For many of us that have been around the flight sim world for several years this image may bring back fond memories.
This is where it all began for me.

Ya, I remember, The graphics were incredible...... at the time. and the sound...... I think my hard drive was 40 Mb and my ram was 1024 and I updated it to 2048 for about $1200.00 now you can buy a 64GB flash drive for just over $50.00

I still have the floppy disc here somewhere. I threw my commodore 64 away. Probably should have kept it.

Yep, I had it too. I think I had my Apple 2C about that time or shortly after. Hooked it up to the TV and thought it was the best software made.

If I ever get around to it I'll post some pics / video Bill. I still have my C-64, C128, and a copy of flight sim sitting here ready to go again just for nostalgia

Apple 2+ was my first comp., came with a whole 64K of memory, I upgraded to 64K and a 80 character video card. Did my programming in UCAS Pascal, two 5 1/4 floppy drives. Many happy days with that setup. Now 16 Gigs of memory and 2 Gigs of video RAM.
