First Successful simulation...

F19 by micropose, every sunday all day... never was good at FS back then, but then again I use to just fly through the aerial towers on the Sears building. I suppose that's not a very cool thing to do these days.

I started in FS6 back in October 1996. I remember going for FS5 but held out for FS6 which was due for release soon. It was a case of "Wow - there's an airliner in this one!" (737-400).I flew Meigs to O'Hare a few times in the C182RG, getting probably no more than 7-8fps. I did my first "airliner" flight from Paris Orly - London in that sim as well in the 737-400. No airports in the UK other than Heathrow, Gatwick, a couple of airfields around London and Glasgow (Glasgow was a runway only, no taxiways).I remember buying an addon that gave me like 10 extra planes (some company called Whiskey Bravo or something sent me a leaflet through), this was followed by a UK airfields addon that added a couple of airfields into the south of England. Those were the days of paying for things, no freeware at that time (well we didn't have internet for one :-)) Of course with FS98 came the web not long after, and my days at college were spent filling floppy disks with addon planes from FS.com.....
