I think we can all agree that we got a lot more for our money this time around.
And for those that argue that, “At least it worked…”
BUGS Flight Simulator II at release.
If the Reality mode is enabled, the engine stops when leaving the Editor menu to resume flight.
Three out of the four Instrument Landing Systems (ILS) available in the default scenery are not accurately aligned with the associated runway. The affected ILS localizers are offset from the runway center line by up to 2°. Only the alignment of Van Nuys ILS 16R is correct.
On European C64 computers, the simulation runs 20 percent slower than real-time speed. Consequently the airplane appears to react sluggishly and flight progress is slower than shown on the airspeed indicator. For the latter reason, navigation parameters like ground speed, wind speed and estimated time of overflight cannot be correctly determined.
Let’s step back and take a deep breath. Asobo/Microsoft have delivered a pretty amazing technological leap. We are riding the hairy edge of developement. There are going to be some casualties along the way. I for one am enjoying the ride. Let’s keep working together to help those with issues and try to reduce the frustration some are dealing with.
This sim/game has been out long enough that the knowledge base on this forum is getting deep enough that I think we can manage to bring everybody along on this ride.
Keep perspective and Fly ON.
My first Flight Simulator was FS 5.0 back in 1993. It was stored on 2 floppy disks. A few years later came FS95 on CD-ROM. It was so amazing! Good memories.
Remember the 747? The FMC was just a painted piece of the cockpit. Didn’t do anything. Buttons didn’t even say “INOP”. Mouse never saw them.
I think the 182 had more automation than the airliners.
Don’t forget the refresh rate of a couple FPS at best (at least that’s how FS II ran on my Apple). And forget finding your town, let alone your home (unless you lived in the Sears or Hancock towers).
What SubLogic FS did was give a kid the dream, if not the experience, of flying - and on really modest hardware. I think FS 2020 has the potential to do that to a much larger audience (once they work out the kinks).
Talk about a thread that brings back memories… I am starting to realize I’ve actually aged a bit since that first screen… lol. When I start to think how much money I’ve actually dumped into MSFS over the years, I realize it was all worth it.
This is the kind of attitude I am looking for.
There ARE experts on this forum. They ARE willing to help. They ARE tired of the abuse, and defeatist posts. There is hope for all of us.
