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. :D :D

Ya, I remember, The graphics were incredible...... at the time. :P and the sound...... :shock:
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 :D

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.
