VELIS X-ALPHA VR
Meet the world’s first ultralight flight simulator that uses VR technology.
What is the difference between the X-Alpha and the Velis X-Alpha VR simulators?
There is no difference. Velis X-Alpha VR is the new name for the original X-Alpha simulator, which now makes part of the Velis Training System, complementing the Velis Electro, the Velis Club and the Pipistrel Online training platform.
Which software does the Velis X-Alpha VR use for flight simulations?
Velis X-Alpha VR flies in X-Plane 11 for Professional Use. There are two great advantages to X-Plane. First, it has an excellent physics engine, and second, it is highly customizable. This allows the model of Alpha Trainer and Alpha Electro to match the behaviour of the real aircraft in great detail.
Controls are not working. How do I fix it?
Usually this is a software issue and the controls just need to be re-calibrated. Please follow the instructions in the chapter 6 on configuring controls in the X-Alpha manual under the documentation section. If this does not solve the problem, try the steps described in chapter 8 (Troubleshooting X-Alpha, under Controls are not working properly or at all).
I am experiencing technical difficulties with the simulator. What can I do?
First, check the Velis X-Alpha VR user manual, especially the chapter on troubleshooting. It contains the list of the most common things that could go wrong and its solutions.
You can find Velis X-Alpha VR manuals in the documentation section.
If the problem you are having is not solved in the manual or you have tried and failed to fix it, please contact us via the support form that can be found here.
Where can I get the Velis X-Alpha VR manual?
The Velis X-Alpha VR manual can be found under the documentation section. Make sure to download the correct version for your simulator’s software and hardware.
How do I clean the VR headset?
You can also use additional hygiene solutions that will help keep your VR headset clean and easier to maintain. They are especially recommended if the simulator is frequently used by different people. You can find some options on this link: https://vrcover.com/.
What are the plans for Velis X-Alpha VR in the future?
Velis X-Alpha VR flight simulator is a finished product, but we are always searching for ways to improve it.
We are keeping an eye on the global innovations in the fields of flight simulators and virtual reality technologies, implementing the most promising ones to X-Alpha to make it run faster, with more accurate physics model and with better resolution.
Our pilots are regularly flying the sim, comparing it to the real Alpha Trainers and Alpha Electro airplanes. Based on their feedback, we are able to tweak our model to match their behaviour as close as possible in a wide range of situations. Our instructors are working on the sim designing didactic situations that can be used for flight training and testing them with their students.
All in all, we are dedicated to making Velis X-Alpha VR the best it can be.
If you have any suggestions on how to improve Velis X-Alpha VR or if you want to share a thought with us, contact us via the support form, we are always opened to new ideas.
