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 using the email form to the right of this screen.

Meeting Highlights 

• Member Build Projects: Discussed two on-going projects - one X-Plane the other FS2020.  
• Discussed upcoming Saturday Extreme Flight Simulation (EFS) event in Gurnee, Illinois. 
• Discussed meeting that was held at Shoreland Lutheran High School (SLHS), specifically their STEM training on Xbox / FS2024 simulators - see below.

  STEM Initiatives

• Nexis-Onarga Academy (NOA): Had Doner meeting in Onarga with NOA and Onarga Military School Alumni Association (OMSAA) over Columbus Day weekend.  Toured additional installation site possibilities and agreed to move ahead.  Currently reviewing hardware configurations to match possible venue changes.  Target date set for simulator completion.

• Shoreland Lutheran High School (SLHS): Meeting with STEM Director Timothy Mielke and staff went as scheduled.  Discussed how SLHS combines flight simulation into their STEM program.  Also gave two staff members their first flight Microsoft FS2024 simulation experience. Discussed FSG@'s role.  More on that in future posts.

Simulateers, don't forget to fly the Ford Tri-Motor and First Flight simulations!
