Build the Home Cockpit of Your Dreams

Trevor Olsen

Saturday
10:00am
Classroom
Hardware

Many flight simulator enthusiasts dream of a cockpit they can sit in, controlling every switch and lever in their flight simulator. Oftentimes starting can be the biggest hurdle to your dream homecockpit. While the world of homecockpit building is endless, learning a few key skills can allow you to build quite impressive flight simulator parts.

This seminar provides actionable ways to start your flight simulator homecockpit building journey. We will talk about building principles like planning, budgeting, wiring, design, constructing, 3D-Printing, and of course, how to learn all of this. Each topic teaches you how to explore areas of homecockpit building, and gives actionable first steps towards building the homecockpit of your dreams. The seminar will be flexible, and principles can be adapted to your needs to give you exactly the homecockpit you want (and can afford).

The Business of Flight Simulation

Moderated by FlightFX

Saturday
10:30am
Event Center
Educational

Over the years, simulation has spawned numerous sub-economies and side hustles. With the timing of the latest versions of both MSFS and X-Plane, we are now seeing a whole new set of fresh faces and businesses coming into the community.

Join us as we sit down with some of the key stakeholders and trendsetters driving the 3rd-Party development space and listen in as we discuss challenges, failures, trends, hot button issues, customers and how to survive in this rapidly expanding sector of our hobby.

This panel was proposed and moderated by Nick Sdoucos from FlightFX. Panelists include Blu Games (Content Creator), Lars Pinkenburg (Founder and CEO; Contrail), Nicki Repenning (CEO; Honeycomb Aeronautical), Steve Daniels (President; Hype Performance Group), and Laura Laban (CEO; Infinite Flight).

How Open Source Development Can Change the Flight Sim Community

FlyByWire

Saturday
12:00pm
Event Center
Educational

Developing high fidelity aircraft add-ons for Flight Simulators has traditionally happened in a closed way. In recent years, more and more add-ons have been released that are developed through a collaborative and open source process. This allows a broader audience to participate, share and learn from each other’s experiences, build a bigger community interest and get more people involved in the Flight Sim community.

In this session, we want to walk you through the benefits of an Open Source (and free) approach to developing and releasing aircraft, based on the experiences we have at FlyByWire Simulations.

You will also learn about how the process works, what tools are available, how the community can contribute and how you can benefit from different groups supporting and re-using each other’s work.

Finally, we’ll invite you to join one or more of the developer communities so you can learn more about contributing yourself. Experienced or not, we can help you get started!

Get to Da Choppa - and Improve your Helicopter Flying

Sérgio Costa

Saturday
12:00pm
Classroom
Educational

Over the last few years, simmers have been looking into helicopters with an increased interest, especially with the release of native helicopter support in Microsoft Flight Simulator. Flying these machines can be particularly tricky and frustrating but as with anything else you learn, having a structured way to practice and improve your skills can take you a long way.

Sérgio, editor and founder of HeliSimmer.com has 25 years of simming experience, 15 of them flying helicopters exclusively and he knows exactly what you are going through if you are learning.

In this seminar, Sérgio will be giving you some tips and tricks – learned from his own experience – as well as guide you through a few exercises to help you become a proficient virtual helicopter pilot.
It’s quite the challenge, but you can do it!

Expect Turbulence: My Real-Life Experience Learning to Fly

Keith Young

Sunday
12:00pm
Classroom
General

Expect Turbulence is the story of setting a goal and overcoming obstacles. A twice over recipient of kidney transplants, Keith Young always dreamt of becoming a pilot. In 2013 he set out to make that dream come true despite concern that his health situation could prevent it. Along the way he will face challenges from finances, his personal life, his career and his health as he attempts to achieve what only a small percentage of the human race have accomplished. As Keith grapples with getting to his personal best, he will be forced to deal with the realities of what it really takes to reach his goal while navigating some of the most difficult tests of his abilities. This is a story of what it takes to go for it when you have responsibilities to family, work, and budget and have to deal with age and health concerns. Keith candidly shares his triumphs and disappointments while placing you in the cockpit and inside his head as he struggles through what is required to become a private pilot.

Traversing the World of SimConnect

Les O'Reilly

Sunday
1:00pm
Classroom
Educational

This in-depth presentation will help simmers understand SimConnect with a focus on mapping flight simulation hardware device to corresponding controls in the simulator.

We'll look at the issues facing hardware and software developers to understand why things may need to be the way they are. Then, we'll use that understanding to seek out the correct events and methods to custom-configure hardware devices Having spent thousands of hours sorting through the weeds, I'll walk you through how to implement custom hardware solutions and mappings for some of my favorite flight simulator aircraft.

This seminar is designed for experienced flight simmers using Microsoft Flight Simulator (MSFS), but will be equally applicable to Prepar3D and FSX pilots.
