  The LOPES experiment at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany, has
been measuring radio emission of air showers for almost 10 years. For a better
understanding of the emission process a detailed comparison of data with
simulations is necessary. This is possible using a newly developed detector
simulation including all LOPES detector components. After propagating a
simulated event through this full detector simulation a standard LOPES like
event file is written. LOPES data and CoREAS simulations can then be treated
equally and the same analysis software can be applied to both. This gives the
opportunity to compare data and simulations directly. Furthermore, the standard
analysis software can be used with simulations which provide the possibility to
check the accuracy regarding reconstruction of air shower parameters. We point
out the advantages and present first results using such a full LOPES detector
simulation. A comparison of LOPES data and the Monte Carlo code CoREAS based on
an analysis using this detector simulation is shown.
