Flight Sim Expo 2023

[Cr33p3r]

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.

That's pretty cool. I didn't there was such a thing as a flight sim expo.

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

[Cr33p3r]

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

Yes, that's exactly what I was driving at. Of course there will be a couple of women at those events but it will be a tiny minority.

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.

[Cr33p3r]

I'll try to find the manufacturer
