How Long Have You Been Using MSFS?

Recommended Posts

Yup, you're right.  I was going off the top of my head and at first I thought KB but I thought "nah, it couldn't have been that small."  It was indeed.  :smile:

I still remember my trusty C64's opening screen telling me it had 38911 bytes of RAM! Followed by 'Load *,8' to get the mighty 1541 disk drive loading.

 

My first flightsim was Solo Flight, on a cassette. Pretty good for it's time, actually.

 

Cheers, SLuggy

Since the first Sublogic version came out.

 

Prior to that I had various sims on the Amiga & C64.

Since FS4 and that Airliner one called Sublogic.

I just started to work on a company that has a small IBM mainframe shop in 1990 and saw this guy playing it. I said.."what game is that? and he replied, not a game...its a flight simulator".

Then the journey started from there.............

Bought my first in 1981; subLOGIC FS 1 for my Apple II. I had troubles flying with the joystick I had and lost interest until FS9.

Ah, Solo Flight! Thanks for reminding me, Sluggy! SF was my first sim as well. I guess I'll never forget the  "mighty 1541" whirr when it got to reading whatever floppy was inserted. :biggrin:

 

Then came Sublogic and Amiga 500 and Amiga 1200 and I was totally, irreparably hooked. B)

 

When I had to move to the PC world, my first sim was Flight Unlimited followed by FS2002.

Wow, a long time. Think it was some time around 1984 on a Commodore 64.

Still luv it after all these years !

 

I see I beat a few here by a day or 2 in joining  # of days ago.  :-)

As I recall all members back then had to re-create our memberships.

Can't remember why or how long before this I actually first became an AVSIM member ?

Back in 1996, at school I "test drove" FS5 (I guess), and a caring soul installed FSFW95 in a computer there. I was lost : biggrin:

 

What I can't understand is how could I survive 9 years without a sim until I got FS9 in August/2005 (and how I've managed 6 months without my X-52). I must be crazy...

My first sim was FS95, but I really did not use it because I was not good at it (I crashed A LOT!). The first sim were I used it and got in the air and flew was FS98.

FS98 was the first one I ever used...My dad bought it with our first PC in '98. Didn't stick though (I was just a litt ekid anyway). But I've been continuously simming to is day since I got FS9 sometime in 2007.
