Latvian simulation developer Softeksim TM is marking 20 years in the aviation training industry with new simulator platforms, expanded product lines and continued investment in advanced training technologies.

Combining in-house software development, hardware integration, and certification-focused design, the company has steadily expanded its portfolio of training devices. Over the past year, Softeksim has introduced several important updates and new products aimed at improving accessibility, efficiency, and realism in aviation training.

Expanding the Portfolio: STS-B7MAX Simulator

One of the latest additions to the Softeksim portfolio is the STS-B7MAX, a cost-effective flight simulator designed for commercial aircraft training.

This simulator is intended to provide professional-level simulation  while managing investment costs. It offers an entry-level configuration that can be  upgraded to an EASA FNPT II MCC level, allowing operators to scale their training capacity as requirements evolve.

This upgrade flexibility is supported by Softeksim’s long-term investment in high-fidelity software. Over many years, the company has built advanced simulation models covering avionics, aerodynamics, aircraft systems, and other components essential for realistic training environments.

The result is a scalable architecture where sophisticated software can be combined with modular hardware, enabling customers to expand their systems without replacing the entire simulator platform.

Additionally, Softeksim’s internal software development ensures reliable support and efficient communication with customers for maintenance and updates.

New FNPT II P-Mentor Simulator

Another major development is the new EASA FNPT II P-Mentor simulator, which also meets AATD and FAA Level 5 requirements. This simulator replicates the modern P-Mentor aircraft, which is rapidly gaining attention as a potential game-changer in aviation training.

The real aircraft features advanced technology such as the G3X glass avionics system and a ROTAX engine, combining modern cockpit technology with efficient performance. Softeksim’s simulator reproduces this aircraft configuration in detail, creating an immersive and realistic training environment for student pilots and instructors.

The simulator design incorporates numerous genuine Tecnam components, providing accurate cockpit ergonomics and authentic control behaviour. At the same time, Softeksim has maintained its core philosophy: making professional flight simulators accessible to as many training organizations as possible.

The P-Mentor simulator allows aviation schools to train pilots on modern aircraft systems without the operational costs associated with real aircraft training hours.

Proven Reliability: The Tecnam P2006 Simulator

One of Softeksim’s long-standing products is the Tecnam P2006 flight simulator. First introduced in 2011, it was the world’s first simulator for this aircraft type and has since accumulated an impressive operational history.

Designed as an EASA FNPT II and AATD-level simulator, the P2006 model offers an excellent balance between investment cost and training quality. Many of these simulators have been operating for years with thousands of training hours and without any technical issues.

Over the past fifteen years, Softeksim has continuously refined the design based on customer feedback and operational experience. This long-term collaboration with flight schools has resulted in a highly stable and reliable simulator platform with hundreds of thousands of accumulated flight hours worldwide.

One of the most practical features of this simulator is its flexible configuration. The system supports both SEP (Single Engine Piston) and MEP (Multi-Engine Piston) training modes. With a simple software selection and replacement of a single throttle cable column, the simulator can switch between configurations. This allows training centres to expand their course offerings without purchasing an entirely separate simulator.

For customers who require a dedicated configuration, Softeksim also offers a specialized FNPT II Tecnam P2010 TDI SEP simulator, which will soon be installed at a state aviation university in Scandinavia. More information and updates about this project are available on the Softeksim website.

Expanding into Cabin Crew Simulation

In addition to pilot training devices, Softeksim has expanded its capabilities into the field of cabin crew training simulators. Development and manufacturing for these projects are conducted at the company’s base in Spain.

Softeksim has already completed cabin crew simulators based on genuine aircraft fuselage structures, including ATR 72/42 and Dash-8 Q400 platforms. These simulators allow airlines and training organizations to conduct realistic emergency and safety training for cabin crew members in a controlled environment.

The company also invites partners and customers interested in developing new cabin crew simulators based on real aircraft fuselage structures. Such projects can be customized according to specific training requirements, providing flexible and realistic solutions for aviation safety training.

Integration of VR Technology

As part of its commitment to innovation, Softeksim has also been working on integrating virtual reality (VR) technologies into training environments. These solutions can be implemented as part of existing flight simulators or developed as standalone VR training devices.

VR technology opens new possibilities for immersive training scenarios, including procedural training, emergency simulations, and environment familiarization. By combining VR systems with traditional simulator technology, Softeksim aims to expand the capabilities of modern aviation training tools.

Diamond Aircraft Simulators and Custom Projects

Softeksim continues to support its  DA40 and DA42 simulators, which are installed in several training centres. One example is the simulator operating in Innsbruck, Austria, at the Flugsportzentrum Tirol, which has been working under Austro Control certification for more than five years.

Beyond standard simulator models, Softeksim is known for its ability to develop custom simulation devices tailored to specific customer requirements. Examples include simulators based on complex aircraft platforms such as the C208 FNPT II MCC and specialized devices for autogyro training clubs.

This flexibility allows Softeksim to serve a wide range of aviation organizations, from universities and flight schools to specialized training institutions.

Global Presence

Today, Softeksim simulators operate in many regions around the world. The company has installations across Asia—including Indonesia, Thailand, and China—as well as in the United States, Africa, and most European countries.

This global presence demonstrates the company’s commitment to supporting customers regardless of location. Softeksim provides installation, technical support, and long-term cooperation with training organizations worldwide.

Looking Ahead

With over twenty years of experience in the flight simulation industry, Softeksim continues to focus on innovation, reliability, and accessibility. By combining advanced software development with flexible hardware platforms, the company aims to provide training solutions that meet the evolving needs of modern aviation.

Whether customers are looking for entry-level simulators, certified training devices, or fully customized simulation projects, Softeksim invites aviation professionals to explore its solutions and consult with the company before making investment decisions.
