Precision Upgrades and Repairs for
Flight Simulator Visual Systems
A simulator is only as strong as its visual system. At SIM OPS, we specialise in maintaining, repairing, and modernising visual systems for Flight Simulation Training Devices (FSTDs) across all major manufacturers. With years of hands-on experience, dedicated tools, and global reach, we deliver fast, accurate, and cost-effective solutions that extend the lifespan of your device and improve training quality.
Mylar Mirror Skins Replacement
Mylar degradation is one of the most common visual issues affecting simulator availability. SIM OPS provides a complete reskinning service designed for reliability and regulatory compliance.
Our focus is to minimise downtime while restoring image quality and optical accuracy.
What we offer:
- Large stock of high-quality mylar skins ready for worldwide shipment
- In-house reskinning equipment for fast response and consistent results
- Geometry checks after reskinning to verify alignment and compliance
- Capability to replace mylar skins across most mirror manufacturers
Mirror and Screen Cleaning
Aged or contaminated mirrors compromise visual clarity and degrade pilot training. We clean mylar mirrors, fold mirrors, and front or rear projection screens using techniques designed to protect delicate surfaces.
This service is ideal for routine upkeep or for preparing a simulator before audits or qualification events.
Features:
- Safe cleaning processes for sensitive mylar
- Dry-cleaning option to reduce risk during maintenance
- Cleaning for full visual assemblies including projection surfaces
