With more than 70 exhibitors, FlightSimExpo is produced by Flight Simulation Association, an organization of developers, simmers, and real-world pilots working to promote flight simulation as both a hobby and real-world training aid. Over 2,000 people are expected to attend. As the official hardware sponsor of Microsoft, participants can try Microsoft Flight Stimulator with MSI’s GE Raider laptops, Artymis monitors, Infinite RS desktops, as well as using the Vigor GK30 keyboard and Clutch GM11 mouse.
Nestled in Booth VR-1 next to Varjo in the VR Experience Center, MSI is showcasing how their groundbreaking laptops, equipped with high-performance GPUs, power the future of flight simulation offering precise and expert training for the next generation of aspiring pilots. Participants can experience Varjo’s immersion powered by MSI’s laptops.
Additionally, MSI is working with Thrustmaster, Redbird, and Simfab. The former two companies specialize in high-quality controllers and joysticks for flight simulators while the latter creates high-quality flight simulator seats to provide a realistic and immersive flying experience. Together with MSI, this allows all to target both the gaming enthusiasts and those looking to learn how to soar the skies.
Laptops with AI technology
Leveraging DLSS Frame Generation, which executes as a post-process on the GPU, MSI's laptops empower users to enjoy significantly boosted frame rates, even in CPU-limited scenarios. For example, in the highly detailed and immersive world of Microsoft Flight Simulator, which expo participants can try, DLSS 3 enables GeForce RTX 40 Series graphics cards to render at up to twice the frame rate achievable by the CPU alone.
The impressive power of the Raider GE68HX can be taken home by a lucky fan at the expo by answering survey questions, part of a NextLevelXR collaboration. All interest participants have to do is sign up at the VR Experience Center.
Virtual Reality for safer training
MSI's commitment to delivering unmatched performance is evident in the integration of Mux Switch, a feature that grants gamers, simulators, and developers’ direct access to the discrete GPU through their VR headset connection. By utilizing the full capabilities of the dedicated graphics card and minimizing latency, this innovative approach guarantees optimal performance and an unparalleled VR experience.
"MSI is thrilled to participate in the FlightSimExpo, where we can showcase our latest advancements in laptop technology tailored specifically for flight simulation enthusiasts," said Eric Coffman, business development manager at MSI. "With our Ada Lovelace Architecture GPUs and Full-Power GPU Design, users can enjoy remarkable visual fidelity and uncompromised performance, taking their flight simulation experiences to new heights. We are excited to demonstrate our commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions that push the boundaries of what is possible in the world of flight simulation."
