FS9 is just another name for FS2k4/A Century or Flight. (ACoF)

Not sure where you would find this. I think maybe Flight Simulator '95 was FS1 or something along those lines. Flight Simulator '98 was FS2 and so on. Not sure of the numbering there but you get the idea. This is supposedly the 9th flight sim put out by microsoft.

Thanks, should have thought that one out myself

Plus - the program installs itself into:

c:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Flight Simulator 9


So no matter what name(s) marketing calls it, it's FS9.

i remember the old Red Green and Blue Flight simulator my dad purchased for our tandy 1000 some time around 1985-87 ish? there was some sort of bi-plane combat mode you could put the sim unto, it would be basically a 172 looking panel with a WW1 style gun sight attached. you would fly aroudn a very basic land scape and shoot down little stick figure bi-planes. I played that thing nearly every day as a kid, guess i logged around 5,000 hours on that thing!!
