RESQUEST!!! (Read 4200 times)

My name is Luis and I consider myself the # 1 fan of Microsoft Flight Simulator.  Since I played Microsoft Flight Simulator for the first time, I liked it.  Now I have every single simulator from Microsoft.  I would like if someone could please make and airplane from CUBANA DE AVIACION which is the best airline in CUBA.  So please if someone could do it, i'll be more than happy because I think thats the only airline that doen't have an airplane.  Thank you all for reading this.

Luis

Can't help you on your plane, but did you know FS wasn't
originally a microsoft program?  a couple of guys in
Illinois made it.  I first flew it on an apple 2e in the
early eighties. You should still be able to find copies of
the original versions (there are a few, I can't remember
how many) available on the internet, but you'll probably
need to download an Apple Emulator to get them to work on
modern dos machines.  Just though the number one fan might
like to know. Smiley Good luck finding your plane.....

Grin If it is the BEST airline in Cuba, just repaint the default aircraft in that livery!? It is not that easy to model an aircraft, much easier to repaint one!

I note that in flightsim.com there are several Cubana de Aviación  aircraft, dating back to FS5 Constellation/Viscount, to current livery aircraft....

Moe,

I flew the first FS in the early '80 also, however I had an IBM PC jr.

I doubt if anyone could use it now as it had the big floppies that I don't believe the current computers can handle.

My copy, which I have in my hands right now, says "Copyright Bruce Artwick, 1982, 1984." Can't find the floppie though. It must have turned to dust by now.

Remember the total memory in our computers was 128K?

We've certainly come a long way from those earlier years.

There was a sim called ATP- Airline Translport Pilot around the time of FS4 which was I think written by the same people. I think they wrote it on behalf of M$ before FS 95 was launched.

BAe ATP for FS9 now available! www.enigmasim.com

LMAO, bout to beat that record....

At the time of original posting, I had found an old copy somewhere on the net, don't remember where now, but when I finnally got it to run, it ran so fast on my then modern early pentium machine, that I couldn't fly it at all.  There was probbably a way to slow it down to usefull FPS, but I never invested the time.  Now I just wish I could figure out what I did with the program. Can't seem to find another free copy.

Yeah, and Flight Simulator 4 works incredibly well on my laptop with Pentium MMX 233Mhz 64Mb ram and Win98. Cool

And looks way better than the II on the CBM64 too. Cheesy

Is there someone else who wishes to add his or her own rhetorical entry? Grin

Of course it looks better.  Your massive 64Mb RAM is 1000 times as much as a C64.  Smiley

LOL, I can't believe we,re still posting in this thread.  Even worse, two more posts and we'll have had a longer conversation than the original thread....

I'll tell you which sim I really miss.  Chuck Yeagers Flight Simulator.  Still have one of my old copies on those big floppies. I think I even transfered it to an audio tape from back in the days when you could use a tape recorder for an external drive, or at least you could with the old Tandy TSR80 computers I had before my Apple IIe.
I tried a copy from the net one time. Ran great, but couldn't find a controller the sim would recognized. pushing arrow keys just doesn't cut it.
True, wasn't the best ever sim or anything, but I used to love buzzing around in that early example of color graphics, thinking it was just the greatest with all of those planes it came with.
Dang, I feel old. lol
