After a few years of expanding our space sim and combat sim ranges, this year’s presence is all about civilian flight sim. We'll be featuring multiple cockpits, including dual-command stations that allow pilots and co-pilots to fly together!”

In addition to civilian flight sim, this year’s event has a continued expansion into military and combat simulation. Alongside returning exhibitors Combat Pilot and Grinnelli Designs, attendees can expect to see a large DCS presence at the WINCTRL booth. Attendees will also have the chance to participate in the FSExpo 2026 Combat Arena, presented by Grinnelli Designs. This new high-energy, interactive experience allows attendees to compete, learn, and connect through aviation-inspired contests and events that capture the excitement of flight and the spirit of discovery.

FlightSimExpo 2026 will feature the return of the //42 Exhibitors Lounge, presented by Platinum Sponsor Parallel 42.

“In addition to being a Platinum Sponsor, we are also working with FlightSimExpo to support the exhibitors and sponsors attending the show,” said Edson Soriano, Managing Director of //42. “We welcome show partners to join us in the //42 Exhibitors Lounge, where they can catch a break, enjoy a coffee, and grab a snack. It’s our way of saying thanks to devs large and small across the flight sim community, while also providing a more private space to connect, network & collab.”

Alongside the exhibit booths, seminars, and workshops happening in the exhibit hall, attendees can also register for fun, group activities designed to enhance the weekend. The full list of the Tours & Experiences happening outside of show hours is available at flightsimexpo.com/tours.
