Samdim Design is a group of enthusiasts animated by a common passion : Aeronautics. Samdim Design is specialized in creating add-ons for
Microsoft Flight Simulator. Like many other add-on developers, we are organized in a virtual team spread over different countries. Founded in
2002 by Dimitri Samborski, Samdim Design chose to create models of soviet aircraft - an inmense domain often overlooked by Western simmers.
In 2003, Nikolai Samsonov joined the team and became its permanent member. Later, many other developers participated and keep participating in
our projects. Our projects are mostly freeware but we also work for other payware add-on development
companies. People who worked and/or work with us are:
