Who Is Going To FlightSimCon?

Bit too far for me in the UK I'm afraid 😥

So who is going?

It certainly sounds interesting, Nels.

Major companies like Dovetail Games, Laminar Research and Lockheed Martin will be there, just to name a few.

What about our old friends NGIS -aka Nexgen Flightsim? Will they be there?

Also, have you heard from NGIS lately? Are they still alive..so to speak?

Any news on when the Nexgen prototype will be rolled out?

Thanks in advance

They've even talked me into hosting a panel!

 

So who is going?

Grab me a flight over there and I'll join ya! :D

How can this possibly be the first you've heard of this? We've been running banner ads for months, we've run several news announcements, and for past years we've run full feature articles reporting on the event. If you don't see anything of these things, were on the web site should I put them so you do see them?

I've known all about it in previous years, Nels, but this year I've rarely gone to the News portion of this site, and these days I just briefly scan the forums, once in a while seeing something of interest. Perhaps it's my reduced interest in simming, or... ???

Considering it's being done in the northeast, I really wish this would be done in New York City, I think it would be more accessible to people in many ways, including those who fly in. Any particular reason why it's done in CT?

But you do know how expensive hotels are in New York City, particularly in June, right?

Me I just wait for the YouTube videos to come out. There are about a half-dozen from 2016 (look for ones saying uploaded '11 months ago'). Most are interviews with developers (15 to 30 minutes). But you do get some 'virtual' touring and can get an idea of how big an area the 'convention floor' covers.

I had heard something about it, I think in a thread. But somehow I haven't seen a single ad for flight sim con.

I cm mostly on phone lately, and on that I hardly see any images. Only the ones posted in posts and only ads at top of page, the ones for payware addons.

But no attachments or 'right column' images.

On the pc I use two adblockers. Haven't seen flightsimcon ads there either. I'm not using the pc much lately, but enough that I think I would have spotted them if they were on the page. I expect it's the adblocker stopping them.

So who is going?

Nels, I made plans months ago, but not quickly enough to score a room at the airport's hotel. I'll be staying "off campus" a few miles away, but an easy commute!

I'll be leaving Thursday morning and staying about half-way there in Clarion, PA (and again on Monday night on the return trip).

I'm looking forward to meeting some of the folks I've only known "on screen" for the past many decades.

Any hams attending can give me a call on 146.52 MHz. I'll be monitoring!

NGIS is a bit off topic here. Their sim is not far enough along in development to present anything yet. I have heard from them in recent months and as far as I know they are continuing their development.

Thanks for that update Nels.

If you are ever in touch with Stephen B and team, perhaps let them know that their website has been down for 2 weeks..with no notification about what's going on. Previously loyal supporters, well-wishers and potential customers of the Nexgen flight sim could well get hacked off at this rate ..even before the prototype Nexgen sim is even launched.

The 5th edition of FlightSimCon (not to be confused with FlightSim.Com!) is only days away, so I'm surprised there's no talk about it here.

I've attended all but there very small first year and it's a great event. Last year well over 500 flightsimmers attended and it's had steady growth each year and this year has had to move to a larger venue.

I'll be flying into KBOS and then driving down to Windsor Locks on Friday. See ya there!

I'll be there both days. I've been to all except the first one, awesome event! Great to meet up with friends and make new ones. The program has been exciting every year, & getting better all the time. Nels, I look forward to seeing you and saying "hello" again!

So far it's always been head at KBDL in Connecticut. They are considering holding it at a different location next time. I know that would make some people happy but would likely mean I could not go.

Nels, it was a genuine pleasure to finally meet you in person. I thoroughly enjoyed myself there, but am still recovering from the l o n g drive there and back from the Chicago area!
