VR-JET Flight Simulator

F/A-18C flight cockpit with VR in Melle, Germany

Who has not dreamed of taking the controls of a military fighter jet after watching the 1986 movie Top Gun with Tom Cruise? In the German town of Melle, VR-JET Simulations perfectly shows how, using 4 actuators of the Qubic System technology, cockpit and VR, dreams of moving into the skies can come true.

The replica of F/A 18C Hornet is located on the top floor of a country house in Melle and provides an indescribable feeling for every visitor, both professional pilots and amateurs with less experience.

Thanks to VR-Jet's build and VR HeadWay support, the motion reads convincingly to the pilot, with VR HeadWay keeping the scene stable as the base moves. All the important switches, such as landing gear, flaps, can be operated by the user in the cockpit. With full VR, the buttons are exactly where the pilot sees them in the VR, making the whole experience more authentic.

Qubic System QS-220 3DOF Motion Set turned out to be a perfect fit for the VR-Jet Simulations. Detailed platform feedback lets the pilot feel exactly what the aircraft is doing in real time. The 3DOF configuration suits pilots who want precise, high-detail motion cues that track the aircraft closely.

At VR-Jet, various games can be used for a professional flight feeling, such as DCS, Aerofly FS2, Microsoft FS2020 and X-Plane 11. For high quality entertainment, Elite Dangerous, Project Wingman, Epic Roller Coasters or Rogue Squadron are definitely worth trying!

The amazing world of flight simulation combined with the VR awaits in Melle, Germany.
