This is the first flight sim which I purchased in 1984 for the Tandy CoCo II.

And after 33 years of flight simming, I finally bought a TrackIr 5. What a difference! Not sure why I waited so long. :?

That is AWESOME!

I had the Coco as well - loved that machine. I think I also had the upgraded one (Cooco2 or 3 - can't remember - white case, compared to the original grey case).

Funny you should mention theold school Flight Sim...I have in my closet a Commodore Vic 20, C64, and C128. I also have SimLogic Flight Simulator II for the C64 here :)

Cheers! :mrgreen:

I bought my 1st Tandy coco in 1981, 16k ram, $900.00.
Then got the coco 3 which had 64k ram but the upper 32k was not accessible in dos.
Got tired of the cassette player so bought a single 5mb hard drive. I think that was 3 or 4 hundred dollars lol.

I did learn basic and pascal programming though and tried my hand at machine code.
If you used OS9 you could use a windows like operating system. It was amazing what you could do with 64k of ram.
