How long have you played FS?

Postby gottoflynow » Mon Jul 10, 2006 8:38 am

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)

Gonna keep this brief cause Ive gone over it too many times:

Started with FS98

Switched to Combat Sims with CFS1

Played CFS1 for a while until I got CFS3

Dissappointed with CFS3, turned away from combat sims

Got FS9
