VATSIM is back again at #FSExpo 2026! It seems this year they are giving hands-on introductory experiences. You'll even be able to listen to live air traffic control!?! Controllers from the Minneapolis ARTCC on VATSIM will be providing coverage live from the show floor!

The A-19 Brawler is not as quick and sexy as the other fast-jets in Nuclear Option, but it can deal massive damage to surface targets in ways other aircraft can only dream of. Even the new AB-4 Alkyon is not safe from its internal cannons! #NuclearOptionGame #NuclearOption #flightsim #indiegame 1/2
