RealSim Liberec: Authentic McDonnell Douglas DC-9 & MiG-21 Jet Fighter Simulators

Flight Simulator Czech Republic — Original McDonnell Douglas DC-9 and MiG-21 at RealSim Liberec

RealSim offers a world-unique simulation experience located in Liberec, just over an hour’s drive north of Prague. Rather than utilizing plastic replicas, RealSim’s centerpiece is a completely authentic, fully functional cockpit converted from a real McDonnell Douglas DC-9 airliner manufactured in 1969. The actual hull flew commercial routes in the United States until 2010, logging over 90,000 hours in the air before being masterfully retrofitted by Czech engineers into a state-of-the-art public simulator.

Every single switch, gauge, and circuit breaker behaves exactly as it did during real airline service. The cockpit is surrounded by Europe’s largest cylindrical projection system — a 6-meter wide visual arena powered by 5 high-definition projectors delivering a flawless 270-degree field of view. The immersion is complete with linked VATSIM/IVAO network capabilities for real-time air traffic control integration.

McDonnell Douglas DC-9 Airliner Experience

Take your seat in the captain’s chair of a legendary twin-engine classic. Because it relies on original heavy metal flight hardware, pilots feel the distinct physical resistance and mechanics of an analog airliner. Experience raw flying without the automated crutches of modern fly-by-wire setups. Program a route to any airport across the globe, experience visual flight rules (VFR) over Czech cities, or test your metal with severe weather and emergency engine-fire drills.

MiG-21 Jet Fighter Experience

For those looking for pure speed, RealSim also operates an original MiG-21 supersonic jet fighter cockpit. Enclosed within a specialized dome projection, this experience focuses on tactical air combat, interception missions, and high-speed low-altitude handling of a classic Cold War interceptor.
