We are excited to welcome 49 races to compete to join us in the finale race on August 10th. COMMUNITY VIDEO EAA AirVenture 2022 is underway, and several members of the Microsoft Flight Simulator team will be there in-person! For anyone who wants to see a virtual representation of the Oshkosh experience, check out this video from YouTuber and real-world pilot Ian – PIREP who participated in PilotEdge’s recent SimVenture 2022 event. The goal of SimVenture is to use popular simming software such as Microsoft Flight Simulator to mimic the real Oshkosh Fisk Arrival experience as closely as possibly. The level of realism even extends to using actual IRL Oshkosh air traffic controllers to provide clearance and direction to the virtual sim pilots over voice comms! You can see Ian perform several landings at KOSH during SimVenture in the video below. Content warning: this video includes one utterance of course language that some viewers may find offensive. SCREENSHOT CHALLENGE You can submit your screenshot via Twitter with #MSFSchallenge or the Weekly Forum Post ! This week’s screenshot challenge: Go With the Snow!
