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 :( .  

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)

Since the 1970's, when the first portable computers were designed and released to the public...Apple, Radio Shack, Sinclair, Oric, Atari, Commodore, etc...etc...
...when flight simulator? programs first appeared...

Using Zilog Z80/Z80A, Intel 8080, Motorola 6800, MOS 6502, etc, 8-Bit Central Processors... ;D...!

Those were the days when bedroom computer programming was fun... ;D...!

Paul...8-Bit Fan... 8)...!
