Here are some pictures from Flight Simulator v4.0.  Maybe I'll recreate these same scenes in FS2002 and do one of my transition things to it (like I did with FS98 and FS2002).   8)

Here's the Cessna 182 flying over Chicago:

The experimental plane at Meigs:

The 182 landing at Oakland:

The Learjet 23:

The flight simulator has come a long way.  How much space on your hard drive does that take up?

I think that's the version I found in my basement. Either that or FS3. I remember Xwing from 1992, it looked better than this. FS4 must be one old sim.

V4.0 was from 1989.  And yes, these are some impresive shots.  You wouldn't be able to tell them apart from photographs!  Cheesy  I got this copy a few days ago from a friend who sent it to me, since it doesn't work on his computer anymore.  It takes up a whopping 799kb of my hard drive.   Shocked

800kb. COF takes up about 4GB! Time to clean out my aircraft folder.
