomson

“First of all, thanks for making Globe Trekker 1000. It is fantastic! It takes us to places we never even heard of; to dozens of great little airports, and scenery that is varied and beautiful. You have done an incredible amount of work putting together a product that gives flight simulation a whole new dimension. You should be charging double what you ask for it” – K. Wilson

“Hi, I found your great website because I first found your free FSUIPC guide online which had instantly helped me set up my simulator controls. I have owned the registered version of FSUIPC for several years but never used it because it was so difficult to figure out. Your guide instantly solved my problems and got me flying how I wanted. I really appreciate the help and will be ordering your UGTAFS next.” – J. Philips

“I want to say thank you for the UGTAFS. I am blown away by how much work and detail you have put into it. This is most definitely something every serious flight simmer should own. You haven’t overlooked a single subject. I’m very impressed with it.” – C. McDermit

“Thank you for all of the added technical advice you have provided to me. It’s nice to have the added support that goes beyond a standard product purchase. While the plans are already very detailed, it’s nice to be able to bounce ideas off the person who created them. Thank you.” - G. Humphrey

“Just a quick note to say a big thank you. After having received all the emails with the plans and all the manuals, etc. that I ordered, I have today collected my parts for the DK-2 Katana sim desk. Magnificent! I must say a very big THANK YOU once again – your response to my order, your delivery times, etc. have been excellent, and the material has been worth every penny! Unfortunately, I had already built my own concept for a Flight Sim Desk before I came across your website, but since receiving your items I have decided to break this up, and to follow your plans from now on!” – J. McCarter

“Hi, I first tuned into your website maybe two years ago or so. First things first, your site is killer and it has always struck me as the most professional, most helpful sim cockpit site I’ve been able to find. It’s easy to see that you have put in a lot of time into it.” – J. Stone

“Hi, I found your site from your YouTube videos and am really impressed with what you have put togther. Thank you for the efforts as I don’t think there is anyone else doing what you do. It’s great to have someone provide things like this as I know if I tried to design a cokpit myself, I would screw it up. I think your plans are great and for a novice like me they are easy to understand.” – B. Collins

“When you present a nice webesite like yours (that gives us hope that maybe after all, there is a 2D panel builder out there who can help) you should expect hordes of people contacting you.” – R. Baak

“I want to say thank you for the plans. I was a little nervous about taking on a project like this as I was worried that I did not have all the skills needed to build a big cockpit. Anyway, the plans and manual were excellent and suffice to say I built it over a few months of my spare time and am extremely happy with the results.” – M. Garritt

“First I want to preface this by saying, “awesome product”. I am so pleased with everything that I have received from you at simsamurai. Having received my plans, builder manual and UGTAFS, I am beginning the process of budgeting and planning out my AX-1 shell and computer build. / Once again I would like to state, that you have a beautiful product that you are putting out and I can’t wait to get everything rolling on building my new cockpit. Thank you for what you do. I can’t explain to my wife enough that flight simulation is not “just a video game”, so thank you for keeping us enthusiasts sane.” – T. Franz

“Just a little feedback from UGTAFS for you. Simply fantastic … I cannot think of anything you haven’t covered and covered very well. It was absorbing reading and whilst I learnt nothing really regarding the tweaks for FS9 (I had virtually covered everything you wrote about) it was certainly comprehensive and valuable advice for an experienced FSX simmer. I have also learnt so very much about everything else and can see it still being a very valuable resource in the distant future. I cannot thank you enough for a very worthwhile and reasonably priced product.” – C. Chilcott

“Thank you for all your help and advice in this endeavor. There is no way I could have ever set all this up by myself and like you have said before, you could easily spend a year head scratching through forums trying to get everything going. All your products really do deliver the goods. It still took a little time but it’s all in there for sure. Thanks for the help.” – T. Crawford

“I wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying your In-Flight Bible series. For an old pilot like me wanting to get back into flying it has been a tremendous resource for brushing up on knowledge and skills. I really don’t think you missed anything and I don’t know how you did it, but you really did compress the VFR and IFR ratings into one great study guide. Thank you. This will never leave my flight bag.” S. Alderman

“After reading through your UGTAFS I must say that I am throughly impressed. The knowlege is very in-depth and the links to outside resources is also comprehensive. I am glad to have found your website and will soon be ordering a cockpit plan set. Thanks again for the tech manual.” – P. Howsham.
