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.

We proudly present our most realistic A320 flight simulator at the International Trade Show for General Aviation in Friedrichshafen. Looking forward to seeing you there!

Our new video shows true love to detail with the example of our VIER IM POTT A320 Trainer.

You can find details and prices in our online-shop or our configurator.

Our showroom simulator in Bottrop received a little upgrade. With the help of the kids we successfully installed a Skalarki refueling panel.

Question: "Can up to ten kids get an A320 from cold and dark into the air and keep it there with no preparation and only with verbal help?"

Answer: "Yes, they can!" We had several dual input issues ;-) And passengers (parents) were scared to death, but they kept the airplane up and the flight was only finished after some severe engine fires...

Congrats boys! Well done!

We often receive message from customers who are interested in an A320 flight simulator but are also faced with room size restrictions.

For those customers we invented our modular shell frame system which allows different holds for overheads and professional or home made shell liner components.

Today we feel we should explain the principle of this system a bit. Enjoy the video...

During our planning phase we decided for a little fancy fun thing. This annunciator lights green when the sim is powered. The other field is red an should be connected with the door look switch to avoid any distorbance during take-off and approach (not sure if my wife and kids will comply with these signs, but at least I can show them the flight status. And that's all about... :-)

We made ourselves comfortable and will now start with the software installation. We have run through the installation process of Prepar3D (v3), Skalarki Profiler (Version 5), ProSimA320 (Version 1.03 latest beta) and FSUIPC4. One note if you have missed that: you will need a paid version of FSUIPC4 to run ProSimA320.

First we start with setup of the Skalarki Profiler. This is rather easy as the profiler software is delivered already with the correct matching of hardware button with the Prosim software.

If you have successfully installed Skalarki drivers (see last article) you will find the profiler like this. One hint: Profiler software starts minimzed. So search for it in the desktop tray.

We stop the SDK Mode. P & P Hardware shows YES for all components we have (hey - for sure we need the refuel panel some day.... :-)

Next step: Cockpit floor.

Important hint: Do not buy the cheapest carpet you can. Simply image how many hours it will take to replace it ;-)

Placing the carpet seems to be rather easy from a customers point of view. Even cutting the carpet's edges was not really difficult.

We are happy with the result. :-)

After adjusting projectors we can start with configuration of the visual. (Apologize screens in German language).

We know that there are probably much better tutorials out there but we decided to publish our way. Maybe it's helpful for some of you.

Important: As we learnd you should use separate screens. In our case screen 2, 3 and 1. Display 4 is our maintenance computer. Do not use nVidia surround in combination with P3D.

We will user Fly-Elise Immersive Calibration PRO to prepare warping and edge blending.

Dear Friends,

It was a pleasure to see you all at the exhibition. Existing customers, potential new customers and many of our partners. Thank you for meeting us in Paderborn.

Wiring of power supply has been done. Projectors, sim, computers and network environment can now be switched on and off via the central 19" computer rack. This is more a matter of convenience than a technical issue. Due to the narrowness of the room and the projection area we don't want to crawl just to switch on some power.

Projectors are wired.

Central power supply with relays

Due to the specific wall and ceiling situation we needed to find a custom solution for our projection area. Today we assemble our construction.

Preparation of elements.

Right aft section completed.

Computers are now rack-mounted and prepared. The room is finally ready for the cockpit floor.

Cockpit floor delivered.

We decided to use the standard VIER IM POTT cockpit floor for the shooroom without any modifications.

Did you know there is a similar service like www.flightradar24.com for ships?

We tried to track a delivery to Mexiko and found this:

https://www.vesselfinder.com/?imo=9399789

It's amazing to follow this ship know that there is your simulator on board.

During the last weeks we delivered several simulators to three continents of the world. As business seems to continue like this VIER IM POTT is searching for a larger production site.

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.

As you might know we have three options for A320 table and foot rests:

a) Fully functional table and foot rests

b) Table and foot rest dummy

c) Blind plate
