Ready to take your flight simulation hobby to the next level of realism and entertainment? Try flying online alongside your fellow flight simmers in this friendly online community!

The POSCON Launcher enables users to download, install, launch, and auto-update all other software required to connect to the Positive Control Network. The Launcher auto-updates itself when a new version is released, so after the initial download from Flightsim.to, you will not need to download it again from here.

WHAT IS POSCON?

The Positive Control (POSCON) Network is a massively multiplayer online network that connects users of various flight simulator platforms (FSX, P3D, MSFS, and X-Plane) together with virtual air traffic controllers in an interactive, immersive, and realistic environment. Our team of highly skilled aviation professionals have developed a common error-based training system so that everyone, regardless of skill and knowledge level, can engage cooperatively together on the network. Consistency is ensured by gamification through a web-based point system solution where users compete for status.

POSCON was designed to cater to both newbies and experienced flight simmers. This is a judgement free community, come try us out!
