Lol..

 

Found this:

 

I keyed it all in from a magazine that time and was amazed, but it was 1981~1982 times.

All in 1kb, so am I an very early simmer now ?

 

Btw, video is not mine, but I remember it very well. Even my uncle those days was impressed with computers.

It wasn't very popular at the time as it was for the Sinclair. Most people at that time had Apple IIe's or Commodore PC's.

 

I had the Apple IIe with Sublogic flight sim version 1 and 2. Sublogic's Flight Sim 2 was very impressive at that time and released just after it. That one set the standard for what we see today with its many addons.

 

When msfs release 4 came out I traded my Apple in for a PC. When MS killed Aces I traded in my PC for an Apple

Computes Gazzette?

Does anybody remember a "simulator" called Rendezvous for Apple 2?  A Space Shuttle simulator around 1983-ish?  I know that because I remember listening to Come On Eileen on the radio around that time in the background and thinking Rendezvous was the greatest thing ever.  Anybody?

I remember sub logic flight simulator for the commodore 64.  I thought that was old!

Yep, I had FS2 but subLogic as well. I still remember the 5 PFS after all these years. At that time I never would have guessed we would have the type of sim we have these days.

This site has a sequence of screenshots of all the versions of SL/MS Flight Simulator

The ZX81 was very popular here in the UK, though I had its bigger brother the Spectrum.

First Sim, typed in from a magazine, was an IMC airliner simulation, where the only 3D view was of the runway and that just on finals.

That would be very early 80's. I had to debug some machine code to make it work...

The Spectrum was ... amazing:

 

I had to add RAM (from 16 KB to 48 KB), load the flightsim from a cassette recorder, wait for some 20 mins, just to find out something went wrong with loading the code, so I started loading all over again.

 

But it had (IIRC) 16 colours - top of the line in those days ...   :rolleyes:

I had a great time with Rendezvous. Learned a lot, too. Seems like it took forever to plot the orbit graphic.

Relics sims from the past first touch a flight sim was FS 4.0 in middle school and got fs98 as Xmas present played it a bit actually.  In 2008 started out gamepad with fs9 ended up with a yoke in short time. It does give good perspective sometimes 

Psion Flight Simulator for the 48k ZX Spectrum was my first flight simulator (Christmas 1982). It was very basic, but it still had better graphics than FS5 :lol:

You just HAD to bring up 80's music?  Oh great.  Now I'll have 80's music playing in my head during the endless meetings today at work.

 

Still trying hard to forget that decade...  lol

Flightsim/spacesim was more science and less game than today.

 

No plug and play then ...

 

I was still in school and poring over the computer magazines, I was so fascinated ...

 

I also remember programming a very basic FS on a school ZX80, I was so proud when the 3 instruments worked (speed, altitude, attitude) and the horizon moved!

I don't want to ever forget the 1980s (or the 1970s for that matter). I was younger then, and I would give anything to go back for just a day and remember what it was like......

Eight, in a dark or bright shade. I still use my Spectrum +2 with its 128 kB volatile 'hard disc'. I find Sinclair Basic by far the easiest programming language to remember though it is bloody cumbersome. Last project was writing an iterative James Lovelock's Daisyworld routine, partly to see if I could do it without calculus, and partly because the +2 was gathering dust & the caps needed reageing. Sad...

Just switch your screen resolution back to 256 colours 800 × 600 pixels and run something like Prime95 in the background while listening to a mixture of white noise and feedback howls on your stereo  .
