For another year, the Gaming Zone offers something for everybody. Here you will find returning favourites, like the Retro Area but also newcomers that will make 2023 another edition filled with novelty. The Cosplay Area dives deep into the world of Anime and Manga, and in the Free2play Area you can play your favorite games as long as you want.

 

The best thing: that is only a small preview from our program. We wish you a lot of fun exploring the ever-changing world of LEVEL UP.

Aircrasher DCS Exhibition Cup

LEVELUP-2022_412A0701_FW

This year, one of four drone races of the DCS Exhibition Cup is happening at LEVEL UP. We are looking for the best pilots, who will be celebrated. Beginners and interested people are also welcome to dive into the world of Drone Racing.

Drone Championships, Drone Racing and FPV Racing? What's that?

The Quadcopter Racing, aka Drone Racing, is also called FPV Racing. "FPV" stands for „First Person View“. The drones are equipped with cameras, which send their images directly to VR sets of the pilots. During the race, the pilots don't watch the drones from the outside but navigate the little racers as if they were sitting inside the drone. The drones have to be navigated through a parcours and are usually more agile and manouverable than non-racing drones.
