raymin Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 I don't wish to show my age here, but my very first Flight Sim I believe it was Microprose Gunship on the ZX Spectrum, the game loaded via a tape deck, which usually took 25 minutes to load. Ground breaking for the 1980's but the down side was, if you got shot down or you crashed, you had to reload the whole game again, taking 25 minutes!!!:cry: CPU: Intel Core i9-10850K 3.6GHz, Motherboard: MSIZ490, RAM: 64GB DDR4, Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 10GB, SSD: 3 x Samsung 2TB and 1 x Samsung 500GB, Monitor: 34" IIyama LCD, Joystick: Thrustmaster HOTAS Warthog + F-18C Flight stick, Thrustmaster TCA Captains Pack Airbus Edition, Pedals: CH Products Pro, VR: Meta Guest 2 , Oculus Rift S, MFD: Thrustmaster Cougar, Head gear: Track IR4 and tobii, Chair: NLR FS Boeing Military Editiion Chair.

joey45 Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 Falcon 3.0 on the PC.. unless you count a flight sim on the ZX... The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and join the dance.

104th_Crunch Posted November 30, 2012 Posted November 30, 2012 (edited) I guess I need to revise my first sim. My first sim on the PC was DID's TFX released in 1991, but I did not buy it until 1993, before that 1990 LHX Attack Chopper for Sega Genesis Then 1991 F-22 Interceptor for Sega Genesis Edited November 30, 2012 by Crunch

Milli Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Flight Simulator by Psion for my ZX81. I had a RAM pack which boosted the computer from 1K of memory to a whopping 16K ! Was the first game that I bought, must have been in 1982, I loved it. Regards, Milli
