October 13, 20169 yr MicroProse Solo Flight (1983) & SubLOGIC Flight Simulator II (1984) for Commodore 64, and I was 29 - 30 years young. Man, that seems like a long time ago. Yep, I guess it was.

October 13, 20169 yr MSFS 5.0 DOS at a friends house got me hooked. Next came an overly priced 80386SX computer w/ FS95 as it's first software install on top of win95. Still have all the disks from FS95 thru FSX. FS2002 was recently reinstalled on the "utility" laptop for kicks. FS RTWR SHRS F-111 JoinFS Little Navmap
October 13, 20169 yr Chcuk Yeager's Advance Flight Trainer. Those where they days - No tweaking, no peripherals, no head aches. I used an Amstrad 286 PC, with double 5 1/4 floppy drives - no harddrive... Quickly progressed to lots of other fun titles on the Amiga which had unbelievable graphics and sound for the time, like F/A-18 Interceptor, Fighter Bomber and Wings. I also remember ATP on the PC, which was really cool and sort of the PMDG of it's day. Microsoft Flight Simulator never really appealed to me before FS2002, even though I've owned every version since 4.0. Simmerhead - Making the virtual skies unsafe since 1987!
October 13, 20169 yr EF2000, then European Air War, then Falcon 4.0. I realised that civilian flight sims might be more my thing when in Falcon 4.0 I started opting for aircraft ferry flights over actual combat...
October 13, 20169 yr Birds of Prey on Amiga (because it was so advanced) I totally forgot that one! Yes! That game was awesome on the Amiga! I also loved Flight of the Intruder on he Amgia. My bother and I believe that one Multiplayer using the port cables for the Amiga to LAN them together. I flew the A6 and he flew the F4 in escort. Those were the days!

October 13, 20169 yr First time I played with a flight sim was Sublogic Flight Simulator II on the Atari ST in the late 1980's, but I didn't get "hooked" on flightsim until I got FSX in 2012. Barry Friedman
October 13, 20169 yr I believe it was Chuck Yeager's Air Combat that on MS Dos... and then onwards I have been purchasing the MS Flight sim but I used to fly them for an hr or so and then give up... Meigs field ofcourse with those boxy buildings. ...until FS9 came along.. that was a keeper that also started my first addon aircraft (Dreamfleet's Piper) and CS's 727 which I still love to fly today... and then PMDG747 FS9. I forgot what my first addon scenery was... Maybe MS So cal photoscenery? Airport... I cannot remember. Hmmm... Then I started flying for real...but Simming never stopped... It went full fledged.. Been downhill ever since. Manny Beta tester for SIMStarter
October 13, 20169 yr F18 Interceptor for the Commadore Amiga 500 back in 1988. And I have owned every version of FS since FS95 and every version of XP since XP6. Geez I just realized that I've been a flight Simmer of some sort for almost 30 years! Pete Richards I've owned every version of flight simulator since Flight Simulator 3.0 in 1988.

October 14, 20169 yr subLOGIC Flight Sim 1 on Apple. Keyboard flew when ever we could on the high school computers. Ah that brings back fond memories ... Sascha Rieger | EVO Developer What is EVO • How to get Evo 2016 • FS9 Evolution Forum
October 14, 20169 yr Ah that brings back fond memories ... Yes it does. The good old days?? To have two floppy drives was a cut above. If I remember correctly that set up cost over 2 grand $$$.
