Do you still remember wich one was it? In my case it was, as I recall "FLIGHT SIMULATOR" (just that) for Sinclair Spectrum 16K
I still remember the wire black and white graphics (despite the Spectrum was in colors), and also the HUGe dificulty to land properly (I do not remember the airplane, it was some Cessna single engine high-wing model). And I still remember how delighted and amazed I was: to have such a PERFECT flight simulator in my desk was a dream come true...

The first one I used...
I tried one that my dad was using when I was about 6,it was either FS9 or FS8,then came FS8 again roughly 3-4 years ago and then the leap to FSX gold edition. 8-)

F15 Strike Eagle III from Microprose.

First one was MS Flight Sim. for Mac although I subsequently got an Apple IIe and used MS Flight Sim2, even though it was older and slower (Flight Sim for Mac came out after Flight Sim2).  Ahhh, memories of my long-expired youth...

My 1st sim was the DOS version that came with my 1st PC back in 1983. I used every upgrade since, but my heart still belongs to FS 2004.

My first FS was FS2002. I found it by accident when I was about 9 (around mid 2002) in my unlce's computer. I remember going to his house after school to play a bit of FS until my mother came from work to get me. Oh the fun times I had with the F-4U and Extra 300. I remember I never banked the aircraft because I couldn't level them after doing it!

FS2004 

For some reason, before 2006, I had never cared about planes or flight simulation...

CFS1 then FS2002.

There is no doubt that the late 1970's and early 1980's was the unique time for home computer exploration, with every bedroom throughout the world full of young, clever, enthusiastic, 8-bit computer programmers, (like me!) spending every hour of every day writing Computer code, and turning it into their own computer games, etc.

"Fozzersoft"... ...!

(But Bill Gates was the bloke who finally beat me to it, with "Microsoft"!)... ...!

A truly magic time for youngsters (and oldies!), which I wouldn't have missed for the world, courtesy of Sir Clive Sinclair, etc!... [smiley=thumbsup.gif]...!

A time that today's youngsters have missed out on... ...!
