February 13, 20224 yr Just stumbled across this cool video, always makes me humble considering what I see today when flying in MSFS. And I even started with FS4 on an amber monitor … Thanks, JoylessTunic738 https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/a-short-video-on-the-evolution-of-flight-sim/498180 Edited February 14, 20224 yr by DAD Phil Leaven i5 10600KF, 32 GB 3200 RAM, ASUS 4070 12GB EVO, Asus ROG Z490-H, 2 WD Black NVME for each Win11 (500GB) and MSFS (1TB), Rolling Cache 16GB, Photogrammetry always OFF, Live Weather and Live Traffic always ON, Res 2560x1440 on 27"

February 14, 20224 yr Hah, remembering the old wire frame FS. That's when I started simming. Can we imagine how it will look in 20 years from now? Thanks for sharing! Most of what is said on the Internet may be the same thing they shovel on the regular basis at the local barn.

February 14, 20224 yr The ironic part of this story is that FS4 was the last version of Microsoft Flight Simulator prior to FSX that I actually remember with fondness. All of the versions in between were (IMO) a bit of a mess as far as graphics are concerned.

February 14, 20224 yr From the age of four i wanted to be a pilot. My first contact with flightsim was FS 3.0, Coming from not even knowing that planes had flaps, and learning about all the lights and instruments was the biggest kick ever for me. A wonderful new world opened up to discover. Every new version since never brought back that first kick however more beautiful the newer versions were. By the way; FS 3.0 is now abandonware, you can download it for free here; https://www.abandonwaredos.com/abandonware-game.php?abandonware=Microsoft+Flight+Simulator+3.0&gid=1977 I haven't yet tried this myself so i don't know if this is save, or even working.
