Starting on Friday 21st of June will see a series of product reveals, announcements, and updates from flight simulation’s biggest developers.

On Saturday the hall opens and you can take your time booth hopping as well as stages with seminars. The Microsoft Flight Simulator team will be hosting two panels, one each day with Saturday’s revolving around FS2024 so that will definitely be worth checking out.
