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!
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.
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'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 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…
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!
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.

missing Microsoft Flight Simulator 3.0 (1988)

Great, thanks !!! IMHO, vintage flight simulation is more fun than turbocharged graphics of FS2020 ...
Still playing fs2004 just got done flight today
FS2000 was the one you could fly into the world trade centres ...until they patched it
I owned and flew them all.
youre missing the trailer for MFS28
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.
And now 2024 is out as of 4 hours ago

The title of the video is "The stunning evolution of MICROSOFT Flight Simulator" 🙄
