Hello,

I would like to know how long you guys have played flight sims...I've been playing Flight Sims since I was 5... 7/12th of my life..First FS95 (which I was a good flier in), then Falcon 4.0 (which my dad thought would be a fun, easy shoot 'em game...little did he know) so all i did in that game was fly in circles, shoot and drop my ordnance on nothing, and than crash into my home base, then FS2000, FS2002, and then FS 2004,CFS3, then LOMAC...which doesnt work on my system Sad

Sad

.

So...how long have you played?

I still have the SubLogic scenery disks for the "whole" of the US.... I think the first MS version was FS 2?

I remember playing it on an IBM PCjr (with a Gorilla Green 13"monitor)

FS3.1.... long time ago... than through FS5, FS98, CFS1, FS2000 (Didn´t like that one too much, had no VC... a bit sad, after even FS98 having a bit of VC...), CFS2, FS2002, CFS3 (Didn´t like that one much, too, I still think the flight models are pure crap... at least for the most default crafts...) and now FS2004...

In between I played TFX, SFP1, IL2, FB, PF and all that...

I don't know when I got the F-22 Raptor Demo but the 1st was an old F-15 sim on a floppy. Just before CFS2 was ready for release, I finally got CFS1 (on my 1st attempt I couldn't get anything off the ground except the Sopwith until I learned the keyboard; I had no joystick at that time). Found Jane's WWII Fighters on sale for @ $7 but preferred CFS1 (and Jane's ran too choppy on that computer). Got FS95 on sale, then got CFS2 but favored CFS1. Finally got FS98 on sale but still favored CFS1. Got CFS3 with a store rebate imposed on top of the Microsoft one; didn't like it and uninstalled it. Found FS2002 Professional in a sell out but haven't done much with it.

...in Fozzer's humble opinion, FS 2002 Professional* was the most successful/impressive up-date to all the General/Commercial Aviation Flight Simulators.

"Pro Pilot '99" was fantastic for it's highly detailed Instruction Manual and Radio Navigation, but FS 2002 Pro was the best for graphics...!

First flew FS in 1995 or thereabouts; crude but effective.
Sort of forgot about it for a while, then when I flew the full-scale partial mockup of the Wright Flyer controlling FS9 on a huge projection screen (at Airventure '03- I kept that sucker flying for about 90 seconds- best time of all the other guys in line! Boo ya!) I was hooked.
Flight Sim was what finally got me into computers... Grin

Microsoft has been around for quite a while and was producing Flight Simulator well before Windows was being stolen... I first ran Flight Simulator, made by Microsoft, on an Apple IIc in 1983. I also ran a Space Shuttle simulation made by Microsoft at about the same time.

Started with fs5 but after lots of flying (mostly in the learjet) I got bored because of the lack of planes (4) after that my old compuiter wasn't good enough to run any newer flight simulators (specs: 166mhz processor, 32mb ram, 4mb video card) so I stopped flying untill I got a new computer (christmas 2004) then I went out bought fs9 and been flying ever since.

P.s. Surprisingly this ISN'T my life story.

something to bring back memories: http://fshistory.simflight.com/fsvault/index.htm

Can download all fs versions from fs1-fs5.1

FS2000 is my least favorite release. It didn't have any killer feature like an ATC. Just improved graphics, even though some scenery was converted from FS98. Also, it was most demanding in terms of hardware. FS2002 runs faster than 2000.
