Flightbase Attikon: Boeing 737-800NG Flight Simulators near Winterthur — Three Sim Options

Flight Simulator Winterthur — Boeing 737-800NG at Flightbase, Attikon

Flightbase in Attikon near Winterthur offers something genuinely rare among public flight simulator venues — a choice of three distinct Boeing 737-800NG simulators at the same location, each at a different price point and fidelity level, allowing participants to select the experience that best matches their ambition and budget. From an accessible entry-level fixed-base simulator at CHF 159, through a 6-axis full motion device, to a professional-grade Venyo simulator built around a real Boeing 737 cockpit and fuselage certified to FMPT II MCC / EASA FTD Level 1+2 standard — no other simulator venue in Switzerland offers this breadth of hardware choice in a single location.

The simulators are located in Attikon, a short drive from Winterthur and approximately 30 minutes from Zurich city centre, with sessions available daily on request. All sessions include an experienced instructor in the right-hand seat throughout. Minimum age 14 years, minimum height 150 cm, up to two spectators welcome without prior booking.

Option 1 — B737-800NG Fixed-Base (from CHF 159)

The entry-level Boeing 737 experience uses the FSC simulator in fixed-base mode — the motion platform switched off for a calmer, more comfortable session. The cockpit is a perfectly replicated Boeing 737-800NG flight deck with all working switches, levers, and FMC computer, and an excellent 180° panoramic visual system. After a few minutes in the seat, you won’t notice the cabin isn’t moving. Session durations: 30 min CHF 159, 60 min CHF 229, 90 min CHF 319, 120 min CHF 399. Flight time can be split between two people for sessions of 60 minutes or longer.

Option 2 — B737-800NG FSC with 6-Axis Full Motion (from CHF 225)

The same FSC cockpit with the motion platform engaged — a 6-axis moveable platform that realistically simulates accelerations, turns, and vibrations. The 240°x40° OLED visual moves with the entire cabin, delivering an immersive sense of physical flight during takeoff, banking turns, turbulence, and landing. The motion system makes a particularly noticeable difference during takeoff roll and touchdown. Reviewers note it’s not comparable to a professional full-motion simulator on a 2–3 metre platform, but provides genuine additional sensation. Session durations: 30 min CHF 225, 60 min CHF 349, 90 min CHF 479, 120 min CHF 599.

Option 3 — Venyo B737 Real Aircraft Cockpit (from CHF 498)

The premium option at Flightbase Attikon is the Venyo simulator — built around the original cockpit and fuselage from a real Boeing 737 that logged thousands of commercial flight hours. The feel and detail of a real aircraft cockpit is simply unmatched by any replica-built device, and the RSI Collimated Visual system accurately displays distances without distortion, creating a genuine sense of depth and scale that most simulator visuals can’t achieve. Force feedback on the controls simulates hydraulic forces, and the simulator is certified to FMPT II MCC / EASA FTD Level 1+2 standard — used for training real pilots. Despite being fixed-base, the Venyo’s visual system creates a compelling sense of ‘virtual motion’. Session durations: 60 min CHF 498, 90 min CHF 699, 120 min CHF 899.

Choosing Your Simulator

For a first-time experience or gift: the fixed-base FSC at CHF 159 is excellent value and entirely accessible. For the physical sensation of flight: the 6-axis FSC with motion at CHF 225 adds real kinaesthetic feedback. For the most authentic cockpit feel and professional standard: the Venyo at CHF 498 is in a different league, with original aircraft hardware that no replica can replicate.

Team Events

The Flightbase simulator centre is well suited for corporate team events, company outings, and birthday parties. Sessions can be combined with an aperitif and catering at the Attikon facility, and the multi-simulator format allows groups to experience different simulator types or rotate participants efficiently. Custom group offers are available on request.
