This Is Flight Simulation in 2026

How far has flight simulation come, and is it just a game?

To explore just how far things have come, I spent two days at FSimUK 2026, held at Aerospace Bristol, meeting the people, creators, and companies helping shape the future of flight simulation. I felt there was something for everyone.

Along the way, I caught up with fellow flight simulation content creators, industry experts, and real-world pilots to explore what makes this hobby so special.

And with so many flight simmers going on to pursue careers in aviation, it raises an interesting question...

Is flight simulation really just a game?
