What STRATOWARE PRIVATE LIMITED does

Stratoware Private Limited is an India-incorporated flight simulation content developer and Microsoft Partner that designs, produces, and distributes high-fidelity add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. Established in March 2026, the Mumbai-headquartered company absorbed the predecessor solo venture Project Stratosphere and operates under founder Aditya Sethi. Its catalog serves flight simulation enthusiasts globally and includes detailed helicopters (MBB Bo 105), fixed-wing aircraft (Kitfox Speedster Series 7), marine assets (Luxury Speedboat), and an expanding library of high-resolution livery packs covering the Airbus A320 family, A310, Boeing 747-8F, and Douglas DC-3.

The company's core technology centers on ultra-detailed 3D modeling, 8K PBR texture pipelines, and pilot-validated flight dynamics, with the flagship MBB Bo 105 helicopter developed over a two-year cycle in partnership with Miltech Simulations. Technical differentiators include 13 variant configurations on the Bo 105 (medical, military, police, aerobatic, mountain rescue, etc.), custom EFB application code with FLIR camera controls and state-saving, integration with PMS50's GTN750 avionics, and bespoke sound design by Echo 19 using recordings from a real-world airframe. Active community engagement is operationalized through a Discord server, YouTube trailers produced with AviationLads, blog/news updates, and physical presence at FSWeekend, with the brand carrying a 4.3-star average across 500+ reviews.

Stratoware monetizes through one-time perpetual digital purchases priced between $4.99 and $32.99 USD, plus a separate per-seat commercial license tier for flight training organizations, professional simulators, and corporate demonstrations. Distribution runs through a Shopify storefront, the MSFS in-game marketplace (Xbox, Steam, Microsoft Store, PlayStation), and seven third-party platforms including Simmarket, flightsim.to, Contrails.shop, and the iniBuilds store. The company operates without disclosed external investors or parent entities.
