2026 #FSExpoFriday Schedule

Friday, June 12 is #FSExpoFriday! At 12pm CDT, the day kicks off with a series of product announcements, offering attendees the unique opportunity to be present when the biggest news of the year comes out.

“Being in the room when that new product drops or something goes live for sale is a completely surreal feeling as a flight simmer,” said Sean Doyle, a FlightSimExpo Volunteer who in 2026 will take the stage to represent JetCard, a new business aviation ecosystem built for MSFS and X-Plane. “Hearing the ooh’s, the clapping, and seeing the reactions in real time is something you just don’t get anywhere else. It’s so fascinating to hear from the people who make the add-ons we love.”

The list of presenters includes top names in flight simulation like Thrustmaster, Sayintentions.AI, Combat Pilot, Navigraph, Virtual Fly, X-Plane, SoFly, Meridian GMT, Microsoft Flight Simulator, and more. Including video reveals, more than 30 exciting announcements are expected. Following the announcements, the Exhibit Hall opens for an evening preview from 4:30-7:00pm.
