About
The first FlightSimCon was held in March 2013 in downtown Hartford, Connecticut. For FlightSimCon 2014, the event was moved just north of Hartford to the New England Air Museum in Windsor Locks, Connecticut, where the event was again held in June 2015. Currently, FlightSimCon is the only flight simulation focused conference in North America.
The event has a strong focus on flight simulation, specifically Microsoft Flight Simulator X, X-Plane, and Prepar3D. Multiplayer organizations such as Boston Virtual ARTCC, VATSIM, and IVAO have a strong presence at the event.
