June 30, 200916 yr Commercial Member I know the aviation bug has finally hit me hard as this is the first time I have seriously thought of going to Air Venture. Well,.... I know I really can't this year but perhaps I should start planning for 2010. After drooling, looking about their website (can't believe they are going to land an Airbus A380 there), I was surprised, dare I say disappointed, that I could not find anything about flight simulation there. I thought for sure I would read about some venues set up to demonstrate our addiction, er... hobby I mean. ;)Why doesn't "FANCON" or simular flightsim conventions team up to have it there? Have the best of both worlds.Clutch Intel i9-12900KF, Asus Prime Z690-A MB, 64GB DDR5 6000 RAM, (3) SK hynix M.2 SSD (2TB ea.), 16TB Seagate HDD, Gigabyte GeForce 5080 RTX, Corsair iCUE H70i AIO Liquid Cooler, UHD/Blu-ray Player/Burner (still have lots of CDs, DVDs!)

July 1, 200916 yr Well, MS/ACES has had a fairly big space at the show for a number of years, but there's no one left to run it this year :-< Tim Tim http://fsandm.wordpress.com
July 1, 200916 yr There are usually exhibits for Flight Simulations. Two years ago the X-plane guys had a neat exhibit, along with a small Aerosoft desk that had some good box titles on sell. Not to mention the Pilot Mall, which was selling Flight Sim hardware. CH had a very good exhibit the past three years. If you look around, you'll find some flight sim stuff.EDIT: By the way, I got some great deals on my hardware (plus free shipping because I shoved it in my luggage for the plane ride home). Usually the shipping to your home is free from the vendors there. It's like Christmas for me there! ___________________________________________________________________________________ Zachary Waddell -- Caravan Driver -- Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/zwaddell Avsim ToS Avsim Screenshot Rules
