Have a look at Subpart 60.B of CASR and the AC for Part 60, hdus001. (Then ask CASA for an estimate of the fee it would charge you to have your simulator qualified. That estimate may be - hmmmm - eye opening.)
Thanks, will do. I did hear about someone who built one based on the Elite At-11 software and an Elite Avionics stack and had someone from CASA come home and inspect it and got the paperwork done so it can be used for IFR recency. This is all second hand information, unable to contact that person directly, so trying to understand more detail / other alternative options from those who've done this before. I have emailed Elite too to see if they can provide any guidance.
