Fly and Race for group events and corporate events

Continued: A visit to Fly and Race Simulations

How do 10 to 80 people fit into such a small room? No problem with VR! Joking aside: Fly and Race has conference rooms in which they organise presentations or workshops with catering. An all-round catering package, so to speak.

You are well looked after by the crew

The entire Fly and Race crew consists of former or still active pilots who know everything about flying. This makes the whole experience extremely exciting, because you can ask all the questions you've always wanted to have answered about flying. Flavio Strässle, a prime example of a good host, also said that personal contact was very important to them. The individual experience takes centre stage, they don't want mass processing. That's why they always clarify exactly what the goal is and tailor the programme accordingly. The concept of the company, which has been in existence for around 3 years, is working. They are receiving more and more bookings from private individuals as well as companies and groups.

Strengthen teamwork using the simulators

With a smile, Flavio Strässle, our host, tells us how they sometimes offer team building or decision-making seminars in the simulator and how people work together with varying degrees of success. For some, nothing would work at all, but at least they would have fun. The different characters crystallise very quickly. Even if not everything works perfectly for everyone straight away, it's always great fun for everyone.

In addition to improving teamwork, the entertainment factor is an important goal of the seminars. The next plan is to be able to use the F/A-18's weapon systems in VR as well. Such interaction possibilities are naturally very exciting.

Pushing the entertainment factor with VR

Scenarios where you can also fly with or against someone else in VR would also be very cool in my opinion. In VR, you could basically also have a flying competition with another flight simulator, which doesn't necessarily have to be in the same room.

I could also imagine that it would be very entertaining if, for example, I could send my work colleagues an unexpected thunderstorm, more planes or other obstacles into the virtual world. You could also follow how the VR user deals with the obstacles from one of the conference rooms via a screen.

Speaking of the screen: In the next part the day after tomorrow, you will find out why the screen could also be useful for training purposes.
