 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 

Route 20 Restaurant was a good choice although it proved to be too far for some of the members.  We'll continue the hunt for a single venue.  This month it's at The Foxhole Lounge in Racine - 6:30 to 8:30. If you’d like to join us, email me at flightsimulatorgroupat@gmail.com.

Friday Lunches

Friday lunches are working well.  April had one-a-week with a couple new members in attendance.  We're going to keep doing them.  If you’d like to join us, email me at flightsimulatorgroupat@gmail.com and get on the notification list.

Member Build Projects 

One new build is under way with a second in the planning state.  If you're building or considering building a flight simulator, come to the meeting or lunch and we'll talk you through it.  

Off-Site Travel Events

Three group outings are being proposed:

• FSExpo-2026 – Minneapolis / St. Paul.  June 12-14.
• The Airforce Museum – Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton Ohio.  Late Fall.
• The "Boneyard" – Davis-Monthan Air Force Base, Tucson, AZ  

Interested? Email flightsimulatorgroupat@gmail.com
