Did you see any of this in v4 ? P3D has been my favorite sim for 7 years but I’d say ‘time to rise from your comfy chair and move your behind guys’ 😃. You say that you like P3D, but every comment I’ve seen from you towards it is extremely negative, and you haven’t upgraded to either of the last two - much improved - versions?? P3D is good at what it tries to do - it aims to be a progressively-improving FSX-compatible platform. V5 is my favorite sim ever (which may, of course, change on August 18th). Asobo have gone the other route - a ground-up new sim (more or less). They are both reasonable approaches, different goals, so different end products.

Quite right, but it was Bruce Artwick in 1979. I had it for the Radio Shack TRS-80. Computer-graphics specialist Bruce Artwick and pilot and marketing student Stu Moment were roommates at the University of Illinois. A2FS1 Flight Simulator, their first product after forming Sublogic,[2] had black and white wireframe graphics, featured a very limited scenery consisting of 36 tiles (in a 6 by 6 pattern, which roughly equals a few hundred square kilometers), and provided a very basic simulation (with only one aircraft simulated). Sublogic advertised that the $25 FS1 "is a visual flight simulator that gives you realistically stable aircraft control", with a graphics engine "capable of drawing 150 lines per second.

Ah, I do remember SLFS 1979... $25 is a steal. Here's my copy of SLFS 1983, which was AUD$80. I haven't opened it yet - but will get around to doing so soon... I also have the first Mac version, and the hardware to play both sims (including joysticks). Aiming for 60 FPS and no stutters! 🙂 Edited July 16, 20205 yr by n4gix Removed unnecessary long quote!

Do you happen to have the original FS1 box? I would love to see the front and back in full detail if you do. Interesting, I never knew that! BTW, whatever happened to Bruce? Is he still around I hope. If not, I wish he could've stayed to see how far MFS has come along.

They've been involved in the product too long to make the core changes that need to be done without being so intimate with it. I am TRULY THANKFUL that LM picked up the slack and gave us all a continuation and improvement of FSX but truth of the matter is it is still just an evolving FSX!
