Dude, my family went to Chicago in the mid 90s when I was a kid. Visiting Meigs field was like a pilgrimage to Mecca for me. I couldn’t BELIEVE I was actually in the real place after having spent so much time there in flight simulator. We even got to visit the tower and watch the planes take off and land.
As I recall the games were always too slow on the generation of computers which were available at the time. We sort of imagined what it would be like on a better computer. And tweaked, and tweaked and tweaked.. the computer and the game.
Total nostalgia. I would play this on my uncle's computer when he first got it back in 1993. Its crude now, but back then the graphics were mind blowing since it was the first 3D polygonal game I ever seen where it felt like I could see real places, and go anywhere, like flying up into the clouds. Keep in mind I wasnt a PC gamer yet, and I was still rocking the SNES, so it blew my mind.
i liked it , it makes me laugh when ppl say oh no no once you have played at 144hz you can't go back at 60.. this may be like 2 fps... i had a pentium 60 with it
Ha Megs Field! The executive airport where then Mayor Richard Daley literally had its run way torn up in the middle of the night. It was so sudden that there were planes trapped there.
This was my first ever Flight sim in 1996. Loved it! but being an MS DOS game I could not get the full scenery as I could not figure out how to configure and get expanded memory to work on our PC. But Flight Sim 98 worked fine :)
I remember when you would start the game and the engine sound would start way before the graphics (just like in this video). I always had to turn my speakers down before starting the game late at night so I wouldn't wake my parents up.
I miss Meigs Field. Darn Mayor Richard M. Daley!. BTW it is a very long time now that I'm tied up to MSFS. I started in 1983 on my Aplle II when it was still from Sublogic Coorporation. Thanks Bruce Artwick!
my first flight simulator. Running in a 486 dx75 and a 1mb trident vga, laggy as hell but playable as long as I didn't fly over big cities like new york, something that caused a harsh drop in the fps. I miss Meigs by the way.
This was mostly ported to Windows 95 as Flight Simulator for Windows 95. Despite being called a port of 5.1, there is more airports, cities aircraft, and superior graphics.
I still have this, box, big manual, and all. I guises I can’t bring myself to throw any of my old games away. It would lock up on my old 486. I always felt it was corrupted. Maybe one of the floppies was bad.
I seem to remember a Version of Flight Simulator in the 90s where the plane's engine made this horrible screeching sound on the PC Speaker (like a modem)
This was top of the line in the early 90s i remember playing this for hours on end thinking it was the most amazing thing ever. After starting fs2020 i had to come back and look at how far theyve come since this is the first sim ive played since 5.0
Back in the early 90s we didn't have fps - we had spf (seconds per frame) - and we were still blown away by the graphics.

this is absolutely mind blowing. I’m so surprised 3d tech was this advanced when doom came out this same year
God, I spent so much time playing this game
+Sherpaful me too and now the graphics look so dated, yet from memory I don't recall it being this "bad".
+hedegaard8 you might have used 5.1 ..it had slightly better graphics
That could very well be. That was +30 years ago, so also a bit difficult to remember exactly.
I Remember this much smoother was it really so haltingly?

Imagine being an air traffic controller there and just showing up to work one day with the runway torn apart.

This channel is gold
Back in the early '90's, I got my first PC, and I didn't care if it could do anything else as long as it could run this.
I remember when you would start the game and the engine sound would start way before the graphics (just like in this video). I always had to turn my speakers down before starting the game late at night so I wouldn't wake my parents up.
3 frames per second. That was the staple of an early ’90s hardcore simulator.

Anyone here play this in their childhood and having nostalgia feelings playing FS2020?
First MSFS with realistic sounds.😊

They are worth quite some money today...

PeteSanctions the original flight sim sound is even worse
4.0 from 1989 fits that bill
Is this the normal speed for the game or is it slow due to the emulator? It's honestly very impressive for 1993.
Probably the dosbox cycles were not set correctly. However, even in a real machine in 93 I guess you had some FPS.
Super Smooth 5fps ,Gpu might need an over clock
What that game have run (in that way) with a standard 486-SX/DX?
It used to. Maybe tweaking a little bit memory settings.
Squakenet i think you had to activate expanded memory in MSDOS by deleting NOEMS using emm386 etc But could never figure it out lol.
I just get an error in my head of that stuttering. Brr
I might play this. Looks ok as I have fsx but what is that fps? Too low
I don't think you can have good fps on this sort of old game. Even with a powerful computer
@@mikado0957 probs cuz they could only run at like 15 fps or 10 fps in those days

@@no65362 lag is based on your drivers (I guess)
I hope Microsoft can make it where we can play MFS 4.0 and 5.0
I doubt MS will do anything with that. But you can use Dosbox: www.squakenet.com/guides/dosbox/
Woooooooooooooooow
Not so much a case of low fps but high fpm! 😬
that frame rate tho
And here I am, thinking 60 FPS is way too low.
Bro I'd kill if my laptop could run every game at 40fps, but that's not the case
