I believe Perpar3D powers the Redbird simulators [1] some of which are accepted by the FAA as AATDs (Advanced Aviation Training Device), meaning they can be used for a portion of the training requirements for the Private Pilots Cerficate (often called a license), Instrument Rating, etc. I've trained using one and while they're not perfect, they do save you some money and time with certain procedures. They're also great for more accurately simulating subtle systems failures. [1] https://simulators.redbirdflight.com/ https://simulators.redbirdflight.com/
