At our children's school prom, we were sitting at a table with another family. During the conversation, it turned out that our son's classmate had been thinking about becoming a pilot for a while. That was a good reason to invite her to join us in th...

We take our new plane on a virtual visit to the VIER IN POTT production facility in Dresden. The weather in Germany is fantastic - downright boring. 30 degrees and not a cloud in the sky. And so it's a relaxed but uneventful flight. The only challeng...

It should be a completely normal day. The weather forecast predicted only light winds and no turbulence. Ideal conditions for the return flight from Sylt Westerland to Dresden. Everything is routine. The biggest excitement is the bumpy taxiway A and ...

The new VISUAL-PC is up and running. Time for a new journey. We are in Hamburg-Finkenwerder (EDHI) and take over a brand new A320. Exciting. It's a bit like picking up a new car from the dealer. The smell of something new is only virtual, but we stil...

What could be better than flying for fun at the weekend? Quite simply! Flying together! In professional flight operations, there are always at least two pilots in the cockpit: the "Pilot Flying" and the "Pilot Monitoring". One takes over the actual c...

Gibraltar Airport is one of the most extraordinary airports in Europe, mainly due to its unique location and challenging conditions for pilots. The runway runs across one of Gibraltar's main roads and is surrounded on both sides by water and high cli...

We had the unique opportunity to take part in an approach to Nice RWY 22R on the jumpseat. Now we try to fly this approach in the simulator. Can we do it as well as a real pilot? Well - of course not :-) But it's an interesting attempt to f...

The year will soon be over. Take a look at what we found while tidying up.  The picture is from the first days of VIER IM POTT. We were young and enthusiastic back then. (Today we are older and enthusiastic.) In all these years it has never...

Join us on our short flight into the night! We take off from Dubrovnik at dusk and fly south towards Corfu. After take-off, we enjoy the evening twilight. We relax for a while and forget the stress of everyday life. Then we need all our concentration...

In flight simulation, the environment is usually transmitted via a screen or TV monitors. This creates a physical effect. What is straight for one pilot is crooked for another. The pilot steers the aircraft in a dead straight line on the taxiway and ...

How can we fly smoothly with three projectors in MSFS2020? Without the latest graphics card and without becoming an expert in performance optimisation? Is that even possible? In the video, we test three tools that are easy to use and can be utilised ...

During computer maintenance and when we want to try something out, we usually have our projectors switched off to save power and wear and tear. However, since switching our visual system to the new projectors, we have had an annoying problem. If the ...

Today's flight takes us from Dresden to Vienna. We want to visit our customer and friend Wolfgang, who has realised an impressive project at his home. When we landed in Vienna, we noticed something unusual that we will have to think about over t...

During the last days we have replaced the eight year old visual of our A320 flight simulator with a new 4K projection system. This is our first test flight. Ladies and Gentlemen, please fasten your seat belts! We take-off for a first f...

Warping is the most demanding part of the conversion in terms of software. We use Immersive Designer Pro for planning with our customers because it is easy to calculate various scenarios in advance. This software is usually too expensive and too diff...

New day. Firstly, we prepare the installation of the projectors. To do this, we first fit the projector holders to the projectors. Then the first projector is mounted. One thing we can say in advance. The overhead work left us with sore muscles the n...

The preparations have been finalised. We have bought three new projectors. Optoma with 4K resolution. You have to realise that we have a very special installation situation in Bottrop. Like many others, we have space problems in the showroom. That's ...

We fly (virtually, of course) from Finkenwerder to Dresden to prepare the next project. But first we enjoy the beautiful winter weather. Clear air, good visibility and a route that more or less always runs straight ahead. In the meantime, my wife Sil...

Installation Installing the Microsoft Flight Simulator MSFS2020 is relatively simple. We decided to stream the scenery via the internet, which is no problem if you have a reasonably good internet bandwidth. There are a few points to bear in mind...

We are a little excited. Today we're off on our first flight around the world. Our destination today is Finkenwerder. Hamburg-Finkenwerder airfield (IATA code: XFW, ICAO code: EDHI) is a special airfield in the south-west of Hamburg and part of the A...
