Fly With MicroProse and Next Level Racing – The Perfect Flight Sim Partnership
Flight sim fans can take control of Combat Air Patrol 2 (CAP2) from the Next Level Racing Flight Seat Pro Boeing Military Edition, transforming the Gamescom demo into a physical cockpit-style experience.
Developed in collaboration with Boeing, the dedicated flight seat will complement CAP2’s AV-8B Harrier II simulation, mission planning and naval combat, giving visitors and creators a distinctive hands-on experience, and a great Gamescom photo opportunity.
“MicroProse built its reputation by making simulations memorable,” says Microprose’s Event Coordinator, Frazer Nash, “which is why we’re inviting journalists, content creators, and gamers of all ages to experience CAP2 from Next Level Racing’s premium flight seat. It’s an experience they won’t forget anytime soon.”
