I'm trying to register to another site but this questions got me stumped :("Registration Question. Please Answer! What are the three alpha-numeric initials that describe the version of Microsoft Flight Simulator released in 2003?"

FS2004 was released in 2003. IMO, the answer's FS9.

Yup, despite the name, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004: A Century of Flight to give it its full title, was in fact released in late 2003. This was because they wanted the launch to coincide with the 100th anniversary of the first powered flight by the Wright Flyer on December 17 1903, which is why there is a picture of the Wright Flyer (or Flyer 1 if you prefer its other name) on the box artwork.Al

_{Thanks guys, FS9 did it.}

Kind of like buying a brand new 2013 model automobile in 2012.......No it is not a car from the future, it is called Marketing

At least with broadband internet updates can be downloaded. Back in the FS5.0 days, the FS5.1 update was only available in stores on CD's, and you had to pay for it.

 

By the way:

 

FS 1 on early computers

FS 2 8088 cpus and Atari

FS3 x86 cpus.

FS4 still DOS, the Pentium does not exist yet

FS 5.0 486 DX/2 VLB is fastest system available

FS 5.1 First on CD instead of floppies, first to work with the Windows GUI, first realease in the pentium era

fs6 = FS95 first windows FS instead of DOS

fs6.1 = FS98

fs7 = FS 2000

fs8 = FS 2002

fs9 = FS 2004

fs10 = FSX
