R+D CENTRE

Based 30 miles away from Bar-

celona city and Airport, Virtual-

Fly´s Research & Development

Centre is located in a long

traditional industrial area and

cornered by several landing

options as Barcelona-Sabadell

Airclub (LELL), Igualada Aero-

drom (LEIG), a private airstripe

(LEMS) and a light sport airfield

with 400m of concrete runway.

SHOW ROOM

There is a space inside the

Research & Development Cen-

tre dedicated to show our last

products where everybody is

invited and welcomed. This

show room is also used to de-

monstrate the management of

the minimums necessaries for

offering full motion flight simu-

lators experiences to the mass

public.

WHO WE ARE?

FLIGHT SCHOOL

AirCatFly is an aviation contract

work & LSA flight school functio-

ning together with Virtual-Fly

in the same Corporate group.

It operates Aeroprakt A22, Dy-

namic WT9, Tecnam P96 Golf

and WWI biplane replicas for

LSA licenses, advanced training,

bush flying and flight tours. This

collaboration allows Virtual-Fly

a direct platform for product test

and development.

LSA AIRFIELD

AirCatFly also manages and

operates a local LSA Airfield

with 400m concrete runway

and platform; mogas fuel station,

bar-restaurant, maintenance, 16

hangars, covered lunch area and

children’s area. Its located north-

west from Barcelona city limit,

30 minutes away by motorway

in the main crossroads between

Mediterranean coast, Monegros

desert and the Pyrenees. 41º

THE BEGINNINGS

We started in 2004 as a natio-

nal brand doing the research

and development of our own

systems for full motion flight

simulators. During this time,

we were able to learn, execu-

te and modify the technology

that we offer today as well as

gaining the first customers.

The result of the evolution of

the different prototypes from

SimVol-01 to SimVol-04 and la-

ter the OVO-04 can be easily

appreciated below.

In 2004, we designed and pro-

duced our first flight simulator

device, SimVol-01. It had the

full motion system underneath

a cubic-shape cabin.

In 2007 we made our first flight

simulator cabin with the full mo-

tion system aside & inside the

cabin itself, the SimVol-03.

In 2009, we finished the Sim-

Vol-04, with the re-designed

exterior fiberglass shape but

with the design on the flight pa-

nel and interior as in the pre-

vious model.

2011, after 7 years of Re-

search and Development, we

applied aeronautical interiors

and full motion software im-

provements. The new OVO-04

was born and we were ready

to delivery it worldwide.

OVO-04 SKY IS EARTH

The OVO-04 is a full motion flight simulator with a heavy duty

steel base and frame and a custom designed futuristic fiberglass

exterior. The simulator runs precision motion software that has

been developed and continually updated since 2004. This

software creates an interface between Microsoft Flight Simulator

X and the axis of motion.

The OVO-04 is a single seat cabin and has three 24” screens

with the central screen in front of the pilot. The adjustable seat

slides forwards and backwards and facilitates the use of the

rudder pedals which are also adjustable. Two optional cameras

enable the instructor to evaluate the pilot´s performance. One

is oriented towards the face and the other towards the hands.

With quality trimmings, from the carpet to the seat, everything is

intended to make the user think and feel like a pilot.

The two axis pivot around the center of the cabin and not

underneath like some other motion simulators. With sixty

degrees of pitch motion and sixty of roll, OVO-04 offers a

combination of both to simulate the yawn motion effect. With

this configuration there is always a counterweight for each

movement thus reducing overall wear and tear as well as

energy consumption. Pneumatic and hydraulic systems are not

used and no preventive maintenance is required.

Roll, pitch, slide, acceleration, deceleration and banking on

both the runway and in the air are simulated; a vibration system

simulates turbulence, runway irregularities, engine stars and

landing impact. The motion software is always being refined

and experienced pilots are consulted regularly in order to have

valuable feedback to make the experience more realistic. A

recent innovation to the motion technology is slight shacking

before a stall. All of the updates can be integrated by distance

with a simple download. There are also several motion settings

depending on the pilot´s level.

All of the moving parts are located inside of the fiberglass

exterior thus making the simulator safe to use in public spaces

or during events while at the same time facilitating transport

and reducing safety distances. This helps decrease the

dedicated space requirements for flight training centres and

other operators. While VirtualFly has always been serious about

fun, it has created an anti-acrobatic function to stop pilots form

developing bad habits such as dangerously high banking turns

and other maneuvers that would be unsafe for the types of

aircraft intended to be simulated. When activated the motion

stops for one minute.

OVO-04EQUIPMENT

DEFAULT EqUIpMENT – INTERIOR

Cabin

Closed cockpit with full movement to provide sensations of twisting, pitching, slipping, acceleration

and braking both at the runway and in the air. Vibration systems for the simulation of air turbulences,

runway irregularities, engine vibration and jolting from engine ignition.

Monitors and Windshield

Three 24" TFT Panoramic Monitors for landscape viewing. Visual powered by a driver that avoids

running the "Fisheye" effect and other amends to reach a 30 frames-per-second performance.

Controls and Indicators

Controls of aeronautical quality and solidity.

Sound system

Adjustable, high-quality speakers and sound regulator.

Seat

High quality first brand sport seat with bucket to avoid seat-belt installation.

PC Computer

PC installed inside the cabin itself with FSX or Prepar3d software installed and setup.

OpERATING MODES

On “Easy” mode: maximum fun for all ages.

On “Professional” mode it is suitable for pilots who want to improve their professional technique,

and IFR instrumental flight.

OVO-04HOW IS IT MADE?

MOTION IS EVERYTHING

Movement is what makes you feel like a spot inside a three-dimensional space. The Motion Software of

OVO-04 has been in constant developing since 2004. As a result you got a real feeling of roll, pitch,

slide, acceleration, deceleration, banking, turbulence, runway irregularities, engine start, landing impact….

pLUG-AND-FLY

All Virtual-Fly products pass a quality process at the factory and they are all flown for several hours before

being delivered to the final customer. The result is that our customer has no need of IT skills or any tasks

to start using the simulator and so they enjoy a fast, comfy and easy purchase and start-up process.

ENCLOSED CABIN

All of the moving parts are located inside of the fiberglass exterior thus making the simulator totally safe

to use in private locations, public spaces or during events while at the same time facilitating transport and

reducing safety distances. This helps decrease the dedicated space requirements for flight training cen-

tres and other operators. A simple difference, a brilliant engineering.

22 OVO-04

OVO-04 23

BUILT FOR LASTING.

1.000 KG LOAD STRESS TEST

Virtual-Fly products are based in a total opposition to the built-in obsolescence. In accordance with

the policy, the OVO weights one Ton and it is made with 850 kilograms of a solid steel structure,

fiberglass exterior and high quality finishes. As an example, every OVO unit has to pass a stress-

test consisting in supporting one Ton of weight on the pitch axis without flexing more than a few

millimetres. Once the test is successful the unit can continue in the construction process..

WHERE IS THE LIMIT?

That is a good question and Virtual-Fly works hard to get the answer. Virtual-Fly has an OVO-04 unit

on automatic flight twenty four hours a day, seven days a week in its factory in Spain. The unit has

so far more than 12,000 accumulated hours. The aim of this study is to demonstrate the operational

capability and lack of technical issues of the full motion flight simulator OVO-04 in extended use

situations such as those made by flight schools or virtual flight centres. This study also justifies Virtual-

Fly low operating cost of the simulator, the low technical training required for its daily operations and

its ability to meet Heavy Duty use.
