Flight Simulation is about passion and dedication. And even our van for European deliveries shows this dedication.... ;-)

You may ask you why we partly show very little details of our products on our website. Well, you can see below a reason for this.

There are people outside that not only take our product ideas and pictures but also copy our text and claims word by word.

We really feel flattered. Only cool brands are copied by others. ;-)

“We started in 2015 with the clear goal of building an A320 cockpit simulator for commercial use in Leipzig, Germany. At first we had to find a supplier for electrical parts and all required structural components. Ideally for a complete solution. Furthermore we needed a reliably partner who supports us and ensures that we can run our business continuously.

After some research we made contact with VIER IM POTT and after some kind email communication it became clear – we found the right partner for our project. On the pictures of their website everything looked very convincing and original but we wanted to see it in real before investing our money.

We took the chance to visit the production site in Dresden and we were quite impressed about quality of the cockpit components and the knowledge paired with enthusiasm of the VIER IM POTT team. All questions had been answered.

Once decision has been made we very excitingly looking forward to the delivery. Due to the distance to Dresden we picked up components ourselves and started building the simulator in Leipzig. As a very early customer we experienced some minor difficulties but the team was helping fast and solution oriented and we could clearly see that they wanted us to be successful.

Have you ever wondered where the name "VIER IM POTT" comes from? Well, the name has a history and this is a little hint to solve the puzzle... :-)

One of our first customers had a visit from two easyJet pilots. A good change to test our products and the new beta version of ProSim A320. Thanks for the picture, Pim.

First series of floor boxes. Not finished and still unpainted but already looking promising... ;-)

Did we say we personally deliver our products within Europe? Maybe we should think about this again. Delivery to France. The first traffic jam at 5:00 a.m.

And the last in the late afternoon.

You can bet we love this job. But sometimes it's really hard... ;-)

Deliveries within Europe are most likely done by ourselves. Our directly by our customers who pick-up parts in Dresden. Last week an A320 shell has been delivered to Hamburg...

We are always ready for special challenges. This time our customer had less than 2.5 m width available for his cockpit. We designed a solution that needs even less space but gives a very impressive feeling while flying.

Many thanks to our visitors at the FS Konferenz in Berlin last week. It was a real pleasure to be there with there.

Customers testing our A320 setup in detail.

In Berlin we presented some parts of our lining kit series.

The first components from the current shell series are assembled and tested before painting. Watch out all the details and realistic look!

VIER IM POTT at the FSweekend 2015 in Lelystad, Netherlands. Many thanks for visiting us.
It was a real pleasure to meet existing customers, potential new customers, partners and many friends from the FS scene. We had a fantastic time and hope to see you all next time again.

Touch it, feel it. Our visitors are invited to test all knobs and functions...

After work party in the hotel... ;-)

...to reality!

 Prototype has been finished!

Busy weekend. We had a great time yesterday at Cosford RAF Museum showing the latest developments to the public. Thanks to all our visitors for their interest and a lot of nice conversations.

We often get the question, how to install a side stick on a joystick mechanic. Markus from Austria has kindly taken the trouble and documented the whole procedure for cockpit builders:

 Tools you need:

• Wood Saw
• Wirecutter
• telephone pliers
• Dremel (alternative: file)
• Soldering iron (15W) + solder
• Allen wrench

1. Remove of the original handle
Remove all the screws on the handle, (there are two screws below the rubber sleeve). On the bottom part of the handle there is a tap that holds the two parts of the handle together.

Shell prototyping in progress. Shortly we will have all openings closed and production of the final parts will start.

We have completely redesigned the MIP structure. More metal, more stability, more durability but still the same great real look and feel.

Ben demonstrates stability of our new side bases. Probably you can also throw them out of the window without any damage, but we did not try... ;-)

The new side bases have lots of details like the structured surface, floor light preparation, lamp holder, etc.

But the most important difference is that they are now made of fiber glass. This makes the side base very stable! We will soon proof this... ;-)

We continue working on the shell and the interior lining kit with high priority. Meanwhile 3D becomes a reality...
