Flight Simulator 1998

I just found my old copy of FS 98 and decided to try it out for old times
sake.
Eeeek!!!!! Did we really think that was "as good as it gets"?!
Microsoft have certainly brought it on in the years since.

If you consider that they reckon the military computers are usually five to
ten years ahead of the civilian ones; imagine what FS2004 COULD be like
tomorrow if stuff was de-classified.
We will be laughing at FS2004 in two or three years I am sure.

If my wallet is spared that long! :-(

Salut,


Many of us have had plenty of enjoyable hours, years ago,
the nose in front of FS 4, and it was a lot of fun too.

I remember having seen a flight sim (on large screen) running on a
Silicon Graphics, ~10 years ago, at an "Imagina" (3D International
Forum) in Monaco.

It was far better than what FS2k4 is !
(far more expensive too)

Military computers are designed and run by civvys, the computers themselves
aren't advanced, it's the programming, the way they are used and the systems
that they operate that are advanced.

I used to think that FS95 was great. I was just annoyed that I
couldn't fly around the world, the scenery (or lack thereof) outside
the US made it surreal flying anywhere else. And, I had to navigate
with VOR/NDBs just to fly from Chicago to Seatlle/San Francisco. But,
it was a great feeling when you reached your intended destination,
lining up with the runway took a few flybys! :-)

Let's go back a bit further. Try this one for size :-)

I had sublogic flight simulator 2 for the c64 that was a breakthrough back
in the early 80s

Sheep maybe.


Hopefully to where Looking Glass Studios brought us in September of 1999
with Flight Unlimited III.

I am about to install 2004 and will be pleasantly surprised if Microsoft
has done anything like that.

Flight Simulator 98 was a dog IMO. Flight Simulator 2000 was garbage even
according to the sheep. Maybe Microsoft was in a rush trying to copy Flight
Unlimited III.

Have fun anyway.

I am still using FS98 because my pc is pretty old and cannot handle the
newer games. I have a pretty large aircraft library, and I have done some
repaints.
