VIER IM POTT Blog

A few years ago we made a funny discovery with a company copying all of our products.

See here: Blog

Last week we found out that it happened again:

Wow. They even copied my personal story :-)

We kindly asked them to remove our products but they did not comply. So just to let you know: These guys are neither VIER IM POTT nor they are authorized reseller. If you order from them - you may get something else or nothing.

We are very proud to announce that our cockpit plays an important role in the NETFLIX production "Into the Night".

The well-known film production company Nu Boyana chose VIER IM POTT due to the reality and the modular structure of the cockpit shell.

Note: This is a feature film series. The actions in the flight simulator are (absolutely) not according to any flying standards (You will see!). In addition, modifications were made to the shell due to cinematic considerations!

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:

Another chapter of the book "only cool brands are copied".... :-)

We found this product by chance on the internet. It looks a lot like our original in the photo.

Actually, it's cool when we find one of our product images in a foreign shop.

Unfortunately have no business relationship with this company. We therefore doubt that customers will receive this product when purchasing it.

And look at the logo, color and the claim "Next generation ...". Guys, we are honored :-)

Friday, October 31st 2014 - Day 0

Hi all,

We arrived at Lelystad Aerodrome and started to setup our booth. Tomorrow will be showtime! ;-)

Saturday, November 1st 2014 - Day 1

We have a new product version available. The new A320 tiller is more robust and has a better durability and quality. It's delivered wired with connectors to compatible with common USB game controller or joystick cards. The indicator panel is now backlighted.

Find details in our shop.

It's always a pleasure to see our clients being successfully running their business with our cockpits.

Today we would like to promote Flightdeck L.E. in Leipzig, Germany.

If you a flight simulation enthusiast and you can register your flight for free.

We asked ourselves how we could make the immersion in the simulation even better and more realistic for you. The closed rear wall is perfect for this. It closes the cockpit from behind and gives you the irrefutable feeling of sitting in a real cockpi...

This is an older picture showing production of some MIP covers for our prototype.

The parts for our brand new overhead frame arrived. So let's see, if everything fits together... ;-)

We are working step by step on Sidestick Area. Today's challenge: The grill on the bottom of the stand.

Is there anybody out there who know what this grill is used for?

We have added another product closing the A320 pedestal series: the Alternate Gravity Gear Lever.

This version of the handle is not functional but looks awesome and fits perfectly to our pedestal box.

We are pleased to announce a product that the market has been waiting for. The development of our electric rudder pedals has been completed and the first production batch is now in final assembly. The mechanics of the pedals are completely elect...

Dear customers, due to massively increased purchase costs for materials, we may be forced to adjust the prices of individual products by December 31, 2022. All orders that are bindingly placed until the end of the year are not affected by this adjust...

The days are getting shorter again. Winter is coming. It is the ideal time to live out the travel fever in the cockpit. 

Is flight simulation a business? No doubt about it. Are we happy about sales? Of course! But it's the rare evenings we can spend in the simulator ourselves. Moments when we dive deep into the simulation and forget the world around us. We love flight ...

The friendly truck driver has brought a new toy for the flight simulator in the Bottrop showroom. In the next few days we will unpack and install it. We are already very excited! 

The days full of sunshine and warm weather have gone. Autumn is coming. We are back in the cockpit improving our landing skils.

It has been a long time since we first exhibited our simulators in Lelystad. My goodness, we were still young back then :-) Admittedly, we don't go to trade fairs as exhibitors any more. The effort is simply too great. But we still like to go there a...

Nothing beats the original. The team has interfaced an OEM sidestick mechanic for one of our professional customers.
