      @@superhakujin I mean, it was a pretty big deal when he did it.
      I was like 8 and I remember it blowing up the local news for days while they showed barges showing up to get the airplanes off and stuff.
      I looked it up while I made this comment (just to make sure it was Daley) and apparently he was only fined like $30k by the FAA for not giving a 30 day notice lol
      Seems very light and I can’t say I really blame him. Having an airport that close to a city center post 9/11 is a bit nuts and it’s a fantastic park nowadays… still wish meigs field was a thing but I think it turned out alright for everyone involved. And the fact that MSFS kept it in, it’s like we never lost it.

    I started with MSFS 95 and every time a new version came out, I thought, 'I don't think they can improve anymore over that!'. Boy, I've never been so wrong!

    IBM XT, 286, 386, 386 w/Math Coprocessor Chip, 486, 586 to i9-13900. Flew this simulation on all of them.
    Every version they put out. I love this sim and appreciate all that has been done to make it as good as it is today. Good memories and looking forward to the newest version, which I have now.
    Let the adventure begin.

    I started with Sublogic on an Apple II in 1980 but I was already an actual pilot so never paid much serious attention to it until 2020 came out but it wouldn't run on my computer until in 2022 I built one that could handle it. That was certainly a quantum leap but now that 2024 is out I'm holding back. I'm not so much into the gamey aspects of it but if the tech and world views are greatly improved I'll probably get it.

    I've been enjoying the thrill of flight I could never afford in real life with Microsoft since '82. Now I've begun the next learning curve challenge with MSfS 20-24 and have NO regrets on being an early adopter, bugs and all. A solid improvement on the 2020 offering IMHO, worth the $100 it cost me for the Deluxe package. One thing is for certain in life - haters gonna hate and many RUclips negative review vids are proof positive.

    Owed and played pretty much all of them...yes starting in the DOS 2.1(?) days. For me one of the biggest leaps forward was playing MSFS 2020 and now 2024 in VR on a Quest 3. Will never go back to a flat monitor again.

    • @the_omg3242
      @the_omg3242 7 часов назад

      It's ironic because I have a VR headset and a computer than can handle FS2020 in VR with pretty good graphics, but I still do most of my flying on a flat screen using TrackIR.
      With VR I lose stuff like my Stream Deck and the indicators on my HC Bravo. Not to mention the assorted switches on that and the Alpha that I have a hard time remembering without looking at the labels.
      I also can't play for multiple hours in VR like I can with the monitor. It is impressive for short flights though.

    I sure feel like there were others from 82 to 95 hahaha either that or I have some one offs. Somewhere I still have all the boxes from FS 5, 95, 98, 2000, 2002, 2004. I remember when I was 8yo and my dad showed me FS 4.....been hooked ever since.

    i played FS 95 back in the day. it was a novelty at best. I then moved on until FS 2004 which i played with friends quite a bit. when FS X came out my pc wouldn't handle it so i skipped that one. in 2021 i started FS 2020 and slowly upgraded my pc so that i play in VR now. But I will be in FS 2024 tomorrow!

    The reason I think people are so frustrated with MSFS 2024 is because they didn't want to wait for it to be bug free, when new software comes out it needs to be given time to be fine-tuned and people need to have patience, which is why I decided to wait awhile until at least six months to a year because by then everything should be good to go.

    I tried one of the really early ones either on my Mac Classic, Atari ST, or Amiga. Don't remember which machine, but I had all 3 about the same time and found civil aviation boring compared to combat games. FSX was the one that really got me into it and the oil rig mission with the chopper was one of my favorites. Really liked 2020 but was so disappointed they took out the missions and was looking forward to the career mode in 2024. Turns out most of those flights are boring and repetitive and I just do free flights in 2024 anyways. lol.
    They've sure come a long ways.

      Microsoft decided to abandon the FS franchise for a bit. in 2012, they built this super weird gamified version called “Microsoft Flight” which looked beautiful but was limited to Alaska and Hawaii. then in 2015, Asobo decided to pick the flight sim back up again due to massive advancements in server power, GPUs, and satellite data.

    Not quite correct. Flight SImulator started out ini 1983 with subLogics Flight Simulator, which was monochrome. Microsoft then bought out subLogic, and rebranded it as Microsoft Flight Simulator and added CGA Colour.
