June 19, 20223 yr 47 simming since FS95 Did PPL in 1996 but have not flown a real plane PA28 since 2004 due to expense Edited June 19, 20223 yr by jason74 Jason Richards
June 19, 20223 yr 50 ... Started simming in 1986 with Sublogic Flight Simulator II on the Commodore 64 ... then Flight Unlimited I/II & MSFS 95/98 in the 90s ... FSX in 2000s ... P3D & XP in 2010s ... and MSFS since 2020. Len 1980s: Sublogic FS II on C64 ---> 1990s: Flight Unlimited I/II, MSFS 95/98 ---> 2000s/2010s: FS/X, P3D, XP ---> 2020+: MSFS Current system: i9 13900K, RTX 4090, 64GB DDR5 4800 RAM, 4TB NVMe SSD
June 19, 20223 yr I remember back in 1984, I had a Radio Shack Color Computer that could run a very early version of Flight Simulator. But the sim required 32K of system RAM back then. Not 32 megs or 32 gigs of memory, mind you -- but 32K. But my computer only had 4K of memory -- that's 4096 bytes. I simply couldn't afford 32K of memory. And if inflation continues, I may once again be in that predicament.

June 19, 20223 yr 57, simming since FS II 'It is better to be silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.'
June 19, 20223 yr 36, messed around w/ FS98 at my friend's house as a kid for starters, then never got into it seriously until MSFS.
June 19, 20223 yr Just turned 70, been at it since Sublogic FS. Before that I programmed a Learjet25 sim on the Texas Instruments TI99-4A Home Computer (in assembler!!)
