In a joint effort between CruiseLevel, Threshold and FSElite, in collaboration with FSWeekend, we are delighted to have hosted our first-ever Flight Sim Awards. The effort by everyone involved meant that the first year had been a great success and many developers and individuals were given the recognition they deserve for creating outstanding products in the flight simulation space.
During the Captain’s Dinner (hosted by Aerosoft), members of the Flight Sim Awards panel took to the stage to reveal the nominees and the winners of each of the categories. As a reminder, here are the categories:
- Airliner MSFS
- Aircraft MSFS
- Airliner X-Plane
- Aircraft X-Plane
- Sceneries MSFS
- Sceneries X-Plane
- Best Addon DCS
- Tools
- Hardware
- Freeware
- Content Creators
Throughout the evening, nominees were given the spotlight before then the winner being announced by members of the panels. You can watch it back above.
Celebrating the talented teams and individuals behind our favourite creations has always been a huge goal of ours and it’s great to see the first awards ceremony happen at FSWeekend – what a way to kick start an exciting weekend. A massive thanks to the community who voted and gave us valuable feedback for next year. We’re exciting to see how the Flight Sim Awards grows for 2026.
