Welcome to this year’s Community Choice Awards! We’re confident that many of you enjoyed at least 1 product (or more) from 2018’s massive collection of new releases. Whether that was a new aircraft, impressive piece of scenery or useful utility – there was something for everyone.
Over the past 3 years, we have run our Community Choice awards as a way for the community to provide feedback to developers who have released a product from the past year, and to give you an opportunity to vote for the best of the best. It’s like the Oscars of Flight Simulation. The winners get something: the recognition they deserve.
Phase One
Voting Opens: 19-Jan-2019
Voting Closes: 24-Jan-2019 (23:59z)
The first part is ‘Open Voting’. We list all of this year’s categories and you, as a community, have free reign over which products are then put forward for us to shortlist.
For example, in the category of “Aircraft of the Year”, you will be able to submit whatever choice you’d like into the box. (Providing it was released during 2018).
After phase 1 is closed, we gather all the votes and then we compile our shortlist of appropriate products. The shortlist is a choice of the most popular/reoccurring products/developer in each category.
What are the categories?
BEST LARGE AIRCRAFT
Any aircraft with more than 16 seats qualify here.
BEST SMALL AIRCRAFT
General aviation, helicopters or private jets – plenty to choose from in this category.
BEST AIRCRAFT DEVELOPER
You’ve picked your favourite aircraft, now tell us your favourite aircraft developer of 2018.

Large terminals, long runways and plenty of traffic to keep you occupied. What was your favourite in 2018?
