Microsoft has thrown its weight behind First Class Simulations' Flight & Train Simulation Show 2007 being held at Birmingham city centre's brand new Art & Science museum, the ThinkTank on Saturday, November 17th. This event will see flight simming product publishers and peripheral manufacturers promoting their own product lines directly to consumers.
Commenting on Microsoft's prestigious commitment to this new exhibition, First Class Simulations managing director, Robert Stallibrass offered, "We are delighted that Microsoft have decided to attend this show. Their stand will take centre stage and feature up to 20 work stations running Flight Simulator X and the new Accelerator pack. We expect 1500-2000 visitors for the single day."
Those already signed up include a who's who of the largest publishers and peripheral manufacturers in the Flight and Train Simulation market. Exhibitors include Flight 1, Aerosoft, Saitek, RC Simulations and Abacus. Abacus will be launching Flight Deck 5, the sequel to 4, which has sold in excess of 50,000 units worldwide. Arnie Lee, President of Abacus in the US, said, "Robert and the team at First Class Simulations publish our titles in the UK, Scandinavia, and Germany. We wanted to launch Flight Deck 5 at a major, high profile European event. The Flight and Train Simulation Show 2007 is an absolutely perfect fit."
