FlightSimCon 2016 will be the fourth annual FlightSimCon event, and will be held June 11–12, 2016,[needs update] at the New England Air Museum.[2]
About
The first FlightSimCon was held in March 2013 in downtown Hartford, Connecticut.[3] For FlightSimCon 2014, the event was moved just north of Hartford to the New England Air Museum in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, where the event was again held in June 2015.[4] As of 2016, FlightSimCon is the only flight simulation-focused conference in North America.
The event has a strong focus on flight simulation, specifically Microsoft Flight Simulator X, X-Plane,[5] and Prepar3D.[6] Multiplayer organizations such as Boston Virtual ARTCC, VATSIM, and IVAO have a strong presence at the event.[7]
Notable speakers have included PMDG's Robert Randazzo and X-Plane's Austin Meyer.
