We design and manufacture both the controller-management computer and its accompanying software, which we have patented. This setup enables pilots to easily adjust the force-feedback characteristics of ailerons, elevator, and rudder to match those of their real aircraft. Our software allows for the precise setting of force, capable of varying it depending on the aircraft’s speed. All custom settings can be stored in the internal memory

For some aircraft, like the Extra 200, Extra 300L, and Extra 330 LC, the stick forces on ailerons are linear, increasing steadily with stick deflection. In contrast, modern aircraft like the Extra LX, Extra SC, Extra NG, Sbach, GenPro, and GB1 models feature non-linear force characteristics for more efficient hesitation stops: the force increases sharply at the beginning of deflection and then decreases after a certain point. Additionally, the forces on controllers vary with speed, increasing at higher speeds and decreasing at lower speeds. Our software supports the configuration of individual force characteristics for each user, which can be memorized and stored. This flexibility means the simulator can replicate the controller-force characteristics of any aerobatic aircraft at the push of a button.

The simulator utilizes AEROFLY FS 4 FLIGHT SIMULATOR software from IPACS for flight simulation. We have developed our virtual aircraft models from scratch for this software. Currently, we offer virtual aircraft that simulate the aerobatic aircraft EXTRA 330LC, EXTRA 330LX, Extra 330SC and EXTRA NG. During the refinement of these virtual aircraft, we engaged an Unlimited-class aerobatic pilot, Romain Fhal, who assisted us in ensuring that the behavior of the virtual aircraft in flight closely resembled the originals. Our virtual aircraft allow for displaying speed and altitude in both kilometers per hour and meters, as well as knots and feet.

The simulator is also compatible with other flight simulation programs such as Microsoft Flight Simulator.

The virtual aircraft developed by us have been equipped with a software that allows the uploading of aerobatic sequences from jpeg and pdf files and displaying them in the aircraft cockpits, just as it happens in real aircraft. The software allows for resizing the displayed sequence.

Thanks to this feature, the simulator enables competitive flight training, during which the pilot practices reading maneuvers from a page while performing aerobatics. This skill allows for real-time verification of the memorized sequence, reducing the likelihood of errors.

The preparation of the field before championships is crucial. With our system, you no longer need to worry about organizing training slots or conducting numerous training flights at the competition location.

Simply select your desired airfield, complete with the aerobatic box, and fly there at any time of day. You can choose different sun positions, wind directions, and wind speeds, all according to your preferences. Be prepared to be the best.

We will continue our work on developing scenery for additional airfields containing aerobatic box markers.

As aerobatic pilots, we understand the critical importance of having a comprehensive 360° field of vision and the ability to train where to look during aerobatic maneuvers. Our VR headsets are high-end models, widely used in military simulators and the business sector, and have been upgraded by PIMAX to meet our specific requirements. The process is straightforward: simply put on the headset, and you will see exactly what you would in a real aircraft. The specifications of our VR headsets include:  ultra-sharp resolution, glass aspheric premium lenses with a large sweet spot, tracking with internal cameras, high-fidelity audio DMAS earphones.

The computer, along with servo drives and other electronic components, is located inside the simulator platform, and thanks to the implemented sliding mechanism, it is easily accessible. The space containing the electronics is cooled by air filtered from dust.

The touchscreen monitor and keyboard are used to operate the main computer, adjust flight parameters, and forces on the flight controllers. They are mounted on a separate stand that can be positioned directly next to the simulator or serve as a separate workstation. The monitor can be used for flight viewing by accompanying individuals.
