August 8, 20205 yr I still remember the first time flying as a little tike on a Timex Sinclair T1000. Mom and Dad would have to make me go to bed😂 Chris Sunseri
August 8, 20205 yr Fun to see old sim and how far this has actually been allowed to develop over the years. But not so fun to realize that the years have passed very quickly since I first became acquainted with Flightsim for the very first time in '84.

I found it nearly unflyable and gave up. Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;

August 8, 20205 yr Ah, memories. I started with FS2 as a kid and have loved flight sims of all brands and versions ever since. FS2002 was probably my favorite version simply because the fidelity made such a significant jump from FS2000 which was really a dog in terms of performance. Chris

August 8, 20205 yr There was a twitchy elevator response? After 30 years. I can't even remember what I used for a joy stick. I think it was a small simple device or maybe just the keyboard.

This was before I'd learned to edit files to fix things like twitchy responses. Hook Larry Hookins Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of EarthAnd danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;
August 8, 20205 yr I still remember bothering my neighbor pretty much everyday to use his FS 5.1. Once I got hold of a copy, I would lean a chair against my yoke to allow a leveled flight because I still had not figured the default Learjet's autopilot out.

August 8, 20205 yr Oh, by the way, you can play FS 1, 2, 3 & 4 right in your browser on this site: https://s-macke.github.io/FSHistory/
August 8, 20205 yr Nice. I love those vids about old games. The first flight sim I played was FS 5.1. We had a Mac back then so I had to play it at my neighbour‘s. The first one I owned was FS 95. Good old memories. i9-11900K, RTX 4090, 32 GB ram, Honeycomb Alpha and Bravo, TCA Airbus sidestick and quadrant, Reverb G2
