Happy birthday! I was 4 years old when the first version came out, fs5.0 was the beginning for me, been addicted ever since. You have created what many of us would never think possible. Congratulations.

Happy Birthday Microsoft Flight Simulator.

Congratulations on reaching this massive milestone.

Thank you Asobo for bringing MSFS back and for allowing all of us that would of loved to have been a real life pilot but for one reason or another couldn’t be, feel like we are a little closer to flying than we ever got chance to be.

Looking forward to seeing you mature over the years approaching your 50th Birthday.

He founded Sublogic after graduating from the University of Illinois at Urban in 1977, and released the first version of Flight Simulator for the Apple II in 1979. His original software was purchased by Microsoft in 1982 and became Microsoft Flight Simulator 1.0. Cheers Bruce!

What a legend. Also looks like Howard from The Big Bang Theory, total doppelganger, hope he got to see that before he passed.

Happy Birthday!

Thanks MS for nearly a lifetime of flight simming enjoyment!

Complete legend and very humble - He’s very much alive! Shame my post got split it was meant as a tribute to Bruce and it will probably get lost now!
