Do you still play FS98

Released in 1997, FS98 was heralded at the time as a great new Flight Simulator.

I wouldn't say I actually play with it anymore. More like test and compare things every now and then.  I actually have all versions FS1 thru FSX on my PC.  I use emulators to run versions 1 thru 4 and about version 5 I can run them as normal.  Quite a kick.

It's interesting to venture every now and then to older FS version forums just to see what possible could be happening.  Same type stuff just in a different version.  Reading a few posts above this of an old timer finally moving from FS98 to FS2004. Man, is he in for a shock!   :)

Have it installed and use it from time to time. Mostly for IFR routes. Not really the simulator for VFR, it is not. A great platform to teach about VOR navigation though (no default GPS), even if an update of the various worldwide VOR, NDB and ILS would be nice (yeah, I know, I have a dream ;D).
There's but one real cure for human stupidity. It's called DEATH.

At the moment mourning the assassination of sarcasm and irony for the good of the "higher".

I love the old games and sims, they run so well on newer hardware that I can turn all the details up.  Newer OS is a slightly different matter... :-?

I have it and opt into it on rare occasions -- probably more often than 2k2 (never installed FS9). My favored is still CFS1 but my CFS2 still gets more usage than FS98 or FS2k2.

I have it on an old 500MHz P3 machine that gets dusted down once a year, had it on a laptop too - along with Crimson Skies/CFS-1/CFS-2/FS2002 until the 'HD' (and the 'LCD') finally gave up on me!. :(

Probably played CFS-1 more thou' - especially over the firm's LAN at lunchtimes - happy days!... ;)

FS2000 all the way! My comp is too old to handle Fs2002 (Never tried it mind)
But hopefully getting a brand spacking new comp in the summer, and then it will be Fs2004 all the way.
Why not FSX?
Probably because it's still cheaper.  The reason I've never installed FS2k4 is because it's too large a program -- FSX?! :o

I think this Block should be remove , eventhough FS98 is still well preserve Like brand new as my FSX box ,its too old ,this block should be use to instead FS98 should be all MSFS before FS2000, or [i]MSFS From the last century, see how funny was the beginning o this game
