Considering I've gone to IFC Denver, and AVSIM Washington D.C. already this year, that might be just about right

Saturday is my day. If I get time I'll post my opinions so you know what to look out for.

Well to be honest I am not that impressed with it. You can pick up a bargain or two but when you are paying Â£12 to get in you need to buy a few to make it worthwhile and there are no new products there, it is just updates and patches.

I don't think I'll go that far for it agian :sad:

Couldn't resist, had to go. Only there for an hour. It seems there was an attendance of some 2600 folk over the two days.

Given the somewhat quiet spell in the FS industry at the moment, it came as no surprise to find a lack of products. Perhaps next year, when developers are in full flow and bugs of various peculiarities have been ironed out, things will be different.

That said, I have never been one to leave empty handed. The big kid in me came out and I plumped for a "Buttkicker Gamer". It can best be described as Forcefeedback for the seat. It really is an amazing bit of kit and made up for the disapointment of the show. Certainly adds to the immersion.
