The 20th FS Conference will take place on November 15th, 2025, at Paderborn/Lippstadt Airport, marking two decades of one of Europe’s longest-running flight simulation events. Hosted by Aerosoft at their home airport, the conference continues to be a cornerstone of the simming community in Germany, bringing together developers, hardware manufacturers, and flight enthusiasts for a full day of showcases, panels, and interactive sessions. Visitors can expect an engaging mix of technical talks, live demonstrations, and exclusive previews of upcoming simulation products.
This year’s exhibitor lineup highlights the diversity of the global flight sim scene. Attendees will be able to meet teams from Aerosoft, Honeycomb Aeronautical, IVAO, SayIntentions.AI, PILOT’S, and MobiFlight — the latter also hosting a special hands-on workshop where participants can build and take home their own multifunction panel. You can book that here.
Other confirmed exhibitors include CockpitCrafters, HomeSim, Motion For Simulators, Virtual Airline Systems, Pro Flight Trainer, and Mockingbird Air, alongside several German-based simulator training centres such as Flugsimulator Langenfeld and Flugsimulator Rostock.
Beyond the exhibition hall, the FS Conference offers guided airport tours of Paderborn/Lippstadt (book here), giving visitors a rare behind-the-scenes look at terminal and apron operations. The day concludes with the traditional Captain’s Dinner, a social highlight that brings developers, influencers, and enthusiasts together in a relaxed setting. With free entry for all visitors, the FS Conference remains a must-attend event for anyone passionate about flight simulation and aviation technology.
FSElite will also be in attendance this year, giving you the chance to speak to us. We’ll be covering all the latest news from the event, so stay tuned.
