Having a meeting with the History of FS

[alrot]

Do you remember when most of you enjoy FS simulator like this? a friend gave it to me ,I though It was a big deal,It came with a Book(biger than a bible) two diskettes3.1/2 ,and I spend a while looking the cd,I didn't knew the disquetes where the MS software Microsoft FS ,Amazing all this came in less than 1mg

[SkyNoz]

Some history lol.. Really amazing though 1MG!!  :o

[MOUSY]

Well actually i think it was more like 1.4 zipped. But that was a good ole sim. The default fighter was fast!!!

Is that sopwith an add-on?... didn't know they actually made add-ons for that...

[alrot]

Correct (sorry) yes 1.3 mb per disquette in *. CaBtotal 2.6mb; the software it total its 5.6 MB after being discompressed...

And now 14 gb ,what a small diference  ;D

[Rifleman]

I'm so glad you got that nice shiny new video card to show us those quality shots there, Alex......very nice indeed...........

......Yes, I think we all remember that sooooo well.....isn't moving into the future very nice when you can see where we came from ?  

[beaky]

Wow... color. And shadows!!

I remember flying FS5 (?) with onboard gfx on a clunky old hp desktop...made this look like FSX.

But it was fun!!

[alrot]

I find personaly this shot and this FATHER of the actuals fs9 & fsx very Interested as any of the new good shots, its amazing how we have advance in less than a couple decades ,and yes Ken you are very right we can't never go foward meeting our pass..

The good old times !

I remember, that I allways liked to fly that 172 RG, with the retractable black things it was moving on !

The profile less wings must be very good for flying very fast.

And the camel, not wasting any weight on a Pilot, engine or propeller.....

[gijake]

OMG!!!! Where can I get that scenery and those planes???????  they are AMAZING!!!!!!!!








I need to find a copy of that game, just to see what it was like.

That My Good friend "Shaft" or "Mace Windu" its the Guilty of what we have today FSX Its the early Microsoft Flight EstimulatorI mean Simulator  ;D

[Ghostrider114]

yeah I remember that one, and it only had like 10 airports.  My favorite was Moffett Field because I liked to fly through the hangers, but hey I was like 8 or something like that.  I also remember tring to land on the carrier with the cessna 182.

[Bird-Nerd]

i spent hours trying to land on that stupid carrier. ah the good old days.  ::)

Try searching among abandonware sites. You can find up to FS95 there, only a click away.

[Rocket_Bird]

Ah FS5, or FS5.1 it looks like

That was probably my favorite version, as it was the first version of flight sim I flew.  The thing used to come with this big huge "pilots manual" that would keep the users reading and sniffing the book  :-[  

The graphics can be turned up a little bit too.  I believe they made Meigs field somewhat photorealistic, and the buildings have like small black windows

[Bird-Nerd]

so what was ms 1-4  :o
