I'm planning to attend this weekend. i'll take lots of pics. www.flightsimexpo.com. I hope to see all that the hardware and software manufacturer's have to offer (and are announcing) and geek out. Last time I was there was 2019 in Orlando and had a blast. They have some cool stuff on display and even full motion simulators you can try.

Where is it being held at this year? I may go next year if it is held in FL.

Its in Houston. Last year was San Diego and Las Vegas the year before that. Hopefully they'll announce a location at this year's conference.

Oh I forgot to share also, I invested in a kickstarter for a new airbus a/p panel. I got in before the cost went out of my range. It should come out in November and will mount right on top of my yoke.

I'm fairly certain it's not the greatest place to pick up a date.....

You'd be surprised Panzer. Many devs have female staff and there were some female flight simmers too. But it was probably 90% 40 through 50 something guys. I'll post pics once I get some time today.

Pics of the conference, not the potential dating candidates haha
That guy at the DCS sim is an aggressor flying the F-5 out of NAS Key West for VC-111 Sundowners. Pretty cool!
That cockpit looks great, too bad it has A-10 throttle panels but still pretty cool. I also like how they had stereo speakers and there is even a subwoofer present!

I'm curious about the HUD. I can't seem to find the manufacturer. I'm planning on building my own (it's not rocket science) for my simpit.
