...how to efficiently transport a complete simulator to the second floor of a building. Respect, Paolo and Allessandro! A really creative and brave solution.Nice move :-)

Dear all! 

From December 20th 2021 we will let this year fade out. We are back on January 10th 2022.

See you next year. Stay safe and confident!

We are proud to tell you that the new Netflix production "Into the night" uses our VIER IM POTT flight simulator for the cockpit internal scenes in the new season 2. Due to Covid restrictions all over Europe the cockpit was transported from the season 1 shooting location in Sofia to Brussels. There the scenes for season 2 have been taken. Watch the trailer here.

We love to see customer projects growing. Many thanks for sharing these prictures, Ian!

Congratulations to our customer The Pilot Center in Athens, Greece  for the award as Travellers’ Choice 2021 by Tripadvisor. You have done a remarkable job and we are proud that we were able to support with our A320 flight simulator.

Dear all, 

Our company will be closed for summer break from July 26th until August 17th. All messages will be answered later. In case of emergency support please use the established communication channels.

Hope to see you soon again. Stay safe!

Some young and committed film students have decided to make a short film. The story is not revealed, but it takes place in an airplane cockpit. We were happy to support the young people and made the showroom simulator available. The short film is to be shown at various film festivals. We are looking forward to the result.

We have a new toy at our production site in Dresden that allows us to produce larger products. Stay tuned to see what we mean by that. :-)

Dear Customers,

With the driver update to 466.27 nVidia has fixed the issue that may let Prepa3D crash or fail to launch. You can update your drivers now.

From time to time we show other companies copying our products or taking our product pictures without asking. Here is an update from a company we already know doing this since two years now.

See here: Only cool brands are copied (part 3).

This company has taken our product picture and refused to remove it from their website.

Here is what customers get, when buying from there:

VIER IM POTT is always using original product pictures in product descriptions on this website.

Dear Customers,

the latest nVidia driver are delivered with a bug that may cause P3D to crash. This issue has been reported by Lockheed Martin and confirmed by nVidia. For now there is no solution for it. We suggest NOT to upate your drivers and stay with v461.92 WHQL until a solution is available.

Our customers can choose from more than 200 different products. To make it easy as possible we invented a configuration tool to calculate different product combinations. During the last months we have upgraded this tool. Now you can configure Premium Plug & Fly and Self-Builder Cockpits, manage multiple configurations and even send configurations to us for a further recommendation.

VOR Training & Flight Solutions S.A.C. has successfully launched their FSTD in Lima, Peru. The local team did an awesome job! Thank you for a great collaborative project.

Despite of the mandatory software you need to run a Premium A320 Flight Simulator there is a couple of additional software you can use to increase realism and flight experience. In this article we list some ideas for additional software you might like. This list is based on our personal experience without claim of completeness.

Scenery and Airports

Orbx is a great source to improve your simulator visuals accros the entire globe. In other words. Orbx is more or less essential for every simulator. In addition you will find mamy add-on airports to improve your local scenery. We personally like the fact that all software comes with one central management software (Orbx Central) which makes installation and maintenance very easy.

Simmarket is a very big market place to find additional software. You can buy add-ons from different vendors in one central store. We personally like that you have all serial numbers and downloads in one single place.

Weather

Hifisimtech provides a software called Active Sky P3D. This add-on allows you to inject real weather into your simulator environment so that you can always fly under the current weather conditions. It also provides historical weather so you can recall interesting weather conditions any time.

TOGAprojects has quite nice software to improve colors, shadings and textures to acheive an ultimate visual experience in your simulator. We like the combination of Envtex and EnvShade especially in a multi-projector environment.

Navigation Data

Navigraph provides actuell navigational data for your flight planning and navigation systems. It has interfaces to all majore software add-ons that requires navigational data like waypoints, SIDs, STARs etc. We love the fact that you can use this software on PC and iPad as well. For us this software is mandatory if you want to keep your navigational data up do date. Navigraph provides this data based on a subscription model with a yearly fee. Data update is very easy via a download manager.

Flight Planning

Simbrief is the first point of contact if it comes to flight planning. This web based application makes flight planning really easy. You will not only get a very detailled OFP. You can also export your flight plan to different applications like P3D and other. Very useful: you can directly import a simbrief flightplan into the ProSimA320 FMS so that you don't need to type in your route manually.

SimToolkitPro is a very powerful flight simulation companion that provides a huge load of functions all around your flying activities. Flight planning, flight logging, landing reports, flight historie, live map, etc.

Ground Services

FS2Crew offers an add-on called Ultimate Ground Crew X. This add-on is integrated into P3D and provides several interactive ground services like Push-Back, follow-me car, marshalling and serveral emergencies. If you want to improve your ground experience then you should have a look into this tool.

Virtual Crew

Self-Loading-Cargo is a real-time simulation of passengers and cabin crew. It allows you to interact with a virtual crew, take care of passengers and make sure that your flight behaviour stays within acceptable limits. Otherwise you will hear screaming passengers....

Engine Sounds

Turbine Sound Studios offer a great replacement for the A320 engine sounds. For CFM as well as for the IAE engines.
