FlightSimCon Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 http://flightsimcon.com/images/FlightSimCon2015Overview.png Flight simulation enthusiasts are likely familiar with the flight simulation conferences taking place regularly overseas, the biggest of which is probably FlightSim Conference, held in Germany this March. Flight simulation conferences in Europe have drawn thousands of attendees and provided a fascinating forum for simmers and vendors to interact. Inspired by this success, FlightSimCon aims to achieve the same in the United States. The FlightSimCon team believes that North America can also support a large flight simulation conference—but we need your support to make it happen! North American Flight Simulator fans: this is OUR chance as a flight simulation community to build a great conference in our own backyard. FlightSimCon 2015 is embarking on its third year. This year’s event is hosted at the New England Air Museum just off the grounds of Bradley International Airport near Hartford, Connecticut on June 13-14, 2015. At FlightSimCon: Interact with FSX and aviation exhibitors such as Jetline Systems as well as online communities like Boston Virtual ATC, IVAO, and VATSIMParticipate in a free draw to win door prizes donated by Wilco PublishingAttend ‘how-to’ seminars on setting up or improving your at-home setupHear from recreational and airline pilots about flight training, career planning, and pilot lifeFly a full-size Cessna 172 “sim-pit†and check out other home cockpit setups displayed by the FSX Demonstration TeamExplore the 5-hangar New England Air Museum FlightSimCon is proud to have an exciting list of exhibitors already confirmed for the 2015 conference. The conference expects to secure even more exhibitors and speakers in the next few months. FlightSimCon needs large amounts of flight simulation enthusiasts like you to attend this conference to make it a long-term success. With the support of the North American flight simulation community, we know FlightSimCon has the potential to bring thousands of people together this year. As the conference is still a few months away, at this point we’d like to ask for the community’s support in identifying additional companies and/or speakers who have an interest in participating with the conference. If you, or anyone you know, is willing to speak or exhibit at the event, please connect us! Of course, the best way individuals can support this event is by making plans to attend! Registration is just $60 for the entire weekend, which includes access to the New England Air Museum. For more information and to register, visit us at www.flightsimcon.com. We hope to make FlightSimCon 2015 North American’s flight simulation conference. We look forward to your support in making this a sustainable, annual event for years to come. -- 2015 Confirmed Exhibitors: http://flightsimcon.com/images/FlightSimCon2015Exhibitors.png Please note that this list of exhibitors is preliminary.

n4gix Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 Given that there will be no AVSIM conference this year, I'm giving serious consideration to attending this event.

porchpooch4 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I am looking forward to attending next week and I am looking for others who are currently in the process of building a flight simulator enclosure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byker1ky Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 Great Event! Very well attended for only being 3rd year. This is a growing event. Did some plane spotting from the hotel room as well. All around tops weekend! RW: Student - Sport Pilot - CTLS - KLWM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nhagag Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I enjoyed the event too. There were a lot of intersting seminars. I was surprized how KBDL is a busy airport I saw AAL, USAIR, SWA, JETBLUE Delta and other private jets taking off and landing minutes apart. I was surpized that Lockheed Prepared was not represented in talks or exhibits. Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Nels_Anderson Posted June 15, 2015 Founder Share Posted June 15, 2015 That turned out to be a fun and busy weekend indeed! I really enjoyed meeting a bunch of flightsimmers there. My report on the event has now been published on our home page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njfuzzy Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 I was really looking forward to the event. I had pretty high hopes, yet I should of read more carefully the descriptions of the seminars. The first day mostly seemed geared towards beginners and second day for advanced. Though, most were selling a product with a little education while presenting. I don't think I heard anything technical about tuning nvidia settings or fsx.cfg settings or specific FSX scenery config settings, which is what I was hoping to see a seminar on. I probably need to replace my yoke, so it was nice to have all of them in spot to try. The community seemed friendly to a certain extent, yet some seemed to have almost a high school mentality of an exclusive club. I guess a lot of us are geeks and don't have good social skills or perhaps shy in general and are not very open to others. Maybe it's a local (East Coast) phenomena that we are not that friendly? Yet people came from all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n4gix Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 I was surpized that Lockheed Prepared was not represented in talks or exhibits. Since L-M's Prepar3D is intended for professional flight schools, governmental entities, etc. why the surprise? I really wanted to go and had even made tentative plans, but alas my health just isn't up for being so far away from my health supports any longer... :( Bill Leaming http://smileys.sur-la-toile.com/repository/Combat/0054.gif Gauge Programming - 3d Modeling Military Visualizations Flightsim.com Panels & Gauges Forum Moderator Flightsim Rig: Intel Core i7-2600K - 8GB DDR3 1333 - EVGA GTX770 4GB - Win7 64bit Home Premium Development Rig1: Intel Core i7-3770k - 16GB DDR3 - Dual Radeon HD7770 SLI 1GB - Win7 64bit Professional Development Rig2: Intel Core i7-860 - 8GB DDR3 Corsair - GeForce GTS240 1GB - Win7 64bit Home Premium NOTE: Unless explicitly stated in the post, everything written by my hand is MY opinion.
