Flight simulation is often a solo pursuit - pilots retreat to their setups, immersed in virtual skies. Yet, after 9,000 hours of solo-simming, I craved connection, more knowledge, and a broader community. That’s why I founded FSG@, a network transforming this solitary hobby into a collaborative adventure. Our newest node, FSG@SEWI-NEIL (Southeast Wisconsin - Northeast Illinois), now thrives at the Flight-Sim-Loft in Centurion Aviation’s hangar at Batten Airport, Racine, WI.
Building Simulators
At the Flight-Sim-Loft, members gather around worktables to craft cost-effective simulators. One new member’s first build is underway, and we’re chronicling it on our blog to guide others. This hands-on process fosters creativity and camaraderie, turning ideas into reality.
Facilitating Communication
FSG@ operates as a network of nodes, with coordinators sharing emails to connect members globally. Our upcoming website and blog will amplify this, ensuring simmers can exchange tips, troubleshoot, and feel part of something bigger - far beyond YouTube’s one-way tutorials.
Safety & Training
We’re designing training modules to mirror real-world aviation standards, enhancing skills and safety. Details are coming soon but expect practical tools for aspiring pilots.
Sharing Knowledge
From build logs to blog posts, including your contributions, we’re committed to open knowledge exchange, expanding every member’s “sphere.”
FSG@ exists to unite simmers, replacing isolation with connection.
