 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 

We pigged out on Well's pizza - and had a great time!

Meeting Venue

A proposal was made to rotate our monthly meeting among different restaurants in the region. If you’d like us to pursue that, email me at flightsimulatorgroupat@gmail.com

Friday Lunches

We held three Friday lunches in January, and as expected, they’ve evolved into after-lunch simulator sessions. That progression was inevitable. If you’d like to join us, email me at flightsimulatorgroupat@gmail.com.

Member Build Projects 

The two previously discussed simulator builds are, by and large, complete.

Update - Mike’s FS2020 Build

Mike is now an X-Plane simulateer. That brings us to five X-Planers in the group.

Flight‑Sim‑Saturday-Flyoff

Off the table for now. Still think it’s a good idea.

Off-Site Travel Events

Two group outings are being proposed:

• FSExpo-2026 – Minneapolis / St. Paul
• The "Boneyard" – Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Tucson, AZ

Both events still on the table.  Interested? Email flightsimulatorgroupat@gmail.com
