Cleaning day!

The good thing about a flight simulator is that it requires very little maintenance. Nevertheless, you should clean it regularly. But you know how it is: you often procrastinate, even though it doesn't take long at all. ;-)

A cloth will quickly prove ineffective due to the many buttons and switches. The easiest way is to use a vacuum cleaner with a suitable attachment. Windows and controls are best cleaned with mild soapy water. This is also perfectly adequate for disinfection.

Warning! Avoid harsh cleaning agents, such as chlorine-based disinfectants. You should also refrain from using glass cleaners on panels and flight controls, as this may cause the paint to peel off over time.

Happy clean flying!

Have a great new year 2026!

Your time-lapse video is funny. Especially when someone suddenly appears outside the cockpit window. We call that window cleaning and during the next stop at our homebase someone comes with a ladder and cleans the windows from the outside.
Thanks for your reminder - I should clean my cockpit, too... :-)
