How long have you played FS?

[Fozzer]

Started with FUII and FS98. Been flying for several years.

Dear oh dear NO FS SPEAK IN THE CAFE!!!
As for me Psion Flight Simulator on my beloved ZX Spectrum 48kb (with rubber keyboard)!
I started back into flight simming on the PC with FUII a few years back and then fell into FS/CFS along with a few other fun sims as well!
Flying = happiness

Microsoft has been around for quite a while and was producing Flight Simulator well before Windows was being stolen... I first ran Flight Simulator, made by Microsoft, on an Apple IIc in 1983. I also ran a Space Shuttle simulation made by Microsoft at about the same time.

FS98...then jumped straight to FS2002...what a difference...and then to FS9...FSX will probably go too after I get a new PSU

Started with fs5 but after lots of flying (mostly in the learjet) I got bored because of the lack of planes (4) after that my old compuiter wasn't good enough to run any newer flight simulators (specs: 166mhz processor, 32mb ram, 4mb video card) so I stopped flying untill I got a new computer (christmas 2004) then I went out bought fs9 and been flying ever since.

P.s. Surprisingly this ISN'T my life story.

something to bring back memories: http://fshistory.simflight.com/fsvault/index.htm

Can download all fs versions from fs1-fs5.1

FS2000 is my least favorite release. It didn't have any killer feature like an ATC. Just improved graphics, even though some scenery was converted from FS98. Also, it was most demanding in terms of hardware. FS2002 runs faster than 2000.
