Real sim gear. Real users. Real-world feedback.

The Grim Reapers Product Testers are real-world pilots and long-time flight simulation enthusiasts who test flight simulator hardware, software, VR equipment, mounts, cockpit kit, accessories, and related products in practical use.

We are not a formal test lab. We are daily users of sim gear, with real experience of using, comparing, adjusting, and reviewing flight simulation products in real-world sim environments.

Our aim is simple: honest, practical feedback from real-world users reviewing flight sim hardware in a real-world way.

History

In 2017, Cap began testing various flight simulator-related hardware and software after manufacturers requested reviews of their products. These reviews were published on YouTube and shared across Grim Reapers social media platforms.

By 2019, manufacturer review requests had grown significantly, and an organised group of Grim Reapers members was assigned to help create product reviews.

Today, the Grim Reapers Product Testers continue that work by providing practical feedback for the flight simulation community, helping viewers make informed decisions about the products they may be considering.
