Hi again Bruce,

I’ve just found an article on Flightsim.com that may be of use to you:-

I hope it helps :)

EHM-2387 Eric-Jan:
I don't specifically remember my first flight, but my first flights (multiple) all were with the sim version that came before MSFS98. A wireframe "scenery" of the Chicago area, always taking off from Meigs field and crashing into the high rise buildings off to the left. With my knowledge today, I know why that happened and what to do to prevent that, but at the time I was just pressing buttons to see what reaction I would get out of the default C172.
By the time FS98 came out, I had a basic grasp of what the concept of flying was all about, and then things really "took off", so to say.
I even had a copy of FS98 installed at work so I could practice during lunch time (and slightly beyond  ::) ).
I joined EHM on 12/12/2008 with a flight from EHAM to EHGG in the Sukhoi 80. I flew that plane for quite some flights, because I got used to it rather quickly.
My favourite plane ever in the fleet is probably the Beechcraft 1900D, especially in the Croisière Noire livery. Easy to handle, good range and speed, versatile, even usable on unpaved strips... awesome!

@ E-J - Wow! You were simming in the days of FS95? That's cool :) I didn't start real simmming until FS2002, although I did have Psion Flight Simulator on my ZX Spectrum back in the mid-80's, but that wasn't anything but a simple game as I recall. I love the B1900D too - such a lovely plane to fly.

@ David - great route - the Zurich to Sion route and back is so enjoyable, good choice!

Anyone else want to share their start at EHM?

Hi Dominic, thanks for the link pointed me in the right direction , and now have fs2004 working on w10, now have the task of migrating  all my add ons across , fs2004 runs a lot cooler than fsx  on my rig and get better frame rates with most of the sliders to the right will look better outside the plane when l get the downloads on , thanks again for the link  best regards Bruce EHM-2131
