Frequently Asked Questions

What is Airquake Simulations?

Airquake builds high-fidelity VR cockpits that replicate modern fighter ergonomics so sim pilots can train muscle memory and fly longer with less fatigue. Our pits are designed for DCS World, Microsoft Flight Simulator, X-Plane, and other PC flight sims.

Who is this for?

Serious simmers, content creators, flight schools, and VR arcades that want consistent no-look control indexing and a cockpit that feels like the real thing.

Which aircraft does the base cockpit emulate?

Our default geometry is F/A-18 style with center-stick and left-throttle. Other layouts, such as F-16 or generic center-console, are available on request.
