FlightSimExpo 2026 Announces 60+ Confirmed Partners Ahead of June Event

Flight Simulation Association has revealed that more than 60 partners are already confirmed for FlightSimExpo 2026, bringing a stacked lineup of hardware makers, software developers, aviation training organizations, virtual communities, sponsors, and media creators to Saint Paul, Minnesota this June.




The announcement was made April 25 during a video reveal with FSElite, giving the flight simulation community its first major look at who will be on the show floor when FlightSimExpo returns June 12-14, 2026, at the Saint Paul RiverCentre.




This year's partner list reads like a flight simmer's candy store with a runway attached. Major hardware names including Honeycomb Aeronautical, Thrustmaster, Virtual Fly, DOF Reality Motion Simulators, Pimax, SKALARKI electronics, WINCTRL, and more are confirmed to exhibit. On the software side, attendees can expect to see Aerosoft, FlyByWire Simulations, Navigraph, SayIntentions.AI, SoFly, MK Studios, Miltech Simulations, Combat Pilot, and many others.




"Alongside flight sim's biggest names, attendees will meet virtual airlines, online communities, combat sim, flight schools, VR developers, and more at FlightSimExpo 2026," said organizer Phil Coyle. He also noted that, for the first time, the event will welcome a train sim hardware developer to the show.




The 2026 event will also continue expanding its military and combat simulation presence. Returning exhibitors Combat Pilot and Grinnelli Designs will be joined by a large DCS presence at the WINCTRL booth. Attendees will also be able to take part in the new FSExpo 2026 Combat Arena, presented by Grinnelli Designs, offering contests and interactive aviation-inspired experiences throughout the weekend.




Thrustmaster is also preparing a major presence at this year's show. Tim Gorham, North American Marketing Director for Thrustmaster, said the company will feature its "biggest booth ever," with multiple new products and cockpit setups available for attendees to try, including dual-command stations for pilot and co-pilot flying.




FlightSimExpo 2026 will also bring back the //42 Exhibitors Lounge, presented by Platinum Sponsor Parallel 42. The lounge is designed as a dedicated space where exhibitors and sponsors can take a break, connect, and network away from the main show floor.




Beyond the exhibit hall, attendees can register for additional tours and group experiences outside of regular show hours. FlightSimExpo says tickets, hotel booking information, add-on tours, and social events are available now through the event's website.




FlightSimExpo has welcomed more than 5,000 attendees since launching in 2018, with past events held in Las Vegas, Orlando, San Diego, and Houston. The 2026 edition is shaping up to be another major gathering point for simmers, aviation enthusiasts, developers, pilots, and creators from across the virtual skies.
