We are happy to announce that VIER IM POTT has finished its first project in Greece. The Pilot Center recently opened its doors to the public giving customers extraordinary flight experience in Athens.

When you are in Athens, make sure you visit: The Pilot Center

With a little love the sim will look like brand new and never used. Just remove dust and clean windows...

We proudly announce that one of our full scope simulators is going to play the lead role in a movie! The production team has choosen VIER Im POTT as our products are very realistic and modular in use. We eagerly await the release.

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 :-)

No it's not! Flying with real flight simulation enthusiasts can be a lot of fun. Thanks Tommi and Anna for a great evening with a lot of laughter and sweating. The 60 million EUR bill for the broken plane you get in the next few days ... :-)

...is a pilot and calls you from office. :-)

We definitely need more space. And we will get some! In Q4/2019 VIER IM POTT will be moving to a larger factory/office in Dresden.

We finally updated our sim with a significant new feature. More to come... :-)

It's a pleasure for us to promote our commercial customer Aero-Simulation by JetCity in France, near Paris-Orly. The simulator is located in the Delta Museum and mainly used for public activity. 
   

"We are proud to use a VIER IM POTT simulator. Our customers are really impressed by the realism and quality of the shell. Most professional pilots express that it feels "like a real cockpit" when they fly with it. Congratulations to the VIER IM POTT team and thanks again." 

- Pierre Letessier., France
   

The simulator is mainly used for public activity and it can also be adapted for handicap people using a wheelchair on boths sides. Some real pilots are in contact with Aero Simulation to use the sim as a private training device before their own exams. As they are located in the Delta Museam they can offer a visit of the famous concored after the flight.

One of our customers has built a closed single-seater cockpit with a 180° outside view. To give flight simulator enthusiasts some hints for building such a cockpit, we include the description of his construction in our blog. On the other hand, we are interested in learning about a potential demand for prefabricated VIER IM POTT parts for a single seater. Please contact us if you have questions or suggestions.

Design Objectives

• The simulator fits in a small room.
• The simulator can be positioned in a corner of the room in order to save floor space. To provide adequate access for maintenance work, the simulator is relocatable off the walls.
• The simulator can be disassembled. Even the largest part can be fed through a standard size door (73.5 x 198.5 cm).
• 180 degree outside view with 4K TV monitors. TVs have been preferred over projectors/screens as they use less space, have more luminance and a better contrast ratio.

Construction

• Dimension of the simulator: 240 x 170 x 200 cm (width x depth x height).
• The simulator base consists of two 19 mm MDF boards (170 x 120 cm) bolted together. 24 rotating wheels are attached to the bottom of the boards:

To keep the simulator base free from intruding screws, the wheels and struts are glued to the boards. This ensures area-wide 19 mm depth for wood insert nuts.

• All decomposable parts of the simulator are tied together by M bolts and nuts:

Wood screws have only been used for the reinforcement of non-detachable bonds.

The cockpit rack (side stays and roof beams) is built for adequate load bearing and torsion resistance:
   
   

Some VIER IM POTT shell frame parts have been shortened to make the shell frame fit onto the simulator base plate. The overhead panel is suspended to a roof cross-beam in order to obviate positioning restrictions for the monitors.

It's a honour, to introduce the first VIER IM POTT Flight Simulator in the Seoul Simulation Center in South Korea.

The simulator has been pre-assembled in Germany. The final installation was done by the local team with remote support from us.

Congratulations - Good job!

We know you missed as at the FSweekend 2018 in Lelystad. So here is the story why we could not join. 
For sure this video is not meant serious :-)

We recently had a visit from a pilot team from Spain. It was really intersting to see how differently professionals test our products. Private customers usually intend to fly the aircraft perfectly. Commercial customers always try to brake the plane and do something they are not allowed in real simulators... :-)

Interesting departure from Graz. Heading west towards Friedrichshafen.

We simply love flying!

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.

Hi all, 

Some customers have asked us for tricks on how to defeat the dust in a simulator without having to disassemble everything or damage the panels. So here's the way we do it.

First, we need to locate the vacuum cleaner in the house. With a furniture brush with very soft bristles (such as horsehair), the dust can be removed even from the smallest corners and the Sim looks like new again. In addition, this procedure does not take long and you can fly back quickly.

Almost ready! :-)

How to plan a home cockpit - Lecture of Christian, VIER IM POTT

We are testing some updates from Fly-Elise and re-calibrate our the visual system. Colors are much brighter and everything look nice and sharp. Now it's impressive like it should be again.
