Testimonials
“I have been so frustrated trying to set up peripherals and settings for MSFS 20 and I was about to stop using MSFS 20! However, in an hour Ben had resolved my issues and I was able to take off, fly and land single eng., single complex, twin and Citation jet !!! Ben gave me many helpful tips and resources for Sectional and IFR charts and a 1 page list of keyboard shortcuts. I highly recommend the process established by FlightsimCoach. It is well organized, staffed with highly qualified professionals well versed in Flight Sim technology. I will definitely use Ben again off additional assistance and training as needed.”
“Ben was amazing. Although my iMac has limitations which prevent 100% performance with X-Plane, he found a method to give me the best results possible. I will be scheduling another appointment with Ben in the next few weeks to answer any questions which arise as I continue to use the X-Plane program and my Honeycomb hardware. I couldn’t have been more pleased.”
“It was a great session. Ben knew exactly what to do to setup the flight sim components. Couldn’t have asked for better. Great job.”
“Ben was worth every penny. If any X12 MacOS user is having difficulty give him a shout. You’ll be up and running in no time at all.”
“Ben was able to get all of my custom ortho scenery packs working. I have a Mac M1 and it is a little more work for Ben but he fixed everything. He also showed me how to use WED [WorldEditor]. I am now able to build my own airports, neighborhoods, Helipads etc.”
“Ben’s specialist knowledge of flight sims is impressive. He solved all my problems that could be solved remotely, quickly, efficiently and with enormous patience. Complex flight sims being what they are I just know that there will be problems in the future, and it is good to know Ben is out there, able to take over my screen to get things flying again.”
“Absolutely fantastic and solved many of my challenges in the time we had allotted. Great value, very much appreciate it.”
“Ben was pleasant, efficient, and knowledgeable. He was able to resolve the issues I needed help with. Great experience. Thank you!”
“Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful!”
“WELL WORTH THE MONEY. After a brief conversation with Ben, I felt he knew exactly what I was trying to accomplish. I spent over 7 hours trying to get my system right, to no avail. Within 30 minutes, Ben had my system up and running better than I expected. Ben knew I was an actual student pilot on a Cessna 172. He configured the controls to work just as a 172 would. I don’t know how often I said “Wow!” when Ben showed me new items.”
“Ben is a very knowledgeable and patient person. He quickly diagnosed the issue, which allowed me to start using my flight simulator. Thank you Ben!”
“Finally found someone that could get me up and flying again. Great that they can remotely get on your computer and get you back in the air. I appreciate it very much. If you have a problem with Flt Sim 2020 don’t hesitate to contact these folks.”
“Your program is outstanding, Ben was very punctual, friendly, and easy to understand. He obviously knows how to program computers. I appreciate the time he took with me.”
“Ben Myburg was the answer to all of my problems with my sim. A super professional that planned out the solution to a perfect setup. The ability for a pro to get inside my sim and optimize my needs was the key.”
“He was a great help in adjusting my system to its maximum potential, and gave me a better understanding of simulation in general, and how to advance to a more robust system when the time comes. Thank you again for your help!”
“Thanks Ben, Appreciate the support! As a rookie in the flight sim world, Ben was an excellent resource to fine-tune my Windows PC and VR headset to the optimal settings. “
“Very informative and precise. Took the guesswork out of what I needed to advance my hardware for my Flight Sim.”
“Ben was excellent – knows his stuff and helped me identify it was my VR headset that needs an upgrade not my PC or software settings. He was first class. Many thanks.”
“Without Ben’s help, I could not even come close to using the full potential of the systems that were available to me. Looking forward to the challenging flights ahead.”

About me
I’m a long-time flight sim user with extensive hands-on experience with a wide range of flight simulation hardware and software. I can help you build a flight simulator setup that fits your goals and budget.
I own an engineering consulting company and have extensive flight experience. I started flying as a junior in high school and went to ATP Flight School to become a CFI, CFII, and MEI.
I also started a flight school which I grew to become one of the largest ones in Tennessee. During that time, I was able to attain approximately 3000 flight hours in a wide variety of aircraft, from float planes to business jets. I have experience with tailwheel and high-performance aircraft, as well as flying aerobatics and into grass strips.
VR (Virtual Reality) has been a focal point of my recent work, and one of my recent projects is the flight simulator system for the Red Bull Air Race, which allows the flight controls of an actual aircraft to be used as a USB input with flight simulator programs like X-Plane or MFS2020.
