Vertical Reality Simulations, LLC was founded in 2004 by Jon Blum. VRS provides consumer and commercial-level military simulation and training software based on the Microsoft FS2004, FSX and ESP platforms. Our unique approach to fly-by-wire modeling and control law scheduling on micro-simulator platforms enables us to provide accurate solutions costing many times less than traditional training solutions of similar fidelity.

VRS's flagship product, the F/A-18E "Superbug" has been one of the best-selling military add-ons in FS history, and is currently being distributed in partnership with PMDG in some of the largest US electronics retailers, including Best Buy, Fry's Electronics, GameStop and MicroCenter.

In addition to continuing to enhance our Fly-by-wire control systems, VRS is poised to bring the first true combat capability to FSX and Lockheed Martin's Prepar3D platforms in both single and multi-player environments through a series of modules we call the TacPack. True object-based weapons systems simulation and radar warning receiver integration will position the TacPack as the first and only system of its kind to offer battle-ready simulation combined with the expansive and accurate environments offered by the FSX/Prepar3D™ platforms. The initial TacPack suite is scheduled for release in Spring, 2011.
