 FSG@ Network

Connecting flight simulation enthusiasts across Southeast Wisconsin and Northeast Illinois

About Us

The FSG@ Network is a volunteer-driven family of local flight simulation groups. It only takes three simmers to start your own group—and it’s free! Our mission: build home simulators, enhance flight safety and training, and foster camaraderie. Interested? Email us at: flightsimulatorgroupat@gmail.com.

Meeting Highlights

• Continuing Member Build Project: Chose MSFS 2020 as the simulation platform. Finalized chassis, screens, hardware, and PC choices. Group build scheduled at the member’s home.
• Civil Air Patrol (CAP) Project: No new updates. Meeting with CAP in September—volunteers needed.
• Four+One Day © Training: Continuing as planned. Volunteers and funding welcome.

 STEM Initiatives

• Onarga Academy (OA): Site, simulator design, and training schedule being finalized. OMSAA pledged $5,000. Target completion date: Sept. 30, 2025. 

• Shoreland Lutheran High School (SLHS): Meeting with STEM Director Timothy Mielke planned for mid-September in Kenosha.

Note: Donations, and volunteers with STEM, CFI or teaching experience welcome. Contact Ken at: flightsimulatorgroupat@gmail.com.
