What MILTECH SIMULATIONS LIMITED does

Miltech Simulations Limited is a UK-based private company headquartered in Kidderminster that develops and distributes high-fidelity military aviation add-ons for Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 and 2024. Founded in 1999 and operating from a single location, the company runs a catalog of 28 products spanning helicopters (MH60, CH47D, MV-22B Osprey, Bo 105), fixed-wing military aircraft (A-1 Skyraider, M2K-C), naval carriers (Supercarrier Pro, UK Carrier Strike Group, Amphibious Ready Group), scenery, and mission packs. Products are distinguished by period-accurate liveries, real-world pilot-validated flight dynamics, and authentic audio recordings sourced from actual aircraft, with the Bo 105 featuring 13 variant configurations and 50+ unique liveries. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via a Shopify-powered storefront with global multi-currency support, supplemented by an active Discord community, documentation hub, bug tracker, and support forum that drive product discovery and customer engagement without paid advertising.

The technology foundation centers on high-resolution 3D modeling, custom flight dynamics tuned by domain specialists, and integration with MSFS platform APIs (e.g., GTN750 GPS integration developed by partner PMS50). Beyond internal development, Miltech has built a co-development and distribution network involving Stratoware (Bo 105), Blackbird Simulations (MH60, A-1 Skyraider), Project Stratosphere, Sundownersim, SkyDesigners, and IM Scenery, allowing it to expand catalog breadth without proportional internal R&D spend. The company monetizes exclusively through one-time perpetual digital licenses priced between $3.99 and $37.99 USD, with no subscription component and gift cards starting at $10.

The company's customer base consists of flight simulation enthusiasts and historical aviation researchers globally, accessed via the Shopify storefront and engaged through community channels. Recognition includes the 2025 Hover Award at the Flight Sim Awards for the MH60 helicopter, validating quality standing within the MSFS add-on ecosystem. Miltech operates with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, no disclosed headcount, and no enterprise customers, positioning it as a privately-held niche content studio within the consumer flight simulation market.
