WOW!! Excellent run down! I'm 59 years old and I was programming CNC machines using "Cobalt" and "Fortran" languages back in 1980. I remembered seeing a flight sim in a game room in the mid to late 80's and thinking, "...hmm, they may make a few bucks if they can smooth out the motion and remove some of the blocky pixellization". Now, many years later, I'm a Flight Sim hobbyist with $$$ wrapped up in MSFSX Deluxe Gold w/Accl Pack. I had to learn how to build computers so that I could build one powerful enough to run FSX with the thousands of dollars in add-on scenery, atmosphere, mesh, aircraft, lighting and on and on. I have a liquid cooled, overclocked, Intel processor, (o/c'd to 5GHz), and my 7970 is o/c'd as well. That, along with the other 'muscle' I had put together in my build, allows me to run my FSX sliders to full right position and still hold a solid 30 FPS. Even when flying over places like LA and NY in a thunderstorm. "...you've come a long way, baby..." Thanks for the tour! Rich

@richpaul81329 жыл бұрын
Jackomac43 You would be right if we were speaking about the base FSX software. But trust me, as a dedicated FSX hobbyist for over 5 years; when you put the thousands of dollars in High resolution add-on scenery, LC, mesh, aircraft, atmosphere and more, into the FSX base software, the latest Haswells would drop to their knees trying to maintain 30 FPS. In addition, you have to remember that I'm holding the FPS at 30 deliberately. By doing that, your CPU isn't jumping up and down rapidly trying to reach a "unlimited" FPS. The entire subject is one that's always discussed in the FSX hobby circles. There's a lot about FSX coding that you'd have to know before you may understand exactly why 30 FPS in a "fully-loaded" FSX setup would be considered very good. We're speaking about a software code that is nothing like most of today's gaming software. In the case of FSX, the software 80%+ CPU intensive. If the CPU isn't fast and able to quickly respond in each core, it won't matter how good your GPU is. That's not to say that the GPU isn't important, but compared to today's gaming software, the GPU plays a small roll and it's the CPU that takes the majority of the labor. If you ever get a chance, check out some of the Flight Sim websites and forums. You'll be blown away at what a 'addon-loaded' FSX flight looks like, (nothing like the original FSX base scenery at all!). It's almost as if you're looking at a video that someone recorded while they were in a plane. Hope that helps a little. Rich

Rich Paul I know, but I don't even have a great PC (Nvidia GTX 660) and it runs FSX Steam Edition at 60FPS on high settings. I've never been a fan of 60FPS games, because I can't see the difference. That's probably why I didn't buy GTA 5 PC as well.

I remember just a couple of dozen lines were representing Paris (half of them for the Eiffel tower) and i was flying over Paris, just those few lines, and it was so new, a new generation of games, a new concept, an unknown thrill generated by thirty lines progressing spasmodically... Live landscape simulation was born. And if you wonder how we could be absorbed into a game more symbolic than simulated, i have no answer; but that thrill was real because it became the drive for amazing development for the simulators.

Microsoft flight Sim 3.0 in 1988 started my life long dealing with aviation. Born in 85 and i remember playing it when i came out in 88 age 6 i flew an airplane for the first time. Age 16 i started flying lessons. Licensed in 2002 with I was 17. Started building my own airplane at age 18 and test flew it at age 21. Also go my Airframe and Powerplant Mechanics license in the middle of it. Few weeks ago I added my Complex endorsement to my Private Pilots license and started in on my instrument rating.

If only I could have shown 12 year old me what flight sim 2020 would look like, I would have crapped my pants. Especially now that VR headsets are a thing. Anyone else also play Airline Transport Pilot? I loved how involved ATC was. Fs4 never had that much ATC interaction. It was just all about flying around lol on your own... all rogue lol.

Hard to believe the original was just lines and no scenery. I played MS FS when it came out, along with my father-in-law. Banks and landings were difficult as there was a lag between when you moved the stick and the graphics responded. Related, when we were in Chicago Union Train Station a couple of months ago, there was a large photo of Meigs Field! Next to it, it said there were millions of crash landings there - until you noticed that it was talking about MS FS! Really cool! Thanks for a great FS evolutionary vid.

1- I do not know where you live but I believe that setting up a PC gamer (for example a Core i5 4460, 16GB DDR3 and a GTX 960) would not cost more than 800 dollars and would be more than enough to run any game in full hd (1080p) and of course run all addons for FSX in high level of frames per second 2- Already explained above 3- I think 800 to 1000 dollars should not be so hard to get like this ... make some savings. 4- So this is too easy. Download and install the hundreds of addons made for both FSX and other simulators emerging in the market such as X Plane 9 or 10 To see more information about it read this article: www.justflight.com/new-to-flight-simulation good luck

There are those who say you can't learn to fly real world airplanes in a simulation but I disagree.

Fantástico. Qué recuerdos. Me ha recordado a un hermano mío, ya fallecido, con el que compartimos horas con estas versiones. Gracias por traerme momentos felices.

Nice vid. I love early attempts for 3d graphic in games. I only played 2004, didn't have joystick so I used wheel and used pedals for pitch, didn't play any flight game since then.

That's great. I started out on the C64 version. It had some great literature with it. I will never complain about frame rates again!

Now I rembember I had FS v4 for Macintosh some 25 years ago, as well as the later ones for Windows, FS2002 and FSX. Funny to see the old Mac version again. I had completely forgotten it.

FS2004 is the best one I have to say in the Flight Sim series.

That's an amazing jump when you reach the Atari ST. Funny the Mac and the Atari were both 68000 based machines. I wonder why the Mac was not as good as the Atari?

This is awesome, 8 and 16 bit 3D, that's right it was a slide show but we were happy for it.

I remember playing this 3 color version. I had a portable (well as big as my desktop is now) and it had build in green screen. I spent hours playing this.

I'm sad they stopped making Microsoft Flight Simulator! It shows great promise and potential! I love its graphics controls and having almost all airports in the world! Wish they would remake and release a new version with modern graphics and much more detailed! Does anyone know anything about this plz post coz would love to read about it!
