Whats your first FS and first FS flight

<< < (4/4)

EHM-1612 Paolo:
First flight during SMAU 2004, the technological expo in Milan. I was there with my best friend at Microsoft stand and I tried FS 2004 with a cessna, I think a skylane but we pulled the cloche too early and crashed...not a good start but there started my passion for flights...

EHM-1358 Tim:
FS98, tried doing EGCC-EIDW, and my only navigation tool was an atlas, got about 20nm off course and crashed on landing.

It's funny how much I've learnt over the past few years!

EHM-1883 Matt:
I remember my first EHM flight clearly. EGLL-EGBB Sukhoi 80. I remember it clearly because I remember the first time I did it, Flight Logger didn't record it, so I had to do it again! (didn't know about manual Pirep system yet)

EHM-1759 Ricardo:
My first flight was with FS4. I used Cessna in a local flight around Meigs Field. I still have the floppy disk. It's here with me :]

EHM-1749 Hector:
Mine was FS1 with an Apple IIc computer back in 1984. Could you believe that I paid US$ 3000 for that computer that had one 5-1/4" driver. I still have it. FS1 came with two of those disks if I remember.
My first flight was from Meigs Field to Champaing-Urbana airport.
At that city was Sub-Logic, the company that first created FS.
I still keep the whole FS's family. One of these days I plan to re-create that FS1 first flight with the Apple. I hope it still works. I never expected that FS could reach the level that we enjoy today.
But the most surprising thing is that the price hasn't change that much.
