I love that they’re like “yknow what? Let’s make this the only non-realistic thing” and keep it in the game lol Still remember the day Daley tore it up…
@@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.
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've been heavily debating buying this myself cause I want the real life experience and just a joystick regular contor type of setup but man this looks so beautiful and amazing I want it
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.
I believe I had that one. Found it in a Military BX in 1988 for my Commodore Amiga 500. The Flight Sim that hooked me though was F-18 Interceptor for the Amiga.
Miss Meigs. It was home for so long
I love that they’re like “yknow what? Let’s make this the only non-realistic thing” and keep it in the game lol

Born in 1979. i grew up with this.
Started with FS in '83 on a Commodore 64 and thought it was fascinating. I'm still messing with it today (FS 2020).
That brought back a lot o,f great memories, thanks
Happy msfs 2024 day btw 🎉

missing Microsoft Flight Simulator 3.0 (1988)
I started with MS Flight Sim and a Tandy 1000 in 1989.
I started with Flight Simulator on Sinclair ZX81.
So did I! I really miss that sim
I still remember typing programs in on that stupid little keyboard. (and half the time they wouldn't work due to some minor misspelling)
I seem to remember it took 15 minutes to load the program from an audio cassette!
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.

someone is cutting onions over here
I spend many many hours playing that original MS flight sim

You forgot FS1 for Apple II and TRS-80.
And the C64. That was before MS bought it (or the company?) from Sublogic, IIRC?
and someday when they perfect VR in tandem with really great resolution, its going to be insane, you will literally be there
I've been heavily debating buying this myself cause I want the real life experience and just a joystick regular contor type of setup but man this looks so beautiful and amazing I want it
Wow. 2006 was a major upgrade.
FS 4 ran pretty sweet. Someone needs to remake Corncob 3D, though.

What happened between FSX and MSFS 2020? Why such a large gap?

@ that’s pretty cool. Is there anywhere I can read about this?
@@AviatorLegend just google the history of microsoft flight sim and look at the wiki page. it’s a good overview of the franchise.
We don’t talk about flight. It never existed. It was best too forget it existed
I owned and flew them all.
I called this a decade ago.. no one at VATSIM listened. And yes I’m a Founder.
800008.
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.
The title of the video is "The stunning evolution of MICROSOFT Flight Simulator" 🙄
I believe I had that one. Found it in a Military BX in 1988 for my Commodore Amiga 500.
The Flight Sim that hooked me though was F-18 Interceptor for the Amiga.
And now 2024 is out as of 4 hours ago
The only one I ever played was the first one...
Still playing fs2004 just got done flight today
youre missing the trailer for MFS28
Great, thanks !!! IMHO, vintage flight simulation is more fun than turbocharged graphics of FS2020 ...
pog
I had a game F15 strike eagle on i think amstrad pc on 5 1/2 floppy disc that had only 4 colours and worse graphics
I had one with the same title, F-15 Strike Eagle on Amiga 500. It was pretty fun, there
were air - air and air - ground missions.
FS2000 was the one you could fly into the world trade centres ...until they patched it
Ya nannas moustache
It’s like a joke
